The Nintendo Switch 2 is here. After years of leaks, rumors, and late-night Twitter speculation, the Nintendo Switch 2 has finally dropped. Today. And trust us, it’s not just a sequel; it’s a reinvention. The original Switch redefined what a console could be. The Switch 2? It takes that idea, supercharges it, and delivers a next-gen gaming experience that’s somehow portable, powerful, and packed with potential.

Whether you’re a longtime Nintendo die-hard or just someone who wants a console that can keep up with 2025, this is the machine you’ve been waiting for.

So, What Is the Nintendo Switch 2?

Think of the Switch 2 as the original Switch, but evolved. This isn’t just a slight upgrade. It’s a full-blown transformation. Nintendo went all-in: smoother performance, sharper graphics, bigger display, faster load times, and more robust third-party support. The console still slides between handheld and docked mode like a pro, but now it looks and feels like a piece of future tech.

We're talking about a 7.9-inch OLED screen that makes colors pop like never before. A brand-new NVIDIA custom processor gives games the extra muscle they’ve always needed. The Joy-Cons? Redesigned. More comfortable, more reliable, and yes, drift-free (finally). Nintendo didn’t just patch up old flaws, they reinvented the entire experience from top to bottom.

Is the Nintendo Switch 2 Confirmed?

Yes. It’s no longer a rumor. No more waiting for E3 or surprise Directs. The Nintendo Switch 2 is 100% confirmed and it launched globally today. Gamers from Tokyo to New York to Nairobi are already unboxing it. Pre-orders have sold out in multiple regions, and social media is buzzing. This isn’t just a quiet product refresh, this is a major global release. Nintendo announced it earlier this year, and now it's live, in stores, and flying off the shelves.

What is the Price of the Nintendo Switch 2 in Kenya?

The Nintendo Switch 2 price in Kenya is Ksh 84,999 at iTey Store in Nairobi. You’ll get the real console, factory-sealed, with full support. And no, you don’t need to order overseas or pay insane shipping. iTey has you covered, right here at home.

Is the Switch 2 Worth It?

Yes. Very Much. The Switch 2 isn’t just an update, it’s a fresh leap into the future of hybrid gaming. If you loved the portability of the original but hated the dated graphics or loading times, this fixes that. If you skipped the original because it didn’t feel “serious” enough for your gaming style, the Switch 2 steps up and meets you where you are.

You’re getting better frame rates, near-instant load times, improved online connectivity, and jaw-dropping visuals on a console you can toss in your backpack. It bridges the gap between handheld comfort and home-console power. No other console, not even the Steam Deck blends this level of convenience with such strong game support.

Will Switch 2 Be More Powerful Than the PS4?

Yes, in some ways, it will be. While raw horsepower may still lean in the PS4’s favor in certain scenarios, the Switch 2’s architecture uses a custom NVIDIA chip with DLSS support. That means smoother visuals, cleaner resolution, and enhanced upscaling especially when docked. In real-world terms, you’re getting graphics that hit PS4 levels while still being completely portable.

Add to that faster internal storage, and the fact that Nintendo's first-party titles are built to squeeze every ounce of power from the system, you’ve got a handheld device that punches way above its weight.

Will the Switch 2 Be OLED?

Yes, and not just any OLED — a bigger, brighter, more vibrant OLED. The screen has jumped to 7.9 inches from the original 6.2-inch LCD, and it makes a huge difference. Blacks are truly black. Colors are richer. Everything pops. Whether you’re deep in Hyrule or racing through Rainbow Road, the Switch 2's display makes it feel like you're holding a high-end gaming tablet.

OLED also means better battery efficiency and a screen that’s actually readable in sunlight.

How Long Does the Switch 2 Battery Last?

The battery life of the Switch 2 ranges from 2.5 to 7 hours, depending on the game and brightness settings. If you’re playing a heavy-hitter like Metroid Prime 4 at max brightness, you’ll get closer to the lower end. But more casual titles or power-efficient indie games? You’re good for long stretches.

Compared to the original Switch, this is roughly the same — but thanks to better power management from the new chip, performance stays consistent across the board. And yes, USB-C fast charging is supported.

Will Nintendo Switch 2 Have Bluetooth?

Yes, finally, native Bluetooth audio is here. No more dongles. No more workarounds. Just open your case, pair your AirPods, and play. The Switch 2 supports Bluetooth for headphones, speakers, and controllers, meaning your setup can be as wireless (and clean) as you want it to be.

Nintendo should’ve added this years ago, but at least they got it right this time.

When Was the Nintendo Switch 2 Released?
