People in London collect their long-awaited Nintendo Switch 2 console, which launched worldwide on Wednesday with stores opening at midnight to accommodate record-breaking pre-orders. While some gaming fans may be deterred by the 9.99 price tag, others are eager to experience upgrades like better graphics, more storage and the new Mario Kart World game. Analysts see the Switch 2 as a strategic shift for Nintendo, offering familiar branding with appealing improvements like more support for third-party games, which could help it compete more directly with Sony and Microsoft.
