The Nintendo Switch 2 is expected in France on June 5, 2025, and pre-orders have been available for several weeks now. As a reminder, the console alone can be purchased for €469.99, while the bundle with Mario Kart World costs €509.99, knowing that these are the maximum recommended prices. This means that retailers cannot go beyond this amount; however, they can offer cheaper deals, and this is already happening before the launch.
The Nintendo Switch 2 reinforces its portable dimension
The Nintendo Switch 2 presentation was an opportunity for the Japanese manufacturer to answer the many questions from interested players about the release date, the price of the console, the launch games and even new features like the Joy-Con 2. Larger, more ergonomic controllers for a better grip, with a magnetic system to connect them to the machine, which can be transformed into a mouse for certain titles like the highly anticipated Metroid Prime 4 Beyond.
There is also a whole additional social aspect with the arrival of GameChat which allows you to share your gaming sessions with your friends in different ways. Today, the Nintendo Switch 2 unveils a feature that can change everything for the lifespan of your console in portable mode. In the settings, it will be possible to activate a battery option to "Stop charging at 90%." If you have a recent smartphone, like a Google Pixel, this is not new. But it is good to see that Big N has thought of this feature with a view to preserving the Nintendo Switch 2's battery as best as possible in the long term.
Thus, even after several years, the Nintendo Switch 2's battery should last longer since its deterioration will be slowed. The Japanese manufacturer has chosen to incorporate a 5220 mAh lithium-ion battery, which allows sessions estimated between 2 and 6.5 hours. A battery life that depends above all on the games launched. A Cyberpunk 2077 will consume much more than an independent production in pixel art, for example. But this is the case for all devices, especially PCs / portable consoles, and the Nintendo Switch 2 is no exception to the rule.
