About the Nintendo Switch 2 System

The Nintendo Switch 2 is Nintendo's successor to the Switch, a hybrid console that plays on a TV through its dock or handheld on a 7.9-inch 1080p LCD screen. It adds a 4K/120 fps dock output, magnetic Joy-Con 2 controllers that work as mice in compatible games, 256GB of internal storage, and GameChat voice and video chat. It plays most original Switch games and has exclusives like Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza. At $499 at Walmart as of November 3, 2026, it sits near the top of its recent range of $300 to $520, so it is not at its cheapest.

Questions and answers

Is the Switch 2 worth $499?
If you play mostly Nintendo games and want 4K TV output plus a better handheld screen, yes. If you already own a Switch and play docked on a 1080p TV, the upgrade is less urgent.
Does it play my old Switch games?
Yes, it plays most physical and digital Switch games. Some titles get paid upgrade packs for higher resolution or frame rates, such as Tears of the Kingdom and Kirby and the Forgotten Land.
What is in the box?
The console, dock, two Joy-Con 2 controllers, Joy-Con 2 straps, an HDMI cable and a power adapter. No game is included in this console-only listing.
How much storage does it have, and can I expand it?
It has 256GB built in, expandable with microSD Express cards. Standard microSD cards are not supported for game storage.
How long does the battery last?
Nintendo rates it at roughly 2 to 6.5 hours depending on the game. Demanding titles like Mario Kart World sit near the low end.
When is it cheapest?
The lowest daily price in the recent window was $300 on October 30, 2026, against $520 on October 28. The current $499 at Walmart is near the high end, so waiting for a sale or bundle makes sense.
