NINTENDO SWITCH 2 SETS RECORD, SELLING OVER 3.5 MILLION UNITS GLOBALLY IN FIRST FOUR DAYS

In the four days following its 5^th June launch, Nintendo Switch 2 sold more than 3.5 million units worldwide, becoming the fastest-selling Nintendo hardware ever globally*¹.

Nintendo Switch 2 features a larger, vivid screen capable of full 1080p high-definition display (and 4K when connected to a compatible TV or monitor), a faster processor that allows for enhanced graphics and gameplay performance, and redesigned magnetic Joy-Con 2 controllers with mouse functionality. The system also debuts the new GameChat feature, where players can voice or video chat and share game screens with friends online, bringing the feeling of playing together in the same room even if their friends and family are miles away.

“In addition to upgraded features, Nintendo Switch 2 offers new ways for people to connect and play together,” said Takuro Horie, Managing Director of Nintendo Australia. “We are grateful for the response it has already received, and we hope players will continue to enjoy the new experiences offered.”

Nintendo Switch 2 launched alongside Mario Kart World. Featuring a series-first interconnected world where you can drive virtually anywhere (including across cities, plains, a desert and even the ocean), Mario Kart World includes dynamic weather conditions, new game modes, and up to 24 drivers at once – the most in series history.

And next month, a brand-new 3D platforming game starring Donkey Kong will make its debut exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2. Donkey Kong Bananza will let players unleash their inner Kong as they smash and bash their way through a wild, mayhem-packed action adventure, launching 17^th July.
