The Nintendo Switch 2 game console will be officially launched soon on June 5, 2025, but it has been shown that there are those who have already received the console early. Interestingly, the console is "unplayable" for now. So, what should you know about it?
For your information, the console, which was launched in the Japanese and US markets first, appears to have seen some buyers receive their consoles earlier than many others. According to those who have already received orders for this console, they say that for now, the console is "locked" and requires a software update that will be released on the first day of the console's launch before it can be played.

This seems to be a way for Nintendo to ensure that those who receive the console early don't leak any details they don't want to see until the console's launch day next week. To recap, the Nintendo Switch 2 will be launched on June 5, 2025, for the United States and Japanese markets, and around July to September for the Malaysian market.
