News & Reviews:   Nintendo Switch 2

After a few months, the Nintendo eShop is finally having its first major digital sale in Malaysia. While the sales are only for select titles, it offers Malaysian Switch and Switch 2 gamers access to discounted games ranging from family party titles to RPGs and blockbuster releases. It has already begun on 27 May and runs until 9 June 2026, although some titles may have different ending dates depending on the promotion.

It was only a matter of time before Nintendo raised the price of the Switch 2. On its official website, the company officially confirmed a price revision for the newest console across multiple global markets, citing ongoing market condition changes and rising operational costs.

For quite a number of Pokémon fans, last year's Pokémon Legends ZA was disappointing. The game received mixed reviews, with some criticising the poor visuals, restrictive game world, and buggy gameplay. However, Pokémon Pokopia could win back some fans.

It has been a few months since the Nintendo Switch 2 was released globally. Looking forward, Nintendo has announced that it will now make the Nintendo Switch 2 its primary development platform, signalling the beginning of a transition away from the original Switch console.

Nintendo’s latest console, the Switch 2, is off to a blazing start, selling over 6 million units globally since its launch on 5 June 2025. The company confirmed the milestone in its latest earnings report, marking the Switch 2 as its fastest-selling console to date.

While the Nintendo Switch 2 is now on pre-order in Malaysia, we got another surprise, which is a Nintendo Switch App on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. But what does it do? Read below to find out more!

As we reported yesterday, it was announced that the Nintendo Switch 2 will indeed arrive in Malaysia on 3 July 2025. Official prices weren't yet clear at the time, as the Nintendo Malaysia website did not list them. However, the official Nintendo distributor, Convergent Distribution Malaysia, and other local authorised retailers have since listed them.

Nintendo has officially confirmed that the Nintendo Switch 2 will be available in Malaysia between July and September 2025. Based on international pricing, the console is expected to start at approximately RM2000. The standard model is priced at USD449.99 overseas, with regional bundle versions estimated to cost slightly more.

As expected, many would try to do some emulated games on the Nintendo Switch 2, but it seems that Nintendo was prepared for that. The company has begun permanently banning Switch?2 consoles that are used with a MiG flash cartridge.

Nintendo is about to release a new generation of game console Switch 2, and many players can't wait to play big games such as "Mario Kart World". However, the official reminds everyone - never tear off the protective film on the console screen! So, what should you know about it?
