The Nintendo Switch 2 has officially become the fastest-selling Nintendo device ever worldwide, breaking all previous records. The console was launched on June 5.

You can't simply go to the My Nintendo Store and buy the Switch 2. To order the Switch 2, you need to log in with an active, paid Nintendo Switch Online account. Once you do that, you can choose either a Switch 2 standalone console or the Mario Kart World bundle and then hit the confirm button to "register your interest" in ordering a Switch 2.

Nintendo says only USB-C cameras are compatible with the new Switch 2, but many users have found evidence to the contrary.

While a Switch 2 Pro controller costs $85, third-party devices are often much more affordable. Gizmodo received a bounty of controllers from multiple manufacturers for review, including several devices from 8BitDo and Gulikit specifically to test them on the Switch 2.

In the four days following its June 5 launch, the Nintendo Switch 2 game system sold more than 3.5 million units worldwide1, becoming the fastest-selling

After a long wait filled with leaks, reveals, preorder stress, and hands-on events, the Nintendo Switch 2’s launch day has finally arrived around the world, including launch events at retailers like Walmart, GameStop, Best Buy, and Target.
