We can practically feel the excitement radiating through the air as more details about the Nintendo Switch 2 have been announced in today’s Nintendo Switch Direct.
While we’ve known the successor to the Nintendo Switch has been coming for a while, it doesn’t make the updates any less thrilling.
In the Nintendo Switch Direct live stream (which saw over 100,000 fans tune in), we learned that Cyberpunk 2077 is coming to Nintendo Switch 2, as well as a new version of the Hitman: World of Assassination game, and — potentially most importantly — the release date, which will be 5th June 2025, with pre-orders starting from 8th April.
However, in this guide, we’re focusing on the Nintendo Switch 2 accessories, such as the dedicated Nintendo GameCube controller, which will be available at UK launch. It’s worth noting that all of these accessories will be sold separately, and pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 digital games, upgrade packs and amiibo will open on My Nintendo Store from 24th April.
So, buckle up, gamers, here’s the need-to-know information about the new accessories.

Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con 2 controller
While we were watching Nintendo Switch Direct, we kept seeing glimpses of the Joy-Con 2 controllers, so we were thrilled that Nintendo confirmed the Joy-Con 2 as the attachment mechanism; unlike the Nintendo Switch’s Joy-Con controllers, the Joy-Con 2 attachments are magnetic and can be controlled like a computer mouse.
Nintendo Switch 2 Camera
If you prefer gaming with friends and family rather than solo, you’ll be thrilled at the introduction of the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera, which lets you chat with people via video stream. The Nintendo Switch 2 Camera can be accessed via the console’s top USB Type-C port.
