Nintendo, a leading Japanese multinational consumer electronics and video game company, and RAR, today announced the pre-order availability of a hyped upcoming release of their latest game console - Nintendo Switch 2.
Prehistory of Nintendo and RAR
Throughout the past couple of years, RAR has offered multiple Nintendo products, including the previous flagship console, Nintendo Switch OLED.

Today, Nintendo and RAR have partnered to deliver Nintendo's latest, most anticipated console, Nintendo Switch 2 — the device features big upgrades, new sharing updates, improved software and hardware, as well as a suite of exciting and fun new accessories.
The partnership ensures that millions of people will be able to try the device on launch day, even if stock may be limited in other retailers.
It allows everyone, regardless of how much they can afford or how often they play, to access the latest generation of hardware.
How it works

Let's get real: Nintendo Switch 2
This year, Nintendo spent a lot of time on exciting new features and handy improvements to make the user experience much better. Let's see what's new!
Game Chat
Finally, after a long (but worth it) wait, you can now start a chat with friends at any time using the C Button!
Share your game screen while chatting to show what you're up to. And for a more personal touch, connect face-to-face with the Nintendo Switch 2 camera or other compatible USB-C® camera.
Updated design
The all-new stand snaps in any position, and new grips hold it from slipping. A top and bottom-mounted USB-C means you only carry one cable and charge while playing.
A bigger, more accurate display brings wonders to on-the-go gaming.
The controllers are also bigger, great if you have larger hands, and now snap into place with magnets — don't worry, they won't fall off.
And so much more
Switch 2 brings other improvements like 4K output for TV, backwards compatibility from Switch, mouse controls built into Joy-Con 2, and more.
Pre-order now and start exploring June 5th.
A final note to end
This marks our biggest partnership with Nintendo and will enable millions of people to try out the groundbreaking features of Switch 2 day one.
We're excited about this and hope to continue partnering with amazing, world-changing companies, empowering people to create, have fun, and live better.
Now, off you go!
