The Switch 2 is the latest version of the original Switch, which was released in 2017. Given the fact that Nintendo hadn't released a new Switch for eight years, expectations were high. The Switch 2 won't be released until June 5, but Mashable's Alex Perry (who got early access) said those high expectations were firmly met.

Nintendo shared major updates to the gaming console including more horsepower, features for live-gaming with friends, and Joy-Cons that also work as computer mice. Pre-orders alone crashed retailer sites in April, and the Switch 2 completely sold out. Even with the $449.99 price tag, people really seem to want it.

Thankfully, the Switch 2 will be restocked, partly thanks to this new Samsung partnership.
