Nintendo has provided a detailed overview of the official Switch 2 carrying case and what Switch 2 game cards look like.
In a new video posted on the Nintendo Today app, the company showed off the carrying case, which can store the console, two Joy-Con straps, and six game cards. In this video, we also get our closest look yet at Switch 2 game cards. While they look pretty similar in size and shape to original Switch cards, they are almost entirely bright red--making them immediately visually distinct from the slate-gray cards of the previous console. You can see the video via Bluesky user OatmealDome.
The carrying case, which goes for $40 on Nintendo's store, has a flip-down flap that appears to have snug slots to hold up to six games. It also has a zipper pocket, which is shown storing Joy-Con wrist straps.
Nintendo has been steadily rolling out additional details about the upcoming console on the Nintendo Today app. Last week, for instance, we learned that Switch 2's new GL/GR buttons will be mappable on a per-game basis, providing players additional control customization in comparison to the original Switch. In addition, there are a number of helpful accessibility features coming to the new GameChat functionality.
Switch 2 launches on June 5, but preorders quickly sold out and have since been widely unavailable in the US. Nintendo has said that its higher price point may suppress early adoption, although it is still expecting to sell 15 million Switch 2 consoles in the 2026 fiscal year.
