As a passionate gamer, I’ve always been inspired by Satoru Iwata, the late President of Nintendo, who left us in 2015, right before the original Switch hit the market. Iwata envisioned a chip that would offer cinematic and seamless performance, yet be portable enough to take gaming anywhere. NVIDIA has been striving to realize this dream ever since. Now, with the arrival of the Switch 2, we’re taking another significant step towards fulfilling that promise. The heart of the Switch 2 is a chip equipped with AI processors that can sharpen, animate, and enhance gameplay in real-time, as I see it.

On June 5th, the anticipated release of the Nintendo Switch 2 will occur, driven by NVIDIA’s latest technology. In anticipation of an onslaught of news, keep a close eye on Shacknews and our coverage of the Switch 2 for additional details and updates.
