Nintendo’s Switch 2 is official. We’veseen a video reveal of the final design, teasing a more thorough announcement in April. And across the platform fence, the Steam Deck and its many imitators in the PC handheld space have never been hotter.

Nintendo sadly hasn't revealed a price for the Switch 2 yet, but there's a strong chance it'll cost under $400. While you'll want to avoid making any final spending plans until that MSRP is finally revealed, having a look at pricing history and trends from past generations can help provide a ballpark figure.

The Nintendo Switch 2 has been revealed, although the information is still thin. But there's one thing we do know: It looks like a larger version of the existing Switch. You might find it underwhelming.

The Switch 2 might not rival the Steam Deck when it comes to power in the end, but that's not what makes Ninty's latest handheld one to watch.

This is actually a feature of the Lenovo Legion Go, rather than the Steam Deck. But the Steam Deck is a better handheld than the Legion Go, and since the Switch 2’s lack of improvised mouse sensors make it worse than the Legion Go, that means it’s also worse than the Steam Deck.

The Switch 2 is unlikely to be priced any lower than $349, the current cost of an OLED Switch model. $399 seems like a safe bet — the same price as the base Steam Deck. Any more than this and Nintendo will face uncomfortable comparisons to the new wave of PC handhelds.

Nintendo finally, formally took the wraps off the Nintendo Switch 2, giving us our first official look at the new Joy-Con controllers, a new Mario Kart game, and more. But the company also gave us a glimpse at how the size compares to the older Switch system.

In a sparse teaser, Nintendo announced the Switch 2, its first major console release since the original Switch released in 2017 to huge sales.

With the Switch 2 reveal finally out for all to see we've pitted the console against its predecessor to see who comes out on top.
