Switch and Switch 2

What the store page actually says

The official FAQ names Nintendo Switch 1 and 2. The Switch product URL includes a Switch 2 compatibility note: supported, with behavior consistent with Nintendo Switch. A separate Switch 2 product URL also exists. The Switch 2 URL identifies its system as Nintendo Switch 2 and lists 120 Hz output among supported features on compatible TVs; its estimated file sizes still differ from the Switch listing. This feature listing is not a measured frame-rate guarantee.

Player count is a single system, one player. Touch controls are supported. Nintendo Account family lending and cloud saves are listed. Languages on that page are Japanese, English (UK and US), French, German, Italian, Spanish, Korean, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Brazilian Portuguese, and Polish — twelve in the store's own grouping.

A sale end of 18 November 2026 at 07:59 UTC was on the page during the 12 November check. Price in other currencies belongs on the price page; the peso and other regional tags were not all captured.
