Please add the generation the Nintendo Switch 2 is in after the row named „Type”, for this console is in the 9th video game console generation and it's not specified. TcHM07 (talk) 13:12, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want made. No reliable news sources have covered whether the Switch 2 is part of the ninth generation; therefore, we can’t add it to the article. Given that it wasn’t covered during the console’s launch, it’s more and more unlikely it will be covered at all. GSK 13:21, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

2K, one of the top 10 game publishers, refers to Switch 2 as a 9th gen console. Their FAQ states that NBA 2K27 is not available for 8th gen consoles, but is available for Switch 2, PS5 and Xbox series.

that page doesn't say anything about generations. Masem (t) 16:08, 22 July 2026 (UTC)

Yes, it does, “No, NBA 2K27 will only be available on Gen 9 platforms,” and Nintendo Switch 2 is one of the platforms NBA 2K27 will be released on. ~2026-41771-57 (talk) 20:00, 27 July 2026 (UTC)

Change 'According to Niles Mitchell on YouTube, an iPhone is compatible as a camera.' to 'With a USB-C to HDMI capture card, a phone can be used as a camera' -iluvwkipedia (talk) 15:31, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

 Not done - You've got to provide the source itself in edit requests, and usually YouTubers aren't going to be a usable source per WP:RSPYT. Sergecross73 msg me 16:02, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

There is no reference on the stat of the CPU speed(s) being different between docked and undocked, and either a reference should be added, a citation needed should be added, or the stat should be removed. VivianIsBee (talk) 01:52, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

Correction

"Some game "key" cards contain no game content and require players to download the game via an internet connection."

There is an actual term for this kind of card, Game-Key Card. This isn't something that should be put in quotes, it's the actual name of the product. ~2026-27261-37 (talk) 17:01, 25 June 2026 (UTC)

Not fixed: The use of quotes to describe it in the lead is acceptable since it's not a common or colloquial term. It is referred to more in-depth in the body, and the use of quotes to refer to its proper name in the body after having described its function is also an acceptable form of grammar. I see no reason to change either of them. GSK 17:23, 25 June 2026 (UTC)

The Nintendo Switch 2 is a video game console developed by Nintendo and released in most regions in 2025. The successor to the Nintendo Switch, it retains the earlier console's hybrid design, allowing it to be used as a handheld device or connected to an external display. It features a 7.9-inch (20 cm) liquid-crystal display, increased processing power and storage, and redesigned controllers. This photograph shows a pair of Joy-Con 2 controllers detached from the console. They feature redesigned shoulder buttons, analog sticks and magnetic attachment mechanisms, which replace the original Switch's rail system. The controllers can also function as computer mice by sliding them across a surface.
