Count in gamer and the star of Captain Marvel, Brie Larson, as one of the many excited for the Nintendo Switch 2 following the announcement of the gaming system.

She quote posted Nintendo's Switch 2 announcement on X, formerly Twitter, to share her excitement. It sounds like she will be amongst the first to pre-order the second generation of the console.

“I’m hyperventilating,” she wrote on X. “Take my money now!!!!!”

Larson has a YouTube channel that features some gaming content. Perhaps she will begin uploading footage from her Switch 2 if she gets one.

When does the Nintendo Switch 2 come out?

The Nintendo Switch 2 is coming on Thursday, June 5, 2025, in most territories. The system costs $449 in the United States, and there will also be a Mario Kart World Bundle that costs $499.

While the system is similar to its predecessor, the Switch 2 will feature a bigger screen. The Joy-Cons will also attach magnetically to the system instead of sliding in and out. There will also be a whopping 2556GB of internal storage, meaning you can store even more games on it.
