Nintendo's forthcoming Switch 2 revision will introduce user-replaceable batteries, a significant shift from the current model, which has a glued-in battery design.
This change is expected to improve the device's longevity and reduce electronic waste, aligning with broader industry trends toward sustainability.
The revised Switch 2 is anticipated to launch in the European Union on March 20, 2026, according to reports from Nikkei.
