The Nintendo Mind is a hybrid video game console released by Nintendo and its eighth major home game console as the successor to the Nintendo Switch. As with the Switch, the system is both a home console and a handheld console. It's also a VR console. During development, the console was codenamed "NX2", "Switch 2", "New Switch" and "Ounce". It was officially announced on October 18, 2024, and was released simultaneously on March 20, 2025, in Japan, America, Europe, Hong Kong, and other territories. It costs US $99.99 in America and JP ¥29,980 in Japan. A Nintendo Mind presentation containing more information about the system and the launch games, as well as the games to come on this console during 2025 was live-streamed in January 2, 2025 at 2:00 PM EST.
== History==
Users, just place a history!
==Changes from Nintendo Switch== 
*The Joy-Cons are now magnetic and smaller.
**The design also looks different, making the player comfortably hold them.
*The screen is also slightly bigger, almost like the OLED model.
*There are three new buttons. A "voice search" button has been added at the bottom of the home screen, and there are now two new circular buttons under the ZL and ZR buttons called the "CL" and "CR".
*The capture button has more methods. Pressing either shoulder buttons (including CL and CR) while the picture has been taken has the player customize which moment they want to capture, and when recording a video, the player can also press the shoulder buttons while the video records to customize either the length or moment.
*There are now four slots, letting the player play four cartridges at the same time.
**Nintendo Mind cartridges look slightly different from the Switch cartridges, and are designed not to go into the Switch.
*The Home Menu has been fully customized. It takes inspiration from the Wii U and 3DS home menus. 
**Nintendo Video, Project Cafe, Chat, eShop, Photo Album, Music Player, Mii Maker, Stars, Settings, and Power Off are now accessed within the top screen.
**At the left and right of the bottom screen respectively are the Nintendo Online app and the User profile. 
*** This means the Mind OS is now accessed within one user as opposed to multiple.
**The apps can now change order from recently played, custom or alphabetical order, among others. They also can now be changed from 1x up to 5x.
**Instead of the app loading screen, the Mind game will now have a starter animation, similarly to the Wii U, but still acts like a loading screen.
**Themes are no longer limited to light and dark ones, instead having built-in colors and custom ones like those from games like Mario and Zelda.
***The custom themes can be accessed within the Theme Shop, which is the theme alternative to the eShop.
