國際時事跟讀VIP Ep. L009: Nintendo's Switch 2: Gaming Revolution Launches This June
Highlights 主題摘要：
Nintendo's highly anticipated Switch 2 will hit shelves on June 5 with a $449.99 price tag, marking the next chapter for the gaming giant whose original Switch has sold over 150 million units since 2017. The new console, revealed during a 60-minute Nintendo Direct presentation, brings substantial upgrades while maintaining the hybrid home-portable design that made its predecessor so successful. The Switch 2 features a larger 7.9-inch LCD screen displaying in 1080p resolution, with 4K support when docked. What truly sets this device apart, however, is its enhanced social connectivity through the new "GameChat" feature, activated via a dedicated "C" button on the redesigned Joy-Con controller, enabling players to communicate and share their game screens seamlessly.
任天堂備受期待的 Switch 2 將於 6 月 5 日上市，售價為 449.99 美元，這標誌著這家遊戲巨頭的新篇章，其前代 Switch 自 2017 年以來已售出超過 1.5 億台。這款新主機在 60 分鐘的任天堂直面會中揭露，帶來了實質性的升級，同時保留了讓前代如此成功的混合家用便攜設計。Switch 2 配備了更大的 7.9 英寸 LCD 螢幕，顯示解析度為 1080p，且在連接底座時支援 4K。然而，真正讓這款設備脫穎而出的是其增強的社交連接功能，通過重新設計的 Joy-Con 控制器上專用的「C」按鈕啟動的「GameChat」（遊戲聊天）功能，讓玩家能夠無縫地溝通並分享他們的遊戲畫面。
The launch lineup is headlined by Mario Kart World, available in a bundle package for $499.99. This latest entry in Nintendo's flagship racing series introduces innovative elements including a knockout mode and skateboard-style rail grinding while racing. The company has also announced several other exclusive titles featuring their beloved characters: Donkey Kong Bananza, a 3D adventure releasing July 17; Kirby Air Riders, a racing game coming later this year; and third-party exclusives like Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment and The Duskbloods, a baroque multiplayer title from Elden Ring creators From Software. Additionally, Nintendo Switch Online subscribers will gain access to classic GameCube titles such as The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker and F-Zero GX.
發布陣容由《瑪利歐賽車世界》（Mario Kart World）領銜，該遊戲可在 499.99 美元的套裝包中獲得。任天堂旗艦賽車系列的這一最新作品引入了創新元素，包括淘汰賽模式和賽車時滑板式的軌道滑行。該公司還宣布了幾款其他獨家遊戲，包括他們心愛的角色：《咚奇剛蕉力全開》（Donkey Kong Bananza），一款將於 7 月 17 日發布的 3D 冒險遊戲；《卡比御天飛行者》（Kirby Air Riders），一款將於今年晚些時候推出的賽車遊戲；以及第三方獨家遊戲，如《薩爾達無雙封印戰記》（Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment）和《The Duskbloods》，一款來自《艾爾登法環》（Elden Ring）創作公司（宮崎英高） From Software 的巴洛克風格多人遊戲。此外，任天堂 Switch 線上訂閱用戶將可以使用經典的 GameCube 遊戲，如《薩爾達傳說：風之律動》（The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker）和《F-Zero GX》。
One of the Switch 2's most innovative features is the ability to use Joy-Con controllers like a computer mouse, creating new gameplay possibilities demonstrated in various games, including precise club angles in golf simulations. The system offers backwards compatibility with both physical and digital Switch games, though users will need to purchase a specialized microSD express memory card, as standard microSD cards won't work with the new console. Conveniently, data from original Switch systems can be transferred directly to the Switch 2.
Switch 2 最具創新性的功能之一是能夠將 Joy-Con 控制器用作電腦滑鼠，創造了在各種遊戲中展示的新遊戲可能性，包括在高爾夫模擬遊戲中精確的球桿角度。該系統提供了對實體和數位 Switch 遊戲的向下相容性，不過用戶需要購買專用的 microSD express 記憶卡，因為標準的 microSD 卡無法與新主機一起使用。方便的是，前代 Switch 系統的資料可以直接傳輸到 Switch 2。
Industry analysts note the $449.99 price point exceeds initial projections, with some attributing this partly to current economic conditions and trade tariffs affecting imported electronics. Despite the significant increase from the original Switch's $299.99 launch price, experts anticipate a smooth transition due to evolving industry trends, including subscription services and backwards compatibility softening the upgrade path. The higher Japanese price of ¥69,980 for the international version (approximately $467) suggests Nintendo has factored tariff impacts into their pricing strategy. To build anticipation before release, Nintendo will host "Switch 2 Experience" events in major cities worldwide, giving eager players hands-on opportunities with the revolutionary new system that promises to reshape the gaming landscape once again.
業界分析師指出，449.99 美元的價格超出了初步預測，一些人將這部分歸因於當前的經濟狀況和影響進口電子產品的貿易關稅。儘管比原始 Switch 299.99 美元的發售價格有了顯著的增加，專家們預計由於行業趨勢的發展，包括訂閱服務和向後兼容性使升級路徑變得更加平緩，過渡將會順利。日本較高的價格，即國際版的 69,980 日元（約 467 美元），表明任天堂已經將關稅影響納入其定價策略。為了在發布前建立期待，任天堂將在全球主要城市舉辦「Switch 2 體驗」活動，讓熱切的玩家有機會親身體驗這個革命性的新系統，相信它將再次重塑遊戲產業。
