Snag a Nintendo Switch 2 for only $469 while stock lasts — $30 off a system that's not often on sale

Attention gamers, the Nintendo Switch 2 is now available for purchase at a discounted price of $469.99 at Woot. This price represents a $30 reduction from the original $499 price tag, which was only a couple of months ago. This limited-time offer is expected to run out soon, so interested buyers should act quickly to secure their console.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is an upgraded version of its predecessor, offering enhanced features and superior performance. Like the first model, it can be used as a handheld device, a tablet, or connected to a TV or monitor using a dock. However, the Switch 2 boasts significant improvements in its central processing unit (CPU), with an upgraded eight-core Cortex A78C silicon clocked at up to 1,101 MHz, compared to the four-core Cortex A57 cores in the first version.

In addition to the enhanced CPU, the Switch 2 features an Nvidia Ampere-based GPU with 1,536 CUDA cores, capable of processing up to 3 TFLOPS in docked mode. This results in a substantial performance boost, enabling ray-traced games, 4K gameplay, and variable refresh rates up to 120 Hz, along with DLSS upscaling. The console also boasts a larger and brighter display with HDR support, measuring 7.9 inches across without bezels.

Other notable upgrades include Wi-Fi 6 support, a built-in Ethernet port on the dock, 3D audio, and a built-in microphone. The Switch 2 is backward-compatible with the majority of Switch 1 games, allowing gamers to continue playing their existing library while also benefiting from the enhanced capabilities of the new console. This deal presents an excellent opportunity for those looking to enter the portable gaming market or upgrade from the previous generation model.
