This June, gamers will have to add one more new console to the gaming rotation. The Nintendo Switch 2 is poised to deliver even more Nintendo goodness, featuring improved performance and even better games. While it has a global release date of June 5, certain territories, including Southeast Asia, are still unclear about when the console will arrive. Now, we have the answer: the Nintendo Switch 2 arrives in Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines on June 26.

This will see about a two-week-long delay from other regions like North America, Europe, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Japan. However, it is definitely better than the original window, which stretched to September. The new detail comes via the Nintendo Singapore website, which now boasts the release date front and centre.

Aside from the console, there is also the coming of official Nintendo Switch Online support for the countries above. This will be very helpful in curating your digital library within your home region, rather than relying on accounts registered for the US or Hong Kong markets.

Nintendo has also preempted the launch of the console with a significant update to its mobile app. Connectivity between the app and the Nintendo Switch 2 will enable useful features like screenshot and video sharing, GameChat support, and even additional features to help during gameplay.

While this is good news for fans in the three territories, those in Taiwan will have to wait until July 10, but Malaysia remains unaccounted for. We will likely see more news on that front soon enough, but for those looking forward to the Nintendo Switch 2 over there, the painful wait continues.

For those who have pre-ordered or are looking to, it is also critical to consider the games that you can play on launch day. This includes the likes of:
