All three models will continue to be manufactured through 2026 and remain available until the deadline. Revised Switch 2 consoles with replaceable batteries will begin rolling out in summer 2026, with replacement Joy-Con 2 controllers and Pro Controllers available in winter, and Nintendo 64 and GameCube controllers in early 2027. Battery replacement kits will also be sold via the Nintendo Store in Europe. There is no functional difference between current and revised products. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
