Now Playing: Nintendo Switch 2 – Official System Overview Trailer

Button mappings can be set from the quick settings menu, opened by holding down the Home button from within a game. Any mappings will be saved automatically and persist across gameplay sessions.

The GL/GR buttons are only available on the new Joy-Con 2 charging grip and the Pro Controller, both of which are sold separately from the Switch 2 console. The charging grip will run you $40, while the Pro Controller costs $84.

The Switch 2, meanwhile, launches on June 5, but preorders are still widely unavailable in the United States. If you managed to snag a preorder, take a look at all of the Switch 2 games that are confirmed and rumored so far. The console costs $450--a substantial increase over the original Switch--which Nintendo has acknowledged may suppress early adoption. In addition, while the Switch 2 looks on face to be pretty similar to its predecessor, Nintendo claims that it has built the hardware from the ground up.
