The Modern/Current Era · 2012–today
Nintendo Switch 2
Sought After?
Brand new, so not a collector item yet, though launch-year limited editions (Mario Kart World bundle) may become desirable over time the way original Switch launch bundles have.
Downsides
Priced noticeably higher than the original Switch at launch, and initial supply was tight through most of 2025.
Why It Faded
It hasn't — this is Nintendo's current flagship, and as of mid-2026 it is reportedly the fastest-selling console of all time, having passed nearly 20 million units in under a year on the market.
Trivia
The Switch 2 launched with Mario Kart World bundled in for many buyers, making it one of the best-selling pack-in games in console history within months of release.
