Nintendo has officially confirmed that in the coming months it will release a revised model of the Switch 2<\/a> with a removable battery. This model, initially only available in Europe, aims to comply with current European regulations that state that all electronic devices must have replaceable batteries starting February 18, 2027<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A more eco-friendly console<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is a necessary move by Nintendo, as they wouldn’t be able to sell the console any other way, but it’s a bit clumsy. Although the regulation will not come into effect until February of next year, it was approved in 2023, which means that by the time of <\/strong>the Nintendo Switch 2’s release, they were already aware<\/a> of this regulation and had no reason to release a version of the console without a removable battery in the first place<\/strong>, complicating their production tasks even further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
