Nintendo Switch 2 launched in 2025 as the successor to the original Switch, keeping the same hybrid idea — handheld, tabletop, or docked to a TV — while stepping up the screen, the processor, and the controllers. Nintendo sells it under model number BEE-001. It was built for players who outgrew the original Switch's screen and framerate but still want access to a decade of Switch software, since backward compatibility carries over. Because the library is so large and Nintendo hardware holds resale demand well after a model's active lifespan, a working Switch 2 stays worth selling rather than storing in a drawer. Pick your condition above for a live cash offer, or read how the trade-in process works if you want the details before you commit. You can also browse what else qualifies if you plan to sell a gaming console alongside it.

Confirm you have the Nintendo Switch 2

The fastest way to confirm your console is on the system itself. Go to Settings → System → System Info and check the model listed there, or look at the small engraved text near the kickstand on the back of the console, which reads the model number directly. If the console won't power on, the same number is printed on the underside of the retail box and on a label under where the dock sits when boxed.

BEE-001

  • Standard retail Nintendo Switch 2 console, sold worldwide
  • Applies to both standalone units and game bundles
  • Confirmed via Settings → System → System Info or the rear engraving

Prefer a visual check? The Switch 2 is noticeably larger than the original Switch or Switch OLED, with a wider kickstand that spans most of the back panel. Look for a USB-C port on both the top and bottom edges, and a metal magnetic rail along each side of the screen where the Joy-Con 2 attach — the original Joy-Con used a plastic sliding rail instead. If you are not certain which Nintendo handheld you own, the model finder can help narrow it down.

Core hardware

Processor & graphics

  • Custom Nvidia processor with integrated graphics
  • Supports higher framerates and resolutions than the original Switch
  • Enables docked output up to 4K on a compatible TV

Storage

  • 256GB of internal storage, soldered and not user-replaceable
  • Expandable using microSD Express cards, a new and faster format not compatible with older microSD cards
  • A full or near-full internal drive with game data preserved intact adds a little to resale appeal, though a working, erasable console matters far more than free space

Display & audio

Display

A 7.9-inch LCD screen at 1080p resolution, with support for refresh rates up to 120Hz in compatible titles. Larger and sharper than the original Switch's 6.2-inch panel, with thinner bezels around the glass.

Audio

Built-in stereo speakers tuned for handheld play, plus a 3.5mm headphone jack on the top edge. A built-in microphone supports voice chat through the GameChat feature.

Ports & connectivity

The Switch 2 keeps the cartridge slot and headphone jack from earlier models but adds a second USB-C port, which makes charging and docking more flexible.

Top edge
  • USB-C port
  • Game card slot
  • 3.5mm headphone jack
Bottom edge
  • USB-C port (charging and dock connection)
  • microSD Express card slot

Magnetic Joy-Con 2 Mouse mode controls GameChat 4K docked output Dual USB-C microSD Express storage Backward compatible with Switch games

Battery, build & more

Battery

Rated for longer handheld runtime than the original Switch, though actual time varies with screen brightness, refresh rate, and the game being played. A console that still holds a reasonable charge is worth more than one that needs to stay plugged in.

Dimensions & weight

Larger and heavier than the original Switch and the Switch OLED, with a wider chassis to match the bigger screen and the new Joy-Con 2 attachment rails.

Accessories

Ships with a dock, a pair of Joy-Con 2 controllers, a Joy-Con grip, and USB-C cabling. A separate camera accessory is sold for video GameChat and is not included by default.

Software

Runs Nintendo's updated Switch 2 system software, with GameChat, mouse-mode input for supported titles, and full access to existing Nintendo Switch software libraries and save data transfer.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I find the model number or exact configuration?
Go to Settings → System → System Info on the console itself, which lists the model directly. If the console is powered off or won't turn on, check the engraved text near the kickstand on the back panel, or the label on the retail box if you still have it. Every retail Nintendo Switch 2 uses the same model number, BEE-001, so there is no separate configuration to identify beyond confirming you have this model rather than an earlier Switch.
02 How do I tell it apart from the original Nintendo Switch or Switch OLED?
Size and the Joy-Con rail are the quickest tells. The Switch 2 is noticeably larger and heavier than either earlier model, with a wider kickstand covering most of the back. Its screen bezels are thinner and the display measures 7.9 inches versus 6.2 inches on the original Switch or 7 inches on the OLED model. Most reliably, look at the sides of the screen: the Switch 2 uses a metal magnetic rail for its Joy-Con 2 controllers, while earlier models use a plastic sliding rail. A second USB-C port on the top edge is unique to the Switch 2 as well.
03 Can I sell it with damage, like a cracked screen, drifting Joy-Con, or a console that won't turn on?
Yes, condition options above cover functional issues including a cracked or damaged screen, Joy-Con drift, battery problems, and a console that won't power on at all. Your quote adjusts to reflect the condition you select. Before shipping, you do need to unlink your Nintendo Account from the console and remove it as a registered device, the same way you would sign out of an iCloud or Google account on other hardware. A console still tied to an active Nintendo Account can't be resold or reset by the next owner.
04 What raises the trade-in value the most?
Completeness and working condition matter most. Including the original dock, both Joy-Con 2 controllers, the Joy-Con grip, and the charging cable moves the offer up more than any single spec. Beyond that, a screen free of cracks or deep scratches, Joy-Con sticks with no drift, and a battery that still holds a reasonable charge all count in your favor. If your unit is missing parts or you're unsure how it should be classified, a custom quote request is worth submitting before you ship anything.
05 How do I erase it and remove my account, and how do I get paid?
First unlink your Nintendo Account: go to Settings → Users, select your profile, and remove or deactivate the linked account. Then go to Settings → System → Formatt System Memory and confirm, which erases all save data, screenshots, and settings from the console. Do this even if you plan to keep your games in the cloud, since the next owner needs a clean system. Once that's done, pack the console using our free, insured shipping label. We test it on arrival and pay by PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or check. Full erasure steps and what we check for are covered in our data erasure protocols.
