The Nintendo Switch 2 is expected to arrive with upgraded features, like an overall bigger size with a larger LCD touchscreen, Joy-Con controllers, and a kickstand. It will be backward compatible so current Nintendo Switch 1 owners can play most of their own games when they upgrade to the Nintendo Switch 2.

There's little doubt the Switch 2 is going to be the hottest hardware this year. After years of rumors, Nintendo officially revealed its newest console on Thursday morning, and a lot of Nintendo fans are excited to get their hands on it, which means preorders will likely be hard to come by.

The Switch 2 might not be a radical reinvention of what came before, but Nintendo’s new hardware does sport some unique quirks, distinguishing it from the original handheld hybrid that arrived back in 2017.
