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.

Nintendo recently revealed the Nintendo Switch 2. We're still waiting on details such as specifications, pricing, and availability, but we do know how it looks. One more detail has now been made public: a new mechanism for detaching the Joy-Con controllers.

With the Nintendo Switch 2 console confirmed to release in 2025, speculation about how much it will cost has already begun.

The Nintendo Switch 2 has a ton of potential, and hopefully, these sequels can take advantage of everything it has to offer.
