Nintendo unveils the Switch 2: backwards compatible, bigger screen, new Mario Kart
In a teaser video online, Nintendo officially confirmed the Nintendo Switch 2 console coming this year. Here's what we know.
Rumours about the Nintendo Switch 2 being announced this week turned out to be true. In a "first-look trailer" posted to YouTube, Nintendo unveiled a detailed, close up look at the upcoming games console.
What's clear from the video (and also from the name) is that this is definitely a sequel to Nintendo's massively successful Switch console. There's no outrageous pivot to some other gaming mechanism here: The Switch 2 is a handheld console with a dock that allows you to play it on the big screen.
There are no detailed specifications to look through yet. What we can see from the trailer is that the Switch 2 has a larger display, a freshly designed kickstand, magnetically attached Joy-Con controllers and a new button underneath the Home button on the right Joy-Con.
