There have been rumours 𓆉about the Switch 2 circulating for months, but no concrete confirmation has come forth from Nintendo until now. The Switch 2 has finally been revealed, with an in-depth introduction video and details available now.
Rather than announcing the Switch 2 with huge fanfare, Nintendo America instead simply Tweeted out the video along with a link for . After months of leaks and speculation, I’m sure this alm🌸☂ost feels anticlimactic to many, but I’ll take what I can get and am excited for the reveal and more information to come.
The Switch 2 will ditch the standard colors of the Joycons, at least as standard, instead pla💙cing them on the base of the joysticks themselves. This helps to give the Switch 2 a more sleek look while retaining the same tried and beloved overall design, albeit with more curves and a mysterious additional button below the home button.
More information will be revealed during the next Nintendo Direct on April 2, but durin𝄹g the reveal trailer, it was shown that the Switch 2 will come with backward compatibility as standard, allowing you to play bot🧜h physical and digital games that are already available for the original Switch.
The connection of the Joycons will no longer rely on a slider mechanism, but rather they w🐼ill attach to the console using magnets. It remains to be seen how strong these magnets actually are𝓀, and I have fears that my Joycons may soon be flying across the room once they weaken, but I remain hopeful.
With more details coming at the next Ninte♛ndo Direct🦩 on April 2, there are also a few happening across the US for players to get their hands on the new console prior to release:
- New York (April 4 – April 6)
- Los Angeles (April 11 – April 13)
- Dallas (April 25 – April 27)
