The Nintendo Switch was such a successful console when it launched, and fans have been wondering just when Nintendo will be ready to upgrade it. For years fans have been getting buzz about the Switch 2, but now we have the official reveal.
Check this out:
Just from the video alone, it looks like the Switch 2 is going to be a bit bigger than the original Switch. Doing away with the red and blue, Nintendo is now opting for a black look with some punk and blue highlights on certain parts of the console.
The trailer also doesn’t reveal much about the hardware, but fans are expecting this thing to be at least a little more powerful than the Switch. Though it had some great exclusives, fans thought that it was still pretty limited, and it could easily get out-powered by its fellow gen consoles like the PS4 and Xbox One. Even the Steam Deck, which is also handheld, boasted the power of a tiny gaming computer.
What we do know is that backwards compatibility will be available with the Switch 2. Take note, while some Switch 1 games can be played, a select few can’t. It probably has something to do with the Switch having third-party options, but we’ll just have to wait and see until Nintendo reveals more.
Not much is known about the Switch 2 yet, but expect more to be revealed during Nintendo Direct which takes place later this year on April 2.
