Nintendo has officially unveiled the Nintendo Switch 2, a follow-up to its successful Switch console, set for a 2025 release. This announcement, widely anticipated by gaming enthusiasts, came via a promotional video showcasing a larger, refreshed version of the console. Notably, the new Joy-Cons attach to the side of the main unit, a design shift from the original model, in which they slid in to the side of the console to attach.
The Switch 2 will support an array of games, including exclusive titles and both physical and digital Nintendo Switch games. However, some games from the original Switch may not be compatible. Specific details about the console remain sparse, though Nintendo promises further information during its April Nintendo Direct event. Additionally, the company announced "Nintendo Switch 2 Experience" events planned for cities like Los Angeles, New York, London, and Paris, where fans can interact with the new system.
Ticket registration for these events, scheduled to start in April, will open on Friday, offering fans a chance to engage with the cutting-edge technology firsthand. Nintendo's strategic, hands-on approach to these events indicates an eager push to bolster excitement and consumer engagement leading up to the system's launch.
