Nintendo Switch 2 announced by Nintendo



After months of countless leaks, Nintendo has finally lifted the curtain on the highly anticipated successor to the Nintendo Switch.

In a short teaser trailer we are given a brief look the new system unsurprisingly titled the Nintendo Switch 2. We also get a glimpse at a new Mario Kart game running on the system and confirmation of backwards compatilbility with Nintendo Switch software and game cards.

We also see the new joycons being pushed along like a traditional computer mouse, further fueling the rumor that the joycons will support a "mouse mode".

Alongside the new trailer, a Nintendo Direct focused on Switch 2 has also been announced for April 2nd.

What the hell is wrong with most of you? Seven years now, a lot of you bitched, moaned, and complained about how underpowered the Switch was, leaks come out about the Switch 2's hardware (the leaks ruining the impact already period), allegedly being more powerful, yet that absolutely doesn't seem to matter to anyone, even though many of you wanted that. You then proceed to literally push the announcement off like it's nothing, and proceed to bitch about it being another Switch, even though many of you if not everyone wanted Nintendo to announce something about their successor hardware. I swear, how can anyone sensible live this depressingly, always complaining about something, nothing ever just being enough, what a boring and dull lifestyle. Maybe consider reevaluating your life or something, because there is something seriously wrong with this picture, mentally especially so.

Nintendo is going to do shit we won't like, but good gosh man, you expect them to do so much, then spit in their face when they offer something of the sorts that might be enjoyable in some capacity. No company is perfect, and quite frankly most of them are not the most consumer friendly anyways, that's reality. Shit fire though, you guys must be real fun at parties, I feel pretty bad for the party hosts for that kind of drag.

You wanted a more powerful Switch, stop your damn whining, you got what you wanted.

It took me many times watching the trailer to realize that both joy cons have a "laser" in the middle for the possible mouse mode. I really hope for some RTS games and maybe we get some mario paint. Also it will be painful to hold that small joycon. I wished. They woulgd gave made the joy cons a bit thicker but i guess i have to find a third party accessory for it. It is longer but i think the buttons will still be small af sadly. I'm happy it is everything that got leaked.

lots of hate for the Switch 2 here,
but not surprising, just as I expected for the most toxic community to ever walk this earth (aka Switch homebrew community).
Y'all can go on hating on the Switch 2 while I will pre-order it the second it goes live

Well, some people were hating on the Switch at reveal too, so this isn't really that surprising.

Switch hate is relative .... Prefer it as Nintendon't hate ... Because they fuck every time there fans ... because they are so fucking retarded and don't sell on other platforms like the PC .... Much more people would buy the games there too ... not really many games why i would personaly buy a console/handheld. Buy a console/handheld for 10 games maybe would be just stupid.

To be fair, they didn't do anything in the trailer to demonstrate how much of a performance/fidelity upgrade Switch 2 will be, which is a big mistake when that's supposed to be its main selling point. Perhaps they really didn't intend to reveal it in January, and hastily threw together this teaser solely in reaction to the leaks.

I kind of have a feeling like that with this first trailer. The original switch trailer was pretty much a perfect advertisement, showing many different ways the system can be used and many different kinds of people playing different kinds of games on it. This one feels like it's just showing off what the system looks like to those who already know what a Nintendo Switch is, and not really doing much in terms of advertising and convincing people to buy it.

At least the name does make it clear that this is a successor.

It remains to be seen how the marketing department will continue with the Switch 2.

Yes at least there's a 2 in there.

I do hope they do better marketing than they did with the Wii U.

This trailer was a demo for the demo in the wild 😂 it would have been nice to see the specs but word on the street Big N was not planning for this and are ready to deploy the ninjas 🥷 now .

So far can't wait to see the specs and launch games hoping for a Ocarina of Time remake 🤞 8yrs have close to 300gms can't wait to add another stockpile of gms to my physical collection

I was thinking subpar ps4, but seeing how thin it is, likely just a beefed up switch.

Question is, if ryu shut down and now nintendo admits emulation isn't illegal, have they got that dev to make its emulator for switch.

Or will it be basically same os and mig work on it.

If that's likely, then its a opening for exploits if a custom flash card can exploit the system in any form.

After all we know how much nintendo earn in lost damages when they release its games to get leaked so early.
