The gaming powerhouse Nintendo unveiled its latest console on Thursday in an eagerly awaited announcement that gamers had been anticipating since rumors of its launch began circulating years ago.
The Nintendo Switch 2, the successor to the original Nintendo Switch system, is set for a 2025 release, according to the company.
In a recent promotional clip, Nintendo displays a larger iteration of the Switch that resembles its forerunner. The clip also highlights the console’s controllers, or Joy-Cons, which now attach to the sides of the main device instead of sliding in.
The Nintendo Switch 2 will feature exclusive games specifically for it, in addition to supporting both physical and digital Nintendo Switch titles. However, some Nintendo Switch games may not be compatible or fully functional on the Nintendo Switch 2, the company stated.
The announcement lacked specific details about the console or an exact release date. The firm assures that additional information regarding the system will be released during the upcoming Nintendo Direct event in April. The Kyoto-based game developer indicated it will also conduct “Nintendo Switch 2 Experience” events in various countries, offering players a chance to experience the new console firsthand.
These events are scheduled for locations such as Los Angeles, New York, London, and Paris, commencing in April. Ticket registration for these events will open on Friday, Nintendo mentioned.
