Nintendo has finally revealed the Switch 2 — but it didn’t reveal everything. Even still, the new console looks pretty much like a bigger, more refined Switch. Sure, that’s the straightforward and expected move from Nintendo. But it’s also exactly what I’ve been waiting for.

The Nintendo Switch 2's specs are still a bit of a mystery, but the one official video teaser still revealed a lot.

The Nintendo Switch 2, the successor to the Nintendo Switch system, will be released in 2025. In a new promotional video, Nintendo showed off a larger version of the Switch that looks similar to its predecessor.

The Nintendo Switch 2 has been unveiled via a brief two-minute trailer (which you can watch below), and it confirms many of the rumors had been floating around. Primarily, the Switch 2 will be an evolution of its predictor, namely, this isn't a surprising generational shake-up as Nintendo has done in the past

Nintendo has been showing off the new back button of the Switch 2 Joy-Con controllers and how it works ever since the first official reveal, it's just been hiding on the official Nintendo Switch 2 website this entire time.

The Switch's producer was "particularly excited" about the idea at the time, but it didn't work well enough back then

Nintendo had the idea of using magnets to attach Joy-Cons to the original Switch, but couldn't get it to work.
