After a string of leaks and months of speculation, Nintendo finally revealed its next hybrid console, the Nintendo Switch 2, Thursday.
In a video published on its social media channels, the Japanese company showed off a bigger, blacker, and better successor to the phenomenally successful Switch.
The Nintendo Switch 2 will be released in 2025 and run exclusive games built for the console in addition to supporting physical and digital Switch titles.
Nintendo has not yet shared technical details for the Switch 2, opting instead to show off the new hardware in the first-look trailer.
The new console's design does not stray far from the Nintendo Switch, favouring refinements over a radical departure. A lot of the changes echo what leaks and reports had predicted over the past few months.
