The long wait is finally over. In a YouTube video with little fanfare, Nintendo officially introduced the long-awaited Switch 2. The first true next-gen follow-up to the original Switch includes backwards-compatibility for owners of existing Switch hardware and we'll learn more about the console in a Nintendo Direct presentation on April 2,

Nintendo has finally revealed the Switch 2 console in a trailer showing off the handheld. Of course, many fans already knew details about the console due to leaks leading up to the reveal, but it's nice to see the console's final design from the source.

It’s finally time: after months of teases and rumors, Nintendo has finally revealed the successor to the Switch. A new console generation is always a big deal, but this is an especially pivotal one for Nintendo.

Nintendo Co. said it will reveal the next-generation Switch 2 on April 2, setting in motion the retirement of the nearly eight-year-old flagship model.

The console looks a lot like the original, but in the video, the Joy-Con controllers are black with colored accents. There’s also a new button under the home button on the right Joy-Con, which had shown up in leaks. The video also appears to show the Joy-Cons being used similarly to a mouse.

Nintendo just revealed the Nintendo Switch 2 on its official YouTube channel. The video, titled “An update from Nintendo,” shows a full render with all of the changes to the new hardware. A full Nintendo Direct for the Switch 2 is scheduled for February 2.

Japanese video game company Nintendo will launch the Switch 2 console, successor to its hit Switch device, this year, it said on Thursday.

Nintendo's announcement for the release date of the Nintendo Switch 2 has been seemingly confirmed by Walmart.
