Nintendo's highly anticipated Switch 2 is officially on its way! This article breaks down everything revealed in the first-look trailer.
The trailer highlighted a larger display, a wider, more stable kickstand, and magnetically connecting Joy-Cons—a departure from the original's rails. A new USB-C port on the console itself was also confirmed.
Crucially, Nintendo confirmed backward compatibility. Players can enjoy both physical and digital Nintendo Switch games, although some titles may have limited or no support on the Switch 2. Specific unsupported titles will be detailed on the Nintendo website at a later date. Nintendo Switch Online functionality will also carry over.
While no exclusive titles were officially announced, the trailer hinted at a new Mario Kart installment (potentially Mario Kart 9), and rumors suggest Gotham Knights may be coming to the Switch 2. Confirmation on these and other titles is promised during a dedicated Nintendo Direct on April 2, 2025.
For hands-on experience before launch, Nintendo is hosting "Nintendo Switch 2 Experience" events in major cities worldwide.
