Itās actually hilarious how the leaks were spot on.

Looks great. Every leak was accurate. Magnetic joycons. Larger screen. Dock.
Excited they called it Switch 2 instead of Switch U. lol.

Switch 2 and a New Mario Kart!
As someone with an original switch since 2017/2018 itās the perfect time for an upgrade!

It’s been near 11 long years, but we’re finally getting a proper new Mario Kart.

I really like this design. Very sleek. And the backwards compatibility is huge for me because my physical Switch library is pretty big.

Will play physical AND *digital* Switch games. NSO was confirmed but our entire digital library confirmed? Thatās pretty good news.Ā
āNot all games will be compatibleā is hopefully more akin to the PS5 not playing all PS4 games while Iāve never actually seen one not work. Probably just a couple rare outliersĀ

And thus all the leaks were true

3 month wait for the Direct is brutal.

Such a weird way to announce a brand new console. No fanfare or build up, just a short 2 minute teaser.

Completely identical to the leaks, even the logo, the way it sits in the dock… unbelievable how we knew nearly everything about this thing already.

I get why they call it the Switch 2, but it just feels extremely un-Nintendo to go with that naming convention
holyherbalist
They are being sneaky. Not showing the C button!
samination
is it just me, or does the asthetic of that video feel… non-nintendoish?

This probably controversial but not really fan of the joypad being plug in like that compare to the current “slide in” style
Tragic_Comic7
The video did a great job of showing the differences between the Switch 1 & 2. Definitely less confusing than when the Wii U was announced.

Woohoo looks like I wonāt need to buy new pro controllers

I already planned on buying this day one

Everyoneās excited about the switch 2 but like more importantly NEW MARIO KART!!!!
quarterslicecomics
Most of the Mario characters look about the same albeit slightly stylized, but DK has a very different face. A day or two ago, someone posted a link to a calendar with artwork of him having that new face.
Cloudinion
The controller seems to have something like a mouse sensor.Ā
Wait their was more then 12 karts on that track I think…. Going to 16 or 24 racers in a race??

All I want from this is to resolve joycon drift
Zealousideal_Rub5587
Nintendo really hammered in the āItās a different system this timeā by showing off exactly what has changed. They definitely learned from their Wii U days.
Of course price and software are more relevant to consumers. Mario Kart 9 is a solid start.

:puts away pitchfork and douses torch: sigh….
Whoa!! I honestly thought we would end up waiting much longer after it didnāt happen about 12 hours ago
Is that a new mario kart
cool, backward compatible with the switch!
Rest, weary gentlefolk. Your watch is done.
Thank christ it’s just called the Nintendo Switch 2.
IT’S NOT THAT HARD
April 2 will be the official direct.
Also confirmed it will play physical cartridges from Switch 1.
TLDR:
New Mario kart shown for 5 seconds
No new info on C button or sensors (although the button is blank in the official renders)
Direct on April 2nd
4/2/2025 for a direct? Is that April or February? š©
Switch 2: Bigger and Switchier
