Nintendo just released the first look for the Switch 2, the successor to the Nintendo Switch.
Not much details are available as of now. From the video, we can tell that there will be a bigger screen with new Joy-Cons that seems to be attached to the Switch 2 using magnets. There is a new button below the home button. Not sure what exactly is that button for.
And perhaps the biggest news is that the Nintendo Switch 2 is backwards compatible and able to play Nintendo Switch games. However, they do have a disclaimer saying that certain Switch games may not be supported or fully compatible. I’m guessing they are referring to games like Labo and Ring Fit Adventure. We will have more details at a later date.
More information will be available on 2 April 2025 during the Nintendo Direct. Nintendo will also hold Nintendo Switch 2 Experience events for consumers to try out the Nintendo Switch 2. Unfortunately, Singapore is not one of the countries.
Coming in 2025. Stay tuned.
