Nintendo has released a trailer finally announcing the Switch 2. The trailer, which starts out by showing us the original Switch, gradually transforms the console into the Switch 2. Check it out below.Going by the trailer, the Nintendo Switch 2 has a new design with more rounded edges. The trailer also showcases new hardware features, like the new kickstand which allows for the console to be laid down at a greater angle than its predecessor.The JoyCons also have a new mechanism to connect to the Switch 2, making use of a new connector that plugs directly into the JoyCons for charging purposes. There is also a new trigger mechanism to disconnect the JoyCons from the main body of the Switch 2. And finally, the right JoyCon features an additional button, the details of which are currently unknown.When it comes to visual design, the Nintendo Switch 2 will be completely black, aside from a few colours to accentuate accents. The colours are only present on the JoyCons, with the left one featuring blue accents, and the right one featuring orange accents around the edges and bordering the analogue sticks.The trailer also gives us a quick glimpse at the new dock for the Switch 2, which features rounded corners at the top, and a lower-profile design where more of the console will be visible when placed in the dock. Much like the original Switch, the Switch 2 will also feature an attachment that will allow players to use the JoyCons as a singular controller for docked gaming.According to the official website, the Nintendo Switch 2 will be fully backwards compatible with its predecessor, with physical and digital copies of Switch games running seamlessly on the new console.More details about the Nintendo Switch 2 are slated to be revealed during a planned Nintendo Direct on April 2, which will give us a more in-depth look at the console and its capabilities. Along with the Direct, Nintendo has also announced an event in London that will take place between April 11 and April 13, where the company will allow users to get some hands-on time with the Switch 2.It is worth noting that, despite finally giving us a look at the Switch 2, Nintendo hasnt yet announced any games for the console, which lines up with previously-reported rumours that indicated that this announcement would be primarily focused on the hardware of the Switch 2.Other companies, however, are rumoured to already be working on games for the Switch 2. Ubisoft, for instance, is rumoured to have more than six ports for some of its more recent titles, including Assassins Creed Mirage and the upcoming Assassins Creed Shadows, in the works. Switch 2 ports of visually impressive titles, like Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth, and Flight Simulator 2024 are also rumoured to be in development.In the mean time, players might want to get ready with new accessories for the Switch 2, since it appears to feature different dimensions from the original. The new console is also rumoured to need a higher-voltage charger for docked gaming.
