Nintendo's early morning announcement gives us a sneak peek at the Switch 2. Here's what it confirmed, plus the rumors still swirling around the new console.

Though Nintendo has a history of discontinuing its older consoles without missing a beat, there's reason to believe this won't happen with the Switch.

Nintendo has said that some of its existing Switch games might not be compatible with Nintendo Switch 2, but which ones?

This is a very safe bet, as Nintendo has prior form here. You might recall that the Nintendo Switch was first revealed in a roughly three and a half minute trailer that showed it in use in various settings like a home, an airport, and even in the back of a car.

The Switch 2 announcement contained precious little real information. The new machine will seemingly function much like the original: a hybrid device operating as both portable and console. Nintendo’s showcase video depicts an original Switch morphing into a slightly larger, somewhat more grown-up and less colourful Switch 2 model.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is coming in 2025. Here are all of the confirmed details, rumors and speculation regarding the upcoming console.

The Switch 2 exists. We know that for sure. It’s bigger — seems like we know that too. But what else do we know about the sequel to one of Nintendo’s most innovative and best-selling consoles? Maybe not as much as you might think.
