Nintendo has finally revealed the Switch 2 — but it didn’t reveal everything. Even still, the new console looks pretty much like a bigger, more refined Switch. Sure, that’s the straightforward and expected move from Nintendo. But it’s also exactly what I’ve been waiting for.

Nintendo has finally announced its successor to the Nintendo Switch, the Nintendo Switch 2. In a video, below, Nintendo showed off the functionality of the next-gen console in vague terms, with a tease of more information to come via a Nintendo Direct dated April 2.

Nintendo already has a date for the Switch 2-focused Direct, but it's possible there will be another one sooner than we think

Nintendo has finally lifted the curtain on its next console. Officially named the Nintendo Switch 2, the long-awaited Nintendo Switch successor is officially set to launch in 2025. Here's the most important information that we learned from the reveal.

Yooka-Replayee is also slated to launch on Switch 2 (although there’s no telling if it’ll be there at launch) while a sort of Diablo-like game about catching and leveling monsters in Synth Beasts could help cover any potential Pokemon -shaped holes in the lineup.
