Nintendo has finally broken its silence on theNintendo Switch 2, officially unveiling it in an online video that’s (mostly and ironically) silent.
After weeks of design leaks, the console has been shown and looks almost exactly as we’ve come to expect. It is larger than the original Switch, has what seem to be magnetic Joy-Cons that attach to either side, and comes in a cool, stealthy black colour. Only the rings around the thumbsticks and connectors sport a dash of colour this time around.

Not much more can be gleaned from the brief teaser, to be honest. And the only word on a launch date that we’ve had from Nintendo itself is that it “will be released in 2025”. However, the end of the trailer shows a date for the next major reveal, which we believe will include Nintendo Switch 2 games. That’s set for 2 April 2025.
Nintendo has also confirmed that the Switch 2 will play games that are exclusive to the platform, while the vast majority of existing Switch games will also run in backward compatibility. Some might not, however: “Certain Nintendo Switch games may not be supported on or fully compatible with Nintendo Switch 2. Details will be shared on the Nintendo website at a later date,” the company states in a press release.

As for when you can test the Nintendo Switch 2 for yourself, Nintendo will be hosting events around the world to try the next-gen console.
Fans in North America will be able to attend experiences in New York from 4 - 6 April, Los Angeles 11 - 13, plus Dallas and Toronto on 25 - 27. Londoners can see it on 11 - 13 April too, while Australian gamers will have to wait until 10 - 1 1 May to get a glimpse in Melbourne.
Considering the latest date listed – 1 June in Seoul, South Korea – it suggests the console itself won’t be available to buy until this summer.
