Contrasting with the prior model, it is said that the Joy-Con controllers of Switch 2 snap onto the side of the primary unit rather than sliding into slots, for better integration and a more robust assembly.
The Nintendo Switch 2 will support games that are available physically and digitally in the original Nintendo Switch library as well as have its own exclusive titles. Nintendo, however, warns that some original Switch games will not work completely on the new console.
The company did not give specific technical specifications or a date for its release, but it promised more information in April during the Nintendo Direct event. In addition, Nintendo announced a series of “Nintendo Switch 2 Experience” events that will let fans play the console before its release. These events are scheduled to be held in cities like Los Angeles, New York, London, and Paris starting in April.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is the next step in the company’s innovative gaming journey, combining the familiar with new features that will make the gaming experience even better. With limited information available, gamers around the world are eagerly waiting for further announcements.
