Just last month, Nintendo officially unveiled the Nintendo Switch 2. This reveal came after a flurry of rumors, supposed leaks, and lots of chatter about what the successor to their beloved portable home console would bring.

A brief reveal video gave us a sneak peek at the design of the console, hinted at a brand-new Mario Kart game, and reassured us that the console will be backwards compatible with the original Nintendo Switch. This compatibility is major news for those with extensive game libraries.

Nintendo has also detailed that the Nintendo Switch 2 will support both physical and digital Nintendo Switch games. However, they have cautioned that a few games from the original Switch might not perform as expected or could be incompatible with the new system.

While a specific release date hasn’t been locked in yet, the Nintendo Switch 2 is slated for a global launch sometime in 2025. Keep your eyes peeled for further announcements.
