Nintendo Switch 2 features

A new promotional video from Nintendo shows off the new console.

Although largely similar to the current Switch, it is slightly larger.

The system’s controllers, also known as Joy-Cons, attach to the side of the head unit instead of sliding in.

The Switch 2 will be able to play physical and digital games designed for the original Switch.
