Now that one rumored Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con feature seems to be confirmed, the console just needs a specific companion peripheral to go with it.

This rumor looks to be real, but what a weird decision

The announcement doesn't come as a surprise—especially in the wake of CES 2025, where several peripheral makers were bold enough to display replicas of the unrevealed hardware to showcase their Switch 2 accessories—but you might be shocked at just how closely the upcoming Switch 2 sticks to the form and function of its predecessor.

Nintendo finally reveals the Switch 2, and the trailer seems to confirm new Joy-Con functionality that many leaks and theories have suggested.

We picked through Nintendo's teaser trailer frame by frame to find every hidden detail about the upcoming Switch 2 console.

It’s finally time: after months of teases and rumors, Nintendo has finally revealed the successor to the Switch. A new console generation is always a big deal, but this is an especially pivotal one for Nintendo.

Nintendo released the first trailer for the Nintendo Switch in 2016. The roughly three-and-a-half-minute-long video focused largely on people playing the console in different scenarios in the real world.

Nintendo has finally revealed the Switch 2, its next-gen console due out at some point in 2025. While the reveal video confirms the high-profile leaks, it leaves a number of burning questions unanswered.
