The Nintendo Switch 2, the successor to the Nintendo Switch system, will be released in 2025, the company said. In a new promotional video, Nintendo showcases a larger version of the Switch that looks similar to its predecessor. The video also shows the system’s controllers, or Joy-Cons, now attach to the side of the main unit rather than slide in.

Japan's Nintendo said on Thursday it will release the Switch 2 console this year, unveiling a device that appeared to closely follow the design of its popular predecessor. The Kyoto-based gaming company did not release pricing for the new device and said it would provide more details at a Nintendo Direct event on April 2.

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.
