Nintendo has officially unveiled the Nintendo Switch 2, offering a glimpse into the next generation of its popular hybrid console. Maintaining the familiar form factor, the Switch 2 appears larger than its predecessor. Although, the exact dimensions remain undisclosed. As with the original, gamers will have the flexibility to play handheld or docked to a TV.

The Joy-Con controllers have also undergone a redesign, featuring larger sizes and magnetic connections for improved attachment. Speculation suggests they may incorporate mouse-like functionality, potentially enhancing user interface navigation in docked mode.

Backward compatibility is expected for most, if not all, original Switch games. Nintendo tantalized fans with a glimpse of a new Mario Kart title. Further details about the console and potential new games will be revealed during a dedicated Nintendo Direct event scheduled for April 2.
