Hot off the Nintendo Switch 2's reveal last Thursday, we're still reeling from the excitement of getting to see an official render of the console (even if it followed the leaks rather closely). But beyond hardware hype, the existence of the Switch 2 is a signal that everything is changing for Nintendo.
Nintendo has never utilized a "2" in any of its hardware launches, making the successor to the Switch a first of its kind. While this may seem like nothing more than an aesthetic choice, especially when the Wii U and SNES acted as successors to their respective console lines, it's a way bigger deal when you consider what that means for the future.
