From announcement, through full reveal, and right into release, there's no denying that the Switch 2 has dominated Nintendo's 2025. And rightfully so. Eight years after the launch of the original Switch, this is the highly anticipated sequel that delivers many of the features and specs fans expected from a Switch Pro. The first-ever Nintendo console to be a straight sequel with the simple addition of a '2', it's a console that feels much more appealing to a broader market than the bright colors and motion-controlled fun of the original Switch's launch.
Its matte grey minimalism, with just the right pops of color, feels like an attitude change from Nintendo. This is a sophisticated design that feels tailored to the vast adult Switch audience as much as to the rest of the family.
