2025 marks the dawn of a new era for Nintendo, and now we've finally got a look at its brand-new console, the Switch 2. On January 16, Nintendo unleashed its official reveal trailer for the exciting new handheld and gave us a first look at the system. Now, with launch day staring us in the face, it's time to compare how the new console stacks up against what's come before.
At a quick glance, the Nintendo Switch 2 will be just as we expected - featuring a larger screen, magnetically detaching Joy-Con, and a few updated gaming features. The initial trailer was mainly focused on the Switch 2 design, but now we know that it's got a lot more hiding behind its resemblance than we initially thought. Mouse features for the Joy-Con controllers, 120Hz modes, Game Chat, and more are all reasons you might be excited for the latest Nintendo console, but is it worth the investment versus the original?
