Nintendo shared the first images of the Nintendo Switch 2 in a video posted on YouTube. The successor to the widely popular game console will be simply called the Switch 2. As the name suggests, it shares the same design philosophy with a modular form factor.
Right out of the gate, the video shows the main difference with the Switch — the Switch 2 is going to be a bigger console with a larger display. There’s still a significant bezel around the display.
The Joy-Con controllers are receiving a massive update as well. Due to the larger screen size, they are also larger and feature a more rounded design. They attach magnetically to the sides of the tablet.
Nintendo is going for a less colorful design with this new console. This time, the Switch 2 is nearly entirely black with some accented colors below the controller sticks and at the top of the Joy-Cons.
The console will be dockable so that you can also play on your TV. And if you’re playing on the go, the kickstand at the back of the device has been redesigned. It appears much sturdier than the kickstand on the original Switch.
