I wonder if they have a new control technique up their sleeve. Innovative gameplay and pushing new control ideas is one of Nintendo’s signatures. That said, being the switch 2, not a new console, maybe they kept it the same and just upgraded the processing and graphics hardware. Looking forward to more!

It's probably too much to hope for to get more Labo sets, but a guy can dream, can't he?

Sad they’re keeping at the same thing, I was personally hoping for a NEW thing like innovation but it seems like theyre just keeping steady at the same pace. Of course looking back at the past this shouldn’t have been a huge surprise with their ds to 3ds to new3ds shenanigans

Yeah, it feels like a very iterative update compared to previous Nintendo consoles.

Relevant: https://www.nintendo.com/successor/en-us/index.html Nintendo Direct focused on Switch 2: Apr 2nd. Looks like joy-cons will have 'mouse-like' functionality and there's a 'C' on right joy-con but its functionality is not reveled. New Mario Kart showcased would probably be one of the first exclusives.

That was a new mario kart? it looked like mario kart 8 to me.

That's what I wanted. An improved Switch. Waiting for the specs

Same here. Really hope it is more than what was rumoured, which was using some 6 years old tech.

What was missing from games 6 years ago that current tech has made possible?

Besides more leaves on trees, of course.

Wasn't expecting it to actually be called "Switch 2", but I'm glad they stuck to a name that makes sense.

I was also expecting they would fumble marketing again and call the new console something like 'Switch U', but it seems they really learned their lesson there.
