We knew something was coming, and now Nintendo has delivered news of the Nintendo Switch 2, which is more of the same. That’s not to say that it is a bad thing, given the success of the original Switch. With the news comes a product trailer and the announcement of the Nintendo Switch 2 Experience, which will take place in several cities in the United States (and even in Toronto, Canada).
The teaser trailer is simple, leaving little to the imagination as the camera zooms in on various components of the updated Switch. It definitely looks bigger, and the controllers have been redesigned, but little else seems to have been changed. That’s okay, though. As the adage goes, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. And given how popular and well-received the original Switch was, there’s no need to mess around with a good thing.

The trailer also showed players that they can expect a new Mario Kart (we’re gonna call it Mario Kart 9) with their new Switch, too. That said, someone has to tell us how the Nintendo Switch 2 works, and they’re going to with the Nintendo Switch Experience.
