The Nintendo Switch 2: A Refresh After Seven Years<\/strong><\/p>\n

As the world turns, so do the console generations. The Nintendo Switch, which is over seven years old, is due for a refresh. Nintendo Switch 2 rumors have been swirling for years, but now we have some signs of life. The company officially revealed the sequel to its most successful home console ever in a brief trailer on January 16.<\/p>\n

Design and Features<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Switch 2 looks functionally very similar to the original system, albeit with a larger display, magnetic Joy-Cons, and a sleeker design. The company also reaffirmed that the upcoming console will be backwards compatible with Switch games.<\/p>\n

Game Enhancements and Backwards Compatibility<\/strong><\/p>\n

While the reveal did confirm some rumors and had a few interesting details, it’s all but nailed on that we’ll learn much more about the Switch 2 launch lineup during the April 2 Nintendo Direct, which starts at 9AM ET. You’ll definitely want to set your Alarmo for that one.<\/p>\n

Dual Release of Metroid Prime 4<\/strong><\/p>\n

If there’s a gimmick or hook involved with the console, we’ll also get a game that takes advantage of that. A dual release of Metroid Prime 4, just like Breath of the Wild and Twilight Princess before that, is also a possibility.<\/p>\n
