Nintendo Switch 2 first trailer released, coming in 2025

by Adam Cook on January 16, 2025

After what feels like a lifetime of waiting, Nintendo has finally announced the Nintendo Switch 2. We’ve got all the details so far, after the company revealed how it looks, what it will do, and when you can find out more

As you’d expect, the Switch 2 looks like a, well, new Nintendo Switch. Check out the reveal trailer, or the “first look trailer” as Nintendo is calling it:

“Introducing Nintendo Switch 2, the successor to Nintendo Switch releasing in 2025.”

We can see there’s a new button on there, and as rumoured the JoyCons are now magnetic, but seem to retain a bit of that “click” sound that was a defining marketing thing for the Switch itself.
