The new gaming console is expected to drop later this year.


Technology has become an essential entity. Most of us can’t imagine surviving a day without our phones. But it’s not just about staying connected, it’s also about staying entertained. One brand that always brings the fun is Nintendo, and after years of speculation, the Nintendo Switch 2 has finally been revealed.

Nine years have passed since the original Nintendo Switch took the gaming world by storm, and fans have been eagerly waiting for an upgrade. Now, the announcement has come via a first-look trailer shared on social media, sending gamers everywhere in a frenzy. The video provides a glimpse of the Nintendo Switch 2’s exterior and all the changes coming to it.

The overall design of Nintendo Switch 2 remains the same; however, there are some sleek upgrades that you can’t miss. The console features detachable Joy-Con controllers that can be used in various modes. Instead of red or blue, they follow the same charcoal grey as the console with pops of colour. It will also sport a larger display, a second USB-C port, a more flexible kickstand, and the ability to connect to external displays.

Nintendo did not reveal much about software or graphics improvements. However, the animation did show a Mario Kart game, suggesting an upgrade on that front as well.

While the Nintendo Switch 2 will play both physical and digital Nintendo Switch games, some titles might not be fully supported. However, a lineup of exclusive games specifically designed for the new model will be available.

Details of when Nintendo Switch 2 will hit the shelves have not been revealed, but it’s expected to drop in 2025. Fans can also expect to spend a little more cash this time around, as pricing is likely to be over AED 1,500. More information on the release date and pricing is expected at the Nintendo Direct event on 2 April.

If you’ve been waiting to make the switch, this is the year for you. With its sleek design, new features, and the promise of exclusive games, Nintendo Switch 2 is poised to be a game-changer.
