30 details in the first Switch 2 trailer. What did Nintendo show?

Nintendo officially revealed the Switch 2 console, but the show was not quite what everyone expected. Nevertheless, the first teaser revealed plenty of details.

Nintendo Switch 2 will be released in 2025, but the exact date and price will most likely only be announced in April. 

Although the presentation was understated overall, the IGN editorial team managed to spot 30 interesting details in the teaser. One of the main highlights was the increased size of the console – it is 15% larger compared to the original model. The Joy-Cons are now black with vivid colored accents (red and blue). A new magnetic attachment mechanism was also confirmed, and an additional button mechanism appeared on the back of the Joy-Cons for easier detachment of the controllers from the console.

A new button element is integrated into the right Joy-Con, and the console received a new kickstand. Special attention should be paid to the controllers – despite the changes, the analog sticks retain their recognizable and comfortable design. The console will have only one game card slot, but it is fully compatible with games from the previous version of Switch. A USB-C port has also been added to the top of the device, and the dock features a special cutout, which may indicate the ability to display additional information on the console screen while it is docked.
