The teaser highlighted a larger screen, a more robust kickstand, and magnetically attaching Joy-Cons—a significant change from the original's rail system. An extra USB-C port was also confirmed.

Backward compatibility is confirmed for both physical and digital Switch games, although Nintendo acknowledges some titles may have limited or no support on the Switch 2. Specific details regarding incompatible games will be released later on the Nintendo website. Nintendo Switch Online services will continue seamlessly on the Switch 2.

Switch 2 Officially Announced While no exclusive titles were officially announced, the teaser hinted at a new Mario Kart installment (possibly Mario Kart 9) and reports suggest Gotham Knights may be a launch title. Further details, including game announcements, will be revealed during a dedicated Nintendo Direct on April 2nd, 2025.
