I feel like they didn't do a "lifestyle" trailer because with the original Switch, they needed to describe what the Switch concept can do, and all the capabilities of the console. With the Switch 2, we already know what the Switch can do, so they didn't need to do the same type of trailer.

The Joy-Con mouse controls are CLASSIC "Thing I Didn't Know I Wanted Until I Saw It" Nintendo. This will be a game-changer for Animal Crossing, Mario Maker, Pikmin, Splatoon (not to mention whatever weird new IP they're probably cooking up to take full advantage of it). Love, love, love it!!!

Switch: hear us out, it's different but you'll love this

Switch 2: you know that thing you already love? it's even better now

Having the USB-C port on the top and bottom is awesome, charging it underneath was sort of a pain and returns to the handheld concept, very excited and we knew backwards compatibility but it finally has been revealed

[sow_scout]

Although hardware leaked, Nintendo has been doing a pretty good job of keeping the contents of Direct a secret, or at least some of the big secrets. So I think we might be in for a treat for the April Direct.

17:54 what if it's just Mario kart Wonder and anytime you get a wonder seed in the game it drastically alters the entire course.

I can never stop noticing how John always says "Meh-rio".

[matthewstephens]

The fact that it's just "Switch 2" is actually unprecedented for Nintendo. They've always done things like Super Nintendo, Gameboy Color, Advance, "new" 3DS. I was sort of hoping for it to be the "Super Switch", but I guess Nintendo really wanted to make sure that people understood this was a new console.

We were caught sneaking into the living room to peek at the christmas presents and this is our parents punishing us by only giving us what we could peek. We will not get that big mysterious box until Easter now, to teach us a lesson.

In case you haven't already realized, the JoyCon straps don't attach magnetically. In fact, the center of the part of the strap that fits around the rail is just one long hole, so the top of the JoyCon rail is fully exposed, and you're pressing the SR and SL buttons directly. The straps attach with a mechanical latch along the perimeter.

Jon says its 1 pm there but video looks like 1 AM !!! LOL

Really happy to see "mouse" integration. Things like Rollercoaster Tycoon and RTS games on the Switch really needed this. Also would've LOVED this when playing Metroid Prime Remastered (maybe on Metroid Prime 4?!)

Let's hope for a Mario Maker 3, with ease of use like the original (And Mario Paint 2, or a full Mario Artist series release!)

To me this trailer feels like they wanted it out before the investor meeting in ~2 weeks. Mostly just to say that yes, it's been announced, and there's a hard date for more info coming soon.

[halifirien]

I think the original trailer was more lifestyle just to convey the concept of how it works. Now we know, so they can show hardware.

[vianabdullah]

I love the DK redesign, it's very reminiscent of his classic look.

[paintfatpurple]

No way. You can’t launch the new Mario with only 2 months of marketing. Plus they need to market the new Switch in April and May. So Mario Kart is perfect with Prime 4. And Mario will be this Holiday or September with the Anniversary.

[InvaderIceStrike]

I’m so happy we got the official reveal! Now I get to catch up on all the videos I skipped covering the leaks

[alliesangalli]

This was exactly what I expected it to be. A relatively basic teaser that just shows that this thing is a bigger Switch, with an announcement of a real presentation later on. I wish we could've seen some more game teasers, like the original Switch, but otherwise I'm content.

Insane how John missed the joycon skates for the mouse mode - its confirmed John. Come on man!!!!

[OsakaSan]

The cables when the joycons slide together are indeed the joycon straps, and their design completes the mousecon theory. Seems like, in this case, the straps are designed to not use the SL and SR buttons.
