THIS is The Switch 2 (Analysis)

Nintendo Switch 2, the successor to the Nintendo Switch system, will be released in 2025. Today Nintendo offered a first look at Nintendo Switch 2 in a video introducing the hardware.

Nintendo Switch 2 plays Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive games, as well as both physical and digital Nintendo Switch games. Certain Nintendo Switch games may not be supported on or fully compatible with Nintendo Switch 2. Details will be shared on the Nintendo website at a later date.

This HAD to be backwards compatible! Good job on Nintendo for doing that.

[LexiTheStarQueen]

Dont think we didnt see the original title

[cstaffordss]

You're the best Nintendo you tuber for not bombarding us with repeated vids for engagement purposes

[cfexile]

I really appreciate that you never covered all those rumors Austin! I’ll be here for all your videos on the Switch 2.

[Natarii]

8:35 was so Scott The Woz coded lmao

Also major respect to you for ending your vacation early to cover this, I hope that Nintendo of America support your channel cause I think you definitely deserve the chance to be one of the first to experience gameplay (and also you've been so respectful not sharing leaks and rumours)

Calling it Switch 2 might make this the beginning of a “PS2 > PS3 > PS4 etc” era. Think about it, there’s not much that Nintendo can do to leave this half console/half portable functionality… so now this might just be the foundation we iterate on (switch 2, 3, 4 etc)

[joelucas]

It's always appreciated that you only put videos out when there's actual evidence!

[coopsaf]

We went years of discussing what the next Pokemon Legends game would be, when Metroid Prime 4 would be shown, and when the next Switch would be revealed. We’re now getting all 3 this year!

[ChrisWCorp]

To be honest, having the physical games be backwards compatible is an underrated bonus I don't think enough people are talking about.

That's only really happened with the Wii/Gamecube and WiiU/Wii for physical media.

[MarkWhiteartist]

I haven’t seen your videos on my feed since the scarlet and violet DLC release. Nice to see you back again.

[PHONX_]

The way you thew it back on the shelf. Then hesitated for a second, thinking "it deserves worse than that". And then casually threw it in the toilet 😂😂

[ShadowFoxO]

Had to do a double take when I saw the title. A zelda themed switch 2 oled scalpers would go wild.

[Sleep]

"I don't know if they snap in the intro"

they did like all the sound in the reveal trailer lol

[darcidious]

"They're bigger, blacker, sleeker and sexier"

somebody soundbite that RIGHT NOW

[TheElly]

Look at my man! He's back early just for us. I purposefully ignored other videos on the switch 2 announcement because I saw you tweet that you were on your way back ready to work. Keep it up!

[EndyStar]

the grip doesnt actually have a pass-through mirror, as the lights face forward!

[LeonSKennedy]

Can’t wait for online 24-racer showdowns on the new Mario Kart tracks! 🏎️🏁

Thank you, Austin John, for not "bombarding us with BS rumors". Those rumors were really annoying and 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 wasting my time. We also appreciate you as well as a gamer, so thanks again.
Also, Welcome Back. It's been a while.

[bladeonpoint]

Excellent video! The 1-2 switch gag had me rolling. I definitely appreciate you practicing patience and waiting to cover Switch 2 until we got some official news. I'm excited for your future coverage

The Switch has been such a great system for me as a pilot. I travel lot and this is a console I have been able to take along with me everywhere I go. Being able to download games also saves me from having to go through customs too often. I'm gonna try and get my hands on this on release date.
