What We Know So Far
From the trailer, it looks like plenty of Reddit tipsters were correct about the console having magnetic Joy-Cons, which is a much-welcome improvement on the previous mechanism. The console dock is sporting a new curved design too, which is super elegant, and eagled-eyed viewers will also have spotted a new square-shaped button underneath the home button, which is yet to be officially identified.
Design and Colors
I own the original Nintendo Switch console in the Mario Odyssey red variant, and I love the pop of colour that the Joy-Cons bring to the vibe. It’s nice that Nintendo hasn’t completely ditched out colour for an all-black console, and I have no doubt that it will bring out different coloured Joy-Cons down the line (or at launch) for gamers to choose from.
Joy-Con Drift
Most of all, I just hope that Nintendo has fixed the dreaded Joy-Con drift that was a huge issue with the original controllers.
Conclusion
The Nintendo Switch 2 is shaping up to be an exciting console, with a sleek design and magnetic Joy-Cons. While we’re still waiting for more information, it’s clear that Nintendo is building on the success of the original Switch.
