Nintendo said it would announce additional details about the console on April 2, 2025. In an accompanying press release, Nintendo said it would allow customers to test the Nintendo Switch 2 at events in New York, Los Angeles and Dallas in April, with other events planned across Europe, Asia and Australia through May.

It’s finally time: after months of teases and rumors, Nintendo has finally revealed the successor to the Switch. A new console generation is always a big deal, but this is an especially pivotal one for Nintendo.

The new console looks physically similar to the popular Switch system, which has sold more than 146 million units in seven years.
