The Nintendo Switch 2 is almost here. In just a few months, you can get your hands on the sequel to the greatest home console since the PlayStation 2, at least according to sales figures. While some features and changes are a tad concerning -– almost nobody is looking forward to the increased game prices -– others are turning heads in a good way.

Editor's Note (April 4, 2025): We've updated this piece to reflect the fact that Nintendo has announced that it will delay its plans to start taking pre-orders for the Switch 2 in light of the trade tariffs set by the U.S. this week.
