The '''[[wikipedia:Nintendo Switch 2|Nintendo Switch 2]]''' is an upcoming ninth-generation hybrid gaming console by Nintendo set to be released in 2025. First revealed in a trailer released on January 16, 2025, it is the successor to the [[Nintendo Switch emulators|Nintendo Switch]], and it is Nintendo's first console to use a standardized numbering system to differentiate it from its predecessor (much like [[Sony]]'s PlayStation family of home consoles). Like its predecessor, the Nintendo Switch 2 uses a pair of detachable Joy-Con as its controllers and can be played on the TV by placing it in the dock or in handheld mode by taking it out. The Nintendo Switch 2 is slightly larger than the original Nintendo Switch, and its Joy-Con are connected directly to the sides of the console via gendered plugs rather than vertical slide locks. Additionally, the Joy-Con, when disconnected from the console, can be turned on their sides and moved around on a flat surface, akin to a computer mouse. The console also features an extra USB-C port at the top, and its kickstand extends across almost the full width of the console; the angle at which it is reclined can be adjusted. In a similar fashion to the [[Wii emulators|Wii]] and [[Wii U emulators|Wii U]], it is backward compatible with most physical and digital Nintendo Switch games. | The '''[[wikipedia:Nintendo Switch 2|Nintendo Switch 2]]''' is an upcoming ninth-generation hybrid gaming console by Nintendo set to be released in 2025.
