In a Nintendo Direct scheduled for April, the leading video game company, Nintendo, announced they’ll share details on their upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. Additionally, global events offering hands-on experiences with the Nintendo Switch 2 have been planned; further information can be found here.

The first Nintendo Switch came out in 2017 and was a big success for the company following the poor performance of the Wii U. It not only went head-to-head with the PS4 and Xbox One, but also challenged the latest generation consoles, the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Despite having less powerful hardware compared to these heavyweight consoles, the Switch holds its ground due to Nintendo’s exceptional second-party games, which are hard to beat.

Here’s to hoping the Switch 2 manages the same level of success when it launches later this year.
