Nintendo officially announced the Switch 2, a successor to the popular original, featuring a larger screen, redesigned controllers with magnetic attachments, and backward compatibility. The console's announcement follows weeks of leaks and will be showcased further at an April 2 Nintendo Direct event. Although no release date or price was mentioned, Nintendo aims to rejuvenate its hardware sales, especially after recent declines. The Switch 2 retains the hybrid console model, allowing TV docking or portable play, and hints at new game developments.
