After considerable speculation, Nintendo unveiled their next-generation console. The short teaser showcased a refined design retaining the hybrid functionality of the original Switch, but with key enhancements.
The teaser highlighted a larger screen, a more robust kickstand, and magnetically attaching Joy-Cons – a significant change from the original's rail system. An additional USB-C port was also confirmed.

Nintendo confirmed backward compatibility, stating that both physical and digital Nintendo Switch games will be playable. However, they acknowledged that some titles might not be fully supported. Further details will be released on the Nintendo website. Nintendo Switch Online functionality will also carry over.
