Jennifer Maas TV Business Writer Nintendo has unveiled the long-awaited successor to its popular Switch video game console: the Nintendo Switch 2.

First-look images at the console design and a teaser trailer were revealed by Nintendo Thursday, but the Japan-based video game company has held back the price tag for the Switch 2 as well as the official release date.

Additional details about the Switch 2 will be announced during a Nintendo Direct event on April 2. Last May, Nintendo made its first official mention of the device, with Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa saying in a statement: “We will make an announcement about the successor to Nintendo Switch within this fiscal year.

It will have been over nine years since we announced the existence of Nintendo Switch back in March 2015. We will be holding a Nintendo Direct this June regarding the Nintendo Switch software lineup for the latter half of 2024, but please be aware that there will be no mention of the Nintendo Switch successor during that presentation.” Nintendo’s fiscal year runs from April-March, meaning the Japan-based company was promising to announce the Switch successor by the end of March 2025.
