Article note: Neat. \nThe backward compatibility is nice, it should be technically straightforward but I didn't expect Nintendo to be cool about it. \nThe poorly-constrained, fine pitch, plastic bodied connector for the controller interface looks like it's going to be a major point of predictable, avoidable failure.<\/div>

After months<\/a> and years<\/a> of rumors<\/a> and official hints<\/a>, Nintendo has finally pulled back the curtain on the Switch 2 with a first-look trailer<\/a> (and sparse promo web site<\/a>) highlighting many small changes from the old Switch.<\/p>\n

The short trailer shows off the Switch 2's larger tablet and screen, and a slightly more rounded edge on the top and bottom. The new system also sports an additional USB-C port on the top (next to a headphone jack) and a wider, U-shaped kickstand along the backside that can support the system at a number of wider angles.<\/p>\n

The trailer also shows off black Joy-Cons that are significantly larger than those on the original Switch, with colored accents behind the joystick itself. An extended, colored Joy-Con \"rail\" on the inner edge features wider shoulder buttons and a new connector in the center. Rather than sliding in vertically, like the plastic rail on the Switch Joy-Cons, the controllers on the Switch 2 snap in horizontally with what appears to be a magnetic connection<\/a>, and disconnects with the aid of a horizontal lever to the side of the shoulder buttons.<\/p>
