Nintendo provided a first look Thursday at the upcoming Nintendo Switch<\/a> 2 console, which is set for worldwide release this year.<\/p>\n

In a YouTube video, Nintendo showcased some of the upgrades from the Switch to the Switch 2, including a larger and clearer screen, bigger and more advanced joy-cons, and a built-in stand that can be used while utilizing the Switch 2’s handheld feature:<\/p>\n

Nintendo also revealed in the video that the Switch 2 will be able to play Switch 2 exclusive games, as well as physical and digital games from the original Switch, although some original Switch games may not be compatible with the new system.<\/p>\n

In order to showcase the Switch 2, Nintendo showed how the hugely popular Mario Kart video game franchise looks on the console.<\/p>\n

While no official release date for the Switch 2 has been announced by Nintendo, gamers will get a chance to try it out in the coming months at the Nintendo Switch<\/a> 2 Experience.<\/p>\n

The Nintendo Switch<\/a> 2 Experience will be held in cities across the world, including New York City (April 4-6), Los Angeles (April 11-13), Dallas (April 25-27) and Toronto (April 25-27).<\/p>\n

Multiple European cities will play host to the Nintendo Switch<\/a> 2 Experience in April and May as well, plus Melbourne from May 10-11, Tokyo from April 26-27 and Seoul from May 31-June 1.<\/p>\n

The original Switch released in March 2017, succeeding the Wii U, which was largely a commercial failure for Nintendo.<\/p>\n

Nintendo desperately needed a bounce-back product, and the Switch has proved to be precisely that.<\/p>\n

According to IGN’s Jordan Siriani<\/a>, the Switch was the third-highest selling video game console of all time as of November with 146.04 million units sold.<\/p>\n

That placed it behind only the Sony PlayStation 2 (160 million units sold) and the Nintendo DS (154.02 million units sold).<\/p>\n

The Switch was a revolutionary console in that it gave gamers the ability to play at home or on the go, and the Switch 2 figures to build upon that novel concept.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
