Nintendo goes at its own pace. That’s why it shouldn’t surprise anyone that it took until last January 16 to present its next console<\/a>. Even if it had been months since we knew of its existence. Or weeks since practically everything about it had been leaked. For Nintendo to change its plans once they have been considered, something potentially catastrophic must occur, and that is a problem<\/strong>, both for the company and its fans.<\/p>\n\n\n

Why? Because we are in a situation where the announcement of Switch 2 doesn’t feel sufficient. And not precisely because of the leaks. But to delve into that topic, let’s break down everything we know for sure and what we can infer<\/strong>. Because although the announcement was brief, there is quite a bit to discuss.<\/p>\n\n

Everything We Know for Sure About Switch 2<\/h2>\n\n\n

About the things we know for sure about the successor to the current Nintendo console, we have its name, size, and appearance. Named Nintendo Switch 2, it is notably larger than the current console, but still has the same layout: a portable console<\/strong> that connects to a dock, with controllers that can be detached from the screen. Now with what seem to be improved systems of everything we already have in the Nintendo Switch, it appears to be an enhanced version of the current console.<\/p>\n\n\n

All of this is not a bad thing. Many people have rushed to say that the lack of innovation is a problem, that it is a demonstration of a Nintendo in decline, but it is not true. Nintendo and innovation are not two words that always go hand in hand<\/strong>. Throughout its history, Nintendo has had more iterative consoles than groundbreaking ones, and this is just another example of the former. Is it the first time they release a console with a 2 in the name? That is true. But they also have the resounding failure of the Wii U and the lesser failure of the Nintendo 3DS fresh in their memory: it’s normal that they want to play it safe after the success of the Switch.<\/p>\n\n\n
