The first Switch was a revelation. When it launched, I marveled over being able to play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on my TV and then take the console out of the dock

The Switch 2 announcement contained precious little real information. The new machine will seemingly function much like the original: a hybrid device operating as both portable and console. Nintendo’s showcase video depicts an original Switch morphing into a slightly larger, somewhat more grown-up and less colourful Switch 2 model.
