The Switch 2 could shape up to be the ultimate all-in-one portable gaming device. There is potential for it to play other console games and PC games while still being the only device that can play Nintendo games.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is finally official, after being shown in a brief teaser video online. We will find out more about it in April, with a dedicated Nintendo Direct presentation also announced. Nintendo has finally broken its silence on the Nintendo Switch 2, officially unveiling it in an online video that's (mostly and ironically) silent.
