The upcoming hybrid console retains its predecessor's core design but introduces modest updates, with full details set for release in April.

Nintendo released a two-and-a-half-minute video showcasing the design of the Switch 2, emphasizing a larger screen and updated Joy-Con controllers with magnetic attachments.
The Switch 2 will maintain the hybrid functionality of its predecessor, functioning as both a handheld device and a home console when docked.
The console will support backward compatibility with most Nintendo Switch games, though some titles may have limited or no compatibility.
A new installment of the popular 'Mario Kart' series was teased, marking the first new entry in over a decade.
Market response to the announcement was lukewarm, with Nintendo's stock dropping over 7% in Tokyo trading, as analysts noted a lack of surprising innovations.
