Though the details about the inner workings of the Switch 2 are still unknown, its unveiling in January hinted at significant alterations in the hardware components.

The new model boasts a larger screen, joysticks (joycons), and an innovative change in the way controllers connect to the console. Instead of relying on the traditional rail system, Nintendo has opted for a magnetic connection method, which appears to make them more resistant to damage.

As a gaming enthusiast, I’m super excited about Nintendo’s latest addition – an optical sensor on the side of the Joycons! The reveal trailer hinted at some intriguing possibilities, like using them as a mouse in certain games. It’s still unclear how this feature will work, but if implemented well, it could potentially spark a comeback for a classic game like Mario Paint. Can’t wait to see more details!
