Nintendo finally, formally took the wraps off the Nintendo Switch 2, giving us our first official look at the new Joy-Con controllers, a new Mario Kart game, and more. But the company also gave us a glimpse at how the size compares to the older Switch system.

Compared to the original Switch, the Switch 2 Joycons are much bigger in size, with one boasting orange highlights while the other has blue. When separated from the console, the raised edge features additional buttons for even more accessibility and control over the action.

The Switch 2 reveal trailer confirms the dimensions and screen size of Nintendo's next console, but only after some careful analysis.

Switch 2 features a port for game cartridges, two USB-C ports, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack, based on the system’s reveal and early leaks. A slot for expanded microSD storage appears to be tucked away underneath the Switch 2’s kickstand, similar to the original Switch.

The Joy-Con have had a glow up. The new Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con have been stretched into a much taller form factor than the previous model's. That should make for a more comfortable hold overall, especially with the slimmer silhouette and more rounded edges, though we're yet to test the handheld fully.

Nintendo sadly hasn't revealed a price for the Switch 2 yet, but there's a strong chance it'll cost under $400. While you'll want to avoid making any final spending plans until that MSRP is finally revealed, having a look at pricing history and trends from past generations can help provide a ballpark figure.

Nintendo may have officially unveiled the Nintendo Switch 2 last week, but not everything was revealed during that announcement. While we know the new console is coming at some point in 2025, we still don't know when.
