The Nintendo Switch 2 was officially revealed last week, with the console expected to hit shelves later this year. Of course, this leaves those on the cusp of picking up the original Nintendo Switch,

The Nintendo Switch 2 release date may have just been leaked by a retailer and its listing for the new Nintendo console.

We've already covered the specs of the souped-up Switch sequel, but I want to talk about the branding and design. In its championing of personality and fun, Nintendo has always stood out from the competition from an aesthetic perspective, but that sense of joyful rebellion feels missing here.

Ignore the hate about the possible lack of an OLED on the launch model Switch 2 and focus on this one other feature instead.

For one, Nintendo promised "a closer look at Switch 2" in a Direct video presentation scheduled for April 2. It would be a little weird for that "closer look" to come after the console itself was launched, so a launch before April seems out of the question.
