The arrival of the Nintendo Switch 2 heralds some much-needed improvements over its predecessor, especially its Joy-Con controllers. Here’s a quick breakdown of what the announcement trailer showed us about the Switch 2’s Joy-Cons.

Now that one rumored Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con feature seems to be confirmed, the console just needs a specific companion peripheral to go with it.

You can get one for less right now, thanks to this Amazon deal. Grab a Nintendo Switch with Neon Blue and Neon Red Joy-Con for just $280, marked down from its standard price of $300. While the 7% discount offering $20 in savings might seem modest, any price reduction on Nintendo’s flagship console is noteworthy, as it rarely goes on sale.

The announcement doesn't come as a surprise—especially in the wake of CES 2025, where several peripheral makers were bold enough to display replicas of the unrevealed hardware to showcase their Switch 2 accessories—but you might be shocked at just how closely the upcoming Switch 2 sticks to the form and function of its predecessor.

The Nintendo Switch 2 Experience is coming to cities all over the world, to give people a chance to play on the next-gen console.

After months of rumors, Nintendo has officially announced the Switch 2, and perhaps the biggest surprise is how unsurprising it is. I’m not just speaking about the leaks, which have proven to be largely accurate.
