Decided to create a seperate thread for the Switch 2 which has been recently unveiled by nintendo.
The trailer for the new system. Both the system and the new joycons are shown to be bigger than their original counterparts, connecting to each other with magnets on the side instead of rails, and what might be a larger release button (tumors on joycons before GTA 6).
The trailer also shows two usb-c ports on both the top and the bottom of the system, with a new kickstand design that looks a bit flimsy in my opinion. The trailer ends with gameplay footage of mario kart, I am unsure if this is 8 deluxe or a new entry
An image of the consoles appearance while docked
Backwards compatibility confirmed for nintendo switch games, although some will not work. Sad day for the 3 Labo and Ringfit users.
Closer look at the system in April of this year, which I think will also include the software running on the switch 2.
Nintendo are also hosting hands on events in April, these are the events planned out for the United states. Other places worldwide will get hands on events around the same time.
2025 Is the year to begin round 2 of "At least it's portable!", no themes and hentai eslop games for the next 7-8 years.
More to be added to OP as time goes on.

Hardware:
7.9 inch 1080p 120hz display, with HDR
256gb storage, can only be expanded with microsd express cards
optical sensors on the joycons, allowing them to be used as a mouse, usable in supported titles (civ 7 is confirmed to use this on the switch 2)
Built in mic for game chat, with noise cancellation
2 usb-c ports, which can be used for accessories, or charging in tabletop mode.
A new dock with 4k 60 support
a new game card, it is red and is said to be
Features:
The switch 2 is also going to get game chat, which is free to use until march 31st 2026, which you will need a nso membership to use after. Players will be able to speak to each other with a built in mic, screenshare their game and use a camera to show their face with an accessory available at launch. The "C" button on the new joycon and pro controller brings up the game chat menu. The camera accessory can also be used for a paid upgrade version of mario party jamboree (fucking stupid paying for upgrades of a game you already own.)
A feature from the ds and 3ds family is also making a return for switch 1 and 2 via a future software update, game sharing will allow multiple systems to play together locally with just one game copy, it also supports online play, with friends in game chat. The first game to support this will be Clubhouse games 51 worldwide classics, with more games planned to support this in the future.
