The Nintendo Switch 2, the successor to the Japanese gaming giant’s popular Switch console, will be released this year.

The firm published a trailer on its website confirming the release of the console, but has not yet revealed a price or launch date.

The original Nintendo Switch has proven hugely popular with gaming fans since it was released in 2017, with its hybrid home and mobile gaming system which allows players to carry the screen and detachable remote controls with them, as well as dock the device in a station at home to use it with a TV.
