Nintendo announces the Switch 2 [video]

A little sad about the lack of a rail compatible with charging existing controllers. Hopefully it's compatible with current gen controllers anyway given how expensive they are.

One of my favorite parts about the Xbox Series generation of consoles is that it's fully compatible with the previous Xbox One controllers.

It would be amazing if they could get their multi-gen multi-console save-sync to work nearly as well as Microsoft's so I could switch back and forth between my existing Switch and Switch 2 seamlessly but I doubt that's in the cards, this is Nintendo were talking about.

The rumour has it the older joycons can still be used wirelessly, just not physically connected.

So how are you going to charge them then? Have the old Switch 1 lying around as a charging station?
