Nearly eight years after the first Nintendo Switch console was released, the iconic video game company is finally ready to follow it up with the Nintendo Switch 2.

Nintendo of America shared a teaser on Thursday showing off the Switch 2’s bigger screen, muted colors, larger Joy-Cons and a built-in kickstand. Backwards compatibility is also expected and the video appeared to show a new Mario Kart game in action.

While they did not offer a specific release date, the console will officially be coming in 2025. Plus, a Nintendo Direct broadcast has been set for April 2, ostensibly with plenty of additional details to be revealed therein.
