Nintendo gives eager gamers a new look at the Switch 2 just days before the console is set to be the focus of an upcoming Nintendo Direct livestream.

The Japanese gaming giant is about to release its latest console. The stakes have never been higher to end the boom-bust cycle that’s plagued the company for years.

Right now, the main things we know about the Switch 2 hardware that distinguish it from the original Switch are that it's bigger and has more horsepower inside. The widespread expectation is that it will be roughly as powerful as a PlayStation 4 Pro or maybe even a Steam Deck, possibly with the ability to upscale games to 4K using DLSS technology.
