Watching video game history happen again with the Nintendo Switch 2

The Nintendo Switch 2 was announced today and it immediately made me nostalgic about the launch of the original Switch that came in 2017.

It was a moment of high anticipation, no doubt watched around the world due to leaks, and at least we got the official name confirmed: the Nintendo Switch 2. But if you were looking for a lot more, it’s a bit of a letdown as you’ll have to wait until the next reveal in a fairly long and slow marketing striptease. The big games for the Switch launch included 1-2-Switch, a bunch of mini games; The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild; Just Dance 2017; Skylanders: Imaginators; Super Bomberman 3; I am Setsuna; Snipperclips; Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove; Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment; and Fast RMX.
