Nintendo Switch 2 and Lego Gameboy Coming in 2025

The Switch 2 is expected to feature full backward compatibility, allowing players to enjoy both digital and physical games from the original Switch, as well as access the Switch Online library. 

While specific features have not been officially confirmed, leaks and patents suggest the console may have a slightly larger 8-inch 1080p screen, dual USB-C charging ports, and new magnetic Joy-Cons. Rumors indicate it may be nearly as powerful as the PS4 Pro.
