Nintendo unleashed the first official look at the new Switch 2 late last month, just as some had predicted it would. It gave us a quick look at what just about everyone presumes will be a brand new Mario Kart game, some light details on Switch backwards compatibility, and good look at the new, larger form-factor of its next-generation console.
