The Switch 2 was revealed this week, and though I was relieved to finally see a confirmation for the thing we’ve all known about for months, I was surprised by how un-Nintendo the first look felt. Comparing the Switch 2 reveal to the original Switch's reveal shows how different Nintendo's task is this time around.

You can always count on Nintendo for a surprise. This is the company that followed the Game Boy with a strange dual-screened handheld and broke out of its GameCube slump with a console focused on motion controls.
