Ignore the hate about the possible lack of an OLED on the launch model Switch 2 and focus on this one other feature instead.

We've already covered the specs of the souped-up Switch sequel, but I want to talk about the branding and design. In its championing of personality and fun, Nintendo has always stood out from the competition from an aesthetic perspective, but that sense of joyful rebellion feels missing here.

The Nintendo Switch 2 release date may have just been leaked by a retailer and its listing for the new Nintendo console.

I've been reporting on rumours of the Nintendo Switch 2 (or as we thought it might be called, Nintendo Switch Pro [or Super Nintendo Switch]) for over three years, and the thing gets announced while I'm on holiday.
