After many months of speculation and rumors,Nintendo officially revealed the Nintendo Switch 2 on January 16. Nintendo’s next-generation hardware follows the successful design language of the original Nintendo Switch, but there are some notable differences, such as a larger display, slightly bigger Joy-Cons, and two USB-C ports instead of one. Additionally, the console is backwards compatible with games from the original Switch, with certain titles not being fully supported on Switch 2. More details about the Switch successor will be revealed at the upcoming April 2 Nintendo Direct showcase, but the console’s official reveal gives third parties, including Nacon, an opportunity to tease and reveal what they’re working on for the new platform.

Firstly, a variety of soft and hard-shell carrying cases from Nacon will be available atthe launch of Nintendo Switch 2.
