Eight years after the first Nintendo Switch,Uncontrollable Sexual Desire we finally have the Nintendo Switch 2. And by all accounts, it was largely worth the wait.

On Wednesday's Nintendo Direct livestream, the gaming company announced the new console with several massive improvements and new features in its typically unfussy fashion. There wasn't much fanfare, letting the Nintendo Switch 2 newness speak for itself. But the rapid-fire succession of news during the tight hourlong event also meant we were thrown a lot of information at once.
