Nintendo officially announced the new console “Nintendo Switch 2” on January 16. More detailed information will be released at the Nintendo Direct on April 2. However, players and the industry have begun to zoom in to view the trailer video. Some people speculate that its controller “New Joy” -Con” can turn into a mouse, and the combined sound “pop” in the PV is impressive and has inspired memes.
Switch 2 is the successor model of Nintendo Switch. The appearance of the two models is very similar, but the screen of the new model is wider, the size of the new Joy-Con has also become larger, and it also adopts a new connection method.

Nintendo officially has a separate video showing that the new Joy-Con can be separated from the screen after pushing the button on the bottom, allowing People can’t help but wonder how it actually works. How strong is the magnetic suction?
