Today's Nintendo Direct was supposed to be focused on the original Switch, but it told us a lot more about the Switch 2 and what to expect from it.

Right now, the main things we know about the Switch 2 hardware that distinguish it from the original Switch are that it's bigger and has more horsepower inside. The widespread expectation is that it will be roughly as powerful as a PlayStation 4 Pro or maybe even a Steam Deck, possibly with the ability to upscale games to 4K using DLSS technology.

Former Nintendo insiders have revealed that the Switch's best-selling game almost never came to be, as it was a total afterthought by the company.
