Nintendo has announced more details on its Switch 2 console – including when it will actually be available.
The new console brings new interactive chat features and the ability to share a screen with friends and family.
The Switch 2 will be available on 5 June, the company said.
At its 60-minute Nintendo Direct presentation, the company revealed new information about the Nintendo Switch 2 hardware and software.
Central to its updated portable gaming console is a new "C" button on its Joy Con controller, which will launch a new "GameChat" that allows you to "communicate with friends and family while playing a game" and let you share your game screen with other players.
A built-in microphone at the top of the system will also allow you to talk to other gamers.
The new console will be backwards compatible - able to play physical and digital Switch games - although some may not be supported or fully compatible with the Switch 2, Nintendo said.
