Nintendo’s Switch 2 is here — sort of

The Switch 2 exists. We know that for sure. It’s bigger — seems like we know that, too. But what else do we know about the sequel to one of Nintendo’s most innovative and bestselling consoles? Maybe not as much as you might think.

On this episode of The Vergecast, we run down everything we know, and don’t know, about the Switch 2. The Verge’s Richard Lawler, Ash Parrish, and Andrew Webster join the show to explain all the new stuff we saw in Nintendo’s trailer, all the things we’re still wondering about, and why exactly Nintendo chooses to launch its consoles this way. It’s all a little odd, but let’s be honest: it’s the Switch 2. What else did you need to know?

After that, The Verge’s Adi Robertson joins the show to talk about the week’s whipsawing policy news. The TikTok ban — or non-ban, or later-ban, or kinda-sorta ban — is closer than ever, and there’s another tech-related case in front of the Supreme Court that could prove just as consequential. We debate whether Elon Musk might save TikTok, whether anything at all is likely to happen on Sunday, and whether RedNote and Lemon8 are the future of anything.

Finally, in the lightning round, Richard and David run down some of the week’s other news, from the ousting of Sonos CEO Patrick Spence to the first successful Blue Origin launch. There’s also some news about the iPhone 17 Air being a thing, a new streaming destination for the Super Bowl, and some Drake updates.

If you want to know more about everything we discuss in this episode, here are some links to get you started, beginning with the Switch 2:
