Nintendo last week officially announced the Nintendo Switch 2 with the release of a first-look trailer.
A new video has been posted on the official Nintendo Switch 2 website that showcases a new animation on how to remove the new Joy-Cons from the main unit.
The animation shows there is a new button on the back of the Joy-Cons behind ZL and ZR. The button when pressed appears to disable the magnetic charge, allowing the Joy-Cons to be removed.
The Joy-Cons on the original Nintendo Switch were attached to the main unit using a rail system and had a small button that needed to be pressed in order to remove them.
The upcoming console will play exclusive games, as well as physical and digital Nintendo Switch games. However, some Nintendo Switch games may not be supported or fully compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2. Nintendo will share more details at a later date.
Nintendo will be holding a series of Nintendo Switch 2 hands-on experiences around the world. This includes New York, Los Angeles, Dallas, and Toronto in North America, Paris, London, Milan, Berlin, Madrid, and Amsterdam in Europe, Melbourne in Oceania, and Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong, and Taipei in Asia.
The Nintendo Switch 2 will launch in 2025 and the Nintendo Direct: Nintendo Switch 2 will take place on Wednesday, April 2.

Fucking magnets, how do they work?
You guys remove your Joy Cons?
A button? Nice, would have never thought of that.
That was kinda obvious. Looks like it won't cut your finger like the Joy-Con removal on the Switch 1 sometimes did.
say what? how can anyone cut their fingers? I mean, is there a wrong way to do it that it becomes dangeros?
OIC. Its because i never ever used the joycons that way. I immediatly bought a switch pro controller, since the joycons are more uncomfortable than NES square controllers, plus I have big hands like Mickey mouse
Oh, I wouldn't say they're more uncomfortable than regular NES controllers.
