Early Footage of the Nintendo Switch 2 Surfaces Online

As anticipation builds, more videos showcasing individuals unboxing and exploring the Nintendo Switch 2 are appearing across the internet. Among these, the most revealing footage offers a detailed look at the device’s interface and operational features.

Recently, a user who previously shared an unboxing video has uploaded a new clip demonstrating the console’s startup sequence, setup process, and various system settings. Thanks to reader Zuljaras for bringing this to our attention!

Another content creator, popsculture2, obtained a Switch 2 earlier today. In an 11-minute video, they showcase the console’s initial setup, interface, and additional options that surpass those available on the original Switch model.

While we won’t dissect every detail of the video here, it’s clear that many of the interface elements remain familiar, aligning with what Nintendo has gradually revealed since the console’s official announcement in April.

One notable aspect is the confirmation of a “missing update” issue. When popsculture2 attempts to access certain games from their library, they are prompted to update the console. However, a pop-up indicates that the device is already running the latest firmware, suggesting that the rumored patch enabling backward compatibility with Switch 1 titles has yet to be implemented.

It appears that these types of videos will continue to surface until the official launch on June 5, 2025. Fortunately, the wait is nearly over, and eager fans will soon be able to get their hands on the new hardware.
