Nintendo Switch 2: Watch the first unboxing videos here

The Nintendo Switch 2 launches globally on Thursday, June 5, and the first unboxing videos for the new device are starting to drop. But first, just a quick reminder about what we're looking at here. The Switch 2, in case the hype has somehow passed you by, is the highly anticipated successor to the original Switch, which came out in 2017.

Trevor of YouTube channel TmarTn2 plays things a little differently, kicking off not with the main console but with the Switch 2 Camera, which plugs into the handheld so you can enjoy video chats with friends and family. The camera also enables motion tracking for compatible games. He then moves onto the Switch 2 Pro Controller, commenting enthusiastically, 'Ooh, this has a really nice matte feel to it.'
