Nintendo’s future innovations are all baked into their past: Just in the Game & Watch line alone they gave us… The D-Pad (NES)! The dual-screen (NDS)! The kickstand (Switch)!
Look for Switch 2, then, to have a foldable case and mirror screen.

A piece of concept art in the Art of Super Mario Odyssey book is overlaid with the text "Note: Relief is temporary." While it actually refers to the fact that the design of the relief carving is not finished, it inadvertently appears to make an existential statement instead.
