Nintendo just dropped the trailer for the Nintendo Switch 2, and while they may have expected an out-of-this-world reaction, it's safe to say that fans are less than amused.

Some fans could not help but point out that there were virtually no differences between the first iteration and the second, while some had questions about the more trivial things, such as if anyone really ever uses the stand that comes on the back.

Nonetheless, we've rounded up all of the funniest reactions we could find, so hopefully, you have just as much fun ripping into the Nintendo Switch 2 as much as users on X did.

Users react to the new Nintendo Switch 2 by ripping it to shreds: Here are all the funniest reactions we found

Here's one user comparing the new design to the video of NikkieTutorials unveiling her new color, except it left everyone underwhelmed (via @Galactyz/X):

Another user had no words to say save for this meme (via @TheGlobal_Index/X):

A third user weighed in with this photo collage of the same man, except he has a toothpick in one picture and he doesn't in the other (via @suayrez/X):

Here's what one user felt about the updated designs (via @shortguyjim/X):

One user (@gookyjhit) joked that Nintendo might be scamming us at this point:

Here's another user (@Angelica_Reed42) who reacted with a meme and had no words to say. Either way, we get the sentiments:

Here's yet another user (@theteezhot) who expressed excitement for the forthcoming product:

Okay, okay, there's more than just one or two users who may be excited about buying the upgraded product (via @oplivio/X):

But then... the trolls are overwhelming. Check out how creatively this one user dissed the update, Apple, and Android at once (via @Rockstar82vansh/X):

Check out what this one user (@ironkiing) jokingly stated in the form of a meme... How does the saying go? A picture speaks a thousand words, right?

This user may be underwhelmed, but make no mistake, they will be swiping their cards (via @BananaClipGame/X):

Did they add analog to it? That's the big upgrade? What are they getting us all excited for anyway? Not our words, this is how the internet is currently feeling (via @Update1page/X):

This user's caption says something, and the accompanying GIF says something else (via @ThePrinceJason/X):


For those interested, mark your calendars as you can get your own Nintendo Switch 2 in April 2025.
