The Switch 2 announcement and reveal video is now trending across the internet and more industry figures, developers and publishers are beginning to share their reactions. We've rounded up as many as can find here in one post. Enjoy!

Ubisoft

After some rumours suggesting it's bringing over a dozen games to Nintendo's new platform, Ubisoft has now publicly declared it's in love with the Switch 2:

Masahiro Sakurai (Smash Bros)

Sakurai's response was a simple one-liner but he seems impressed (and maybe surprised?):

"Ooooh!"

Takaya Imamura (Star Fox, F-Zero)

Former Nintendo employee Takaya Imamura, known for his previous work on series like Star Fox - has also chimed in with some thoughts:

"Nintendo has produced many game consoles so far, but with the Switch, they may have finally found the ideal form. And it can be said that the Switch 2 is the evolution of that. Although there are few changes in appearance, there must be some surprising features hidden

"Thinking back on it, this was the first time I'd experienced a new hardware announcement from outside Nintendo! I had no idea it would be this exciting! Excitement is important."

He's also totally up for a Star Fox return on Switch 2:

"We will definitely meet"

Reggie Fils-Aimé (former NoA president):

Nintendo of America's former president Reggie acknowledged the new system with throwback to his time at the company:

Katsuhiro Harada (Tekken)

Not much from Harada, but he did do a quick repost of the Switch 2 announcement on social media. This follows rumours in recent weeks Tekken could be on the way to the new system.

Ruffy and the Riverside

This 3D platformer which recently locked in a date for the Switch, will apparently run great on the Switch 2:

The folks at Team Cherry have also made headlines following the Switch 2 Direct announcement...

Doug Bowser (NoA President):

President Bowser didn't want to forget his pal DK on a day like this:

Hideki Kamiya (Okami)

Kamiya, who is now working on an Okami sequel, went on a rant about Switch 2 leakers:
