Going against what we saw from some leakers, the Switch 2's Joy-Cons don't seem to feature curved backs like a lot of today's handheld PCs. At least their longer build will make it easier for folks with larger hands to grip them.

Nintendo first talked about the Switch in March 2015. That’s when then-Nintendo president Satoru Iwata announced a “new hardware system with a brand-new concept” under the codename NX. We wouldn’t learn the final name of the console until October 2016, when Nintendo first showed the Switch in a teaser video that demonstrated the system’s features.
