The NEW ZELDA Nintendo Switch 2 is BEAUTIFUL!

Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

1:00The anniversary bundle opens with angled Joy-Cons and a separate console compartment.
3:13The green Joy-Cons combine a shimmering appearance, Triforce emblem and matte textured finish.
4:27Gold Triforce artwork extends across the tablet's back casing and kickstand.
5:45The dock has a reflective front and 8-bit Link and Zelda sprites behind its rear door.
8:31Wood returns during editing to show the assembled console after forgetting to attach the Joy-Cons.
10:18Earlier Zelda handheld bundles prompt a complaint about consoles no longer including pre-installed games.

Wood gets so caught up inspecting the Zelda-themed Switch 2 that he forgets to put it together. While editing, he realizes the green Joy-Cons never made it onto the tablet, then returns to show the assembled console. It's a nicely human interruption to a video devoted to the details.

"The NEW ZELDA Nintendo Switch 2 is BEAUTIFUL!" is BeatEmUps' most-watched upload of the week, approaching 400,000 views. Wood examines the controllers' shimmer and matte texture, the gold Triforce artwork across the console's back, and a reflective dock with a small surprise behind its rear door: 8-bit Link and Zelda sprites. The video includes a sponsored Whatnot shopping segment.

The dock is also a talking point beneath the video. Viewers who already own a Switch 2 wish they could buy it separately, while another suggests the packaging deserved a speaker playing Zelda's treasure-chest sound. These are collectors discussing the difference between wanting a design and needing another console.

The week's other substantial upload, "I Spent $5000 on Nintendo Switch 2 Games So You Don't Have To", has the strongest daily viewing momentum right now. A shorter Fatal Fury buying guide completes the new lineup, while October's "I OFFICIALLY Ranked EVERY ZELDA from BEST to WORST" continues drawing viewers from the archive.

BeatEmUps added 10,000 subscribers over the week, and its current daily views are nearly four times its usual level. Nearby gaming channels are busy too: Scott The Woz and AfroSenju XL are both seeing elevated daily viewing, while Greenskull AI is quieter than usual. For Wood, the week's most memorable detail may be the one hidden inside the dock, rather than anything on its screen.

What viewers say

I wish they sold the dock separately. I really want it, but I'm not buying a second switch 2

Not having one of those birthday card speakers making the chest noise was criminal on Nintendo's part...

I miss when Nintendo used to do special edition consoles more often, still love my Persona 3DS 💙

This special edition is so beautiful. Love the shiny green and the title details like the Link in the joy-con and the hearts in the back of the dock. Low key jealous of everyone getting one but I have the regular Switch 2 and can't justify another one just for the design.

So happy to see this video ❤ Green colour joycons remind me of the Zonai tech in TOTK

Great video! Thanks for showing it off so well, I pre ordered one on Amazon for the second batch/wave on the 5th of November, and you’ve made me even more excited! 😊
