One of the worst-kept secrets in the gaming industry—this phrase seems fitting to describe what Nintendo has been preparing for the next generation. Discussions about the existence of the Nintendo Switch 2 have even materialise in reality with replicas circulating well before Nintendo officially confirmed its existence. Now, the wait is finally over.
Confirming the rumors that had been circulating, the legendary Japanese gaming company has officially announced the Nintendo Switch 2 as the successor to its portable console hybrid.
A short trailer, nearly 2.5 minutes long, showcases the improvements Nintendo has made from the first Switch to the Nintendo Switch 2, particularly in terms of hardware.
You can see enhancements such as magnetic and improved Joy-Cons, which go with the new slot placement system that no longer requires sliding, more comfortable buttons, adjustments to the location of function access, a new kickstand, and the return of the hybrid concept with the dock, now featuring the Switch 2 logo and rounded corners.
Nintendo has confirmed a 2025 release window, though the exact date is yet to be announced. The exciting part? The reveal of the console came with a sneak peek at what appears to be a new Mario Kart game; the Nintendo Switch 2 also ensures backward compatibility with games from the first Switch, so you will have plenty to enjoy even if you are not keen on intense racing action.
A Nintendo Direct to discuss games for the Nintendo Switch 2 is scheduled for April 2, 2025. That should be exciting.
