Nintendo Switch 2 announced by Nintendo

​


After months of countless leaks, Nintendo has finally lifted the curtain on the highly anticipated successor to the Nintendo Switch.

In a short teaser trailer we are given a brief look the new system unsurprisingly titled the Nintendo Switch 2. We also get a glimpse at a new Mario Kart game running on the system and confirmation of backwards compatilbility with Nintendo Switch software and game cards.

We also see the new joycons being pushed along like a traditional computer mouse, further fueling the rumor that the joycons will support a "mouse mode".

Alongside the new trailer, a Nintendo Direct focused on Switch 2 has also been announced for April 2nd.

No news about "the last Switch 1 game" to release being a fucking Fire Emblem?

No news about Halo on Switch 2? (XBOX games for Nintendo Switch 2)

What a disgrace.
Tempy deserves some whipping :whip:

Mario kart 9 is going to be the Zelda game of the switch 2 because usually when Zelda is being released on new console gets it’s with current gen. That being the case I will get Mario kart 9 on my current switch. Well just need to wait till they actually announce the game if they didn’t already because I can’t really go by the video, if that’s the actual game.

I think the timing is such that Nintendo won't do the Twilight Princess/Breath of the Wild dual-gen strategy. The Switch ended up with two mainline open-world Zelda's, and both of those games take 40+ hours to complete.

A third mainline open-world Zelda on the Switch might dissuade customers from buying a Switch 2, and Nintendo needs to push harder on software to convince customers to buy "the newer, better Switch."

It goes back to the issue of doing a direct successor to a previous console with minimal (or no) gimmicks.
