​

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.

Awesome!!! Finally Nintendo Switch 2!

People can use old Switch games on Nintendo Switch 2 hardware.

Opposite to Nintendo DS to Nintendo 3DS use similar cart slot.

The general public is never ever gonna notice the differernce between Switch & and 2, I predict a Wii-U-like disaster.

yep, because the 3DS and GBC were such catastrophic sales failures bcz they were "too similar" stfu

Well happy that's out of the way was getting sick and tired of all the Bs and silly arguments, but April direct that means this thing is still dragging its feet for a launch date. I mean damn the demand is now get the ball rolling Nintendo I want my games running better now Nintendo really holding out to sell as many Switch 1 to hoping to push it to some serious numbers

Also hoping to see Ocarina of Time remake or The first Zelda redone in a Links Awaking style this year... I mean they dropped enough hints about how younger generations don't know certain characters.

and there you have it they couldn't even be fucked making something new. they did exactly what sony did with the ps5 pro. what an absolute fucking joke and i was right from the very start. don't ever doubt me again!

It's basically the same thing, at least visually. It's a big old yawn from me...

 

[tommasi]

Bowser is plotting something new lol JK

The click 2

 

[ertre]

Hey guys, should I apply to be a graphic designer at Nintendo?

 

[TheStonedModder]

All I wanted to do was be able to buy this before tarrifs hit the US

They could had went with the Switch 1’s codename “NX” instead, that would had been much cooler.

 

[NinStar]

This console will flop hard.

 

[samke]

Months? More like years of useless leaks. I remember switchforce clown that was pushing this console for many years and he's gonna say he was right the whole time. Seriously tho Nintendo delaying stuff made some YT-ers a lot of money from nothing

Why?

 

[tpax]

Okay, so, after the initial excitement, I realized the Switch 2 will probably come with a regular LCD screen, right? No OLED?

If that's the case, I'm out. I'm not gonna play games on a shitty LCD screen in 2025.

 

[DJPlace]

i'm going call it 400 dollars off the bat.

You're so right... I can't wait for it and I'm glad Nintendo is renewing its catalogue, but this name is such a disappointment.

Guess it will be emulated quite fast

you guys are creepy asf. And don't forget that Switch emulation was made possible thanks to the exploits on the system.

 

[GengarsGhostlyGiggles]

kinda sad they didn't go with the nintendo switch blade

 

[Jayinem]

That was the lamest reveal I've ever seen. Looks just like the first Switch but slightly bigger. They should have revealed games with it, even if they had to wait. No one cares if the console and joycons are half an inch longer, it is just about the games and the graphics.

 

[TooManyControllers]

I hope my controllers still work on the Switch 2

 

[plasturion]

Wow, Switch 2 already. I feel so triggered.
