The myth is coming to an end. After years of speculation for an imaginary Switch Pro and a few months of intense leaks for the supposed Switch 2, the reveal of Nintendo's next console has finally taken place. The Kyoto firm had promised us an appointment before March 2025, and it is now done. It is through a short trailer published by surprise that the machine lifted the veil on its true design. The speculations, rumors and leaks end on a bitter note: the console looks exactly like the stolen images. But the best is yet to come. coming soon.
After a preview of what appears to be the new Mario Kart, Nintendo is giving us a more detailed Nintendo Direct in three months. The games, system software, and the Switch 2 release date will all be revealed on April 2 at 3 p.m. (French time). This means that the console will not be released as quickly as some leakers suggested. The launch won't take place before May at the earliest.
What should we expect from the April Direct?
The latest rumors were right: Nintendo was content to present the console briefly in order to organize a more detailed Direct in the coming months. This meeting will be an opportunity to learn everything there is to know about the machine. The video shared today already allows us to get some clues about the content of this future presentation. Sliding the new Joy-Cons across a flat surface seems to confirm the new “mouse” mode, while an early clip of the new Mario Kart suggests that big titles are planned at launch.
Once again, the Kyoto firm also reiterates that the Switch 2 will be fully backward compatible with titles from the first Switch. Enough to facilitate the transition to the new platform. Remember to keep an eye on your usual retailers, who will certainly offer trade-in deals for your old console. The end of the teaser specifies that Switch 2 hands-on events will be organized around the world, similar to what was offered in 2017. In Paris, the meeting is set from April 4 to 6, as revealed on the Nintendo website. To register, you will need a Nintendo account, but a Switch Online subscription is not mandatory. We can't wait to find out what's hidden under the hood of this machine that sells dreams. More or less powerful than the Xbox Series S? The bets are on.
