In a move that seemed almost like a cheeky nod to all the rumor-spreaders and leakers, Nintendo took the wraps off the much-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 today. With a release slated for 2025, the announcement felt a bit underwhelming. There’s a sneak-peek trailer out, and we’re curious to hear if it piques your interest.
Physically, the console doesn’t serve up many surprises beyond what’s already been leaked online. The video shows off the size changes and a more robust support stand, lingering quite a bit on how the Joy-Cons connect. It’s as if Nintendo is saying, “You’ve leaked the mundane details, but the juicy bits? We’re holding onto those until April!”
Mark your calendars for April 2nd, when Nintendo will roll out a Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation. Right after this, there’ll be a chance to get hands-on with the console at several live events across different locations:
North America:
- New York: April 4-6, 2025

Wondering what games will be showcased at these events? The first-look trailer has given away that a new Mario Kart is in the works. More exciting gaming revelations are surely headed our way during the April 2nd Nintendo Direct. Until then, make sure your Nintendo account is ready if you’re planning to attend.
To join in on the Nintendo Switch 2 Experience, a Nintendo Account is essential. Details on ticket registration will be rolling out soon, so keep an eye on their official channels for updates.
Another headline-making announcement is that the Nintendo Switch 2 will support exclusive games, as well as both physical and digital Nintendo Switch game formats. However, it seems like not every Switch game will be compatible with the new console—Nintendo promises to clarify this later.
