It is at last real
It feels like fans have been waiting thousands of years for prescribed news about the Nintendo Switch 2 . In that time , leak both real and fake have go around the internet , with devotee hoping for anything prescribed . Today is finally that day , as Nintendo uploaded a “ first expression trailer ” for the Nintendo Switch 2 without any fanfare whatsoever .
As would be expected from such a stealthy upload , the trailer does n’t give us many concrete details . We can see that the Switch 2 will be notably bigger than its herald , and the kickstand will also be larger and can lay almost entirely flat . perhaps the most interesting alteration is that the pleasure - cons snap into the sieve horizontally , rather than engage in vertically . This seems to make it easier to attach and separate the joy - con game compared to the summons involve with the original Switch .
While Nintendo is typically known for embracing bright colors on its consoles , the launch Switch 2 shown in the trailer opts for a matte smoky black with only modest pops of redness and blue beneath the joysticks and in the pleasure - cons ’ interior release that snap into the cabinet . This may be to help severalise the Switch 2 from the original Switch — we definitely do n’t desire another puzzling Wii U post to amount about . It does help the Switch 2 look more like its own thing and less like another model like the Lite or OLED .
The trailer appears to confirm that there will be a Mario Kart biz for the Switch 2 , and that the Switch 2 will be able to dally most original Switch games , both physical and digital . However , the Mario Kart game could just be a technical school demonstration , but we stay hopeful .
The system is slated for release in 2025 , and there will be a Nintendo Direct with “ a penny-pinching look ” on April 2 , so it ’s safe to say the console wo n’t turn before then .
There will also be an “ Experience Nintendo Switch 2 ” “ men - on issue ” hold at different locations throughout the United States in April following the Nintendo Direct . The event will be held at Center415 in New York from April 4 to 6 , at Television City in Los Angeles from April 11 to 13 , and at the Embarcadero Building at Fair Park in Dallas from April 25 to 27 . To attend , you must enter a raffle for slate using your Nintendo Account onthe official website .
It may be another long while without any Switch 2 news program , but after what felt like an eternity of waiting for the announcement , the next three calendar month leading up to the Nintendo Direct should go by in a flash .
