It happened! If you’ve been waiting patiently for the Nintendo Switch 2 announcement on Thursday, January 16 2025, the gaming company delivered with a teaser trailer for the sequel to its other handheld device.
THE BEST GAMES FOR THE SWITCH: What are the best titles?
That’s right, the Switch 2 is coming soon, and per the trailer, there are changes coming to the device that I think make it better than the original (and you’d hope that was the case if you want people to buy it).
So what’s the deal? When are we getting it? Here’s what we know from the trailer, which you can watch below:
What’s different about the Switch 2 from the Switch?
Good question! It seems like the screen is bigger, the controllers are bigger, and you can lean the screen with a kickstand of sorts if you don’t feel like holding it in your hands.
The controllers snap in instead of slide in. So there’s that.
When is the release date for the Switch 2 in 2025?
That we don’t know. What we do know is they teased a Nintendo Direct, where hopefully we’ll learn about the release date and what games are coming. That would be April 2, 2025.
What games will be available for the Switch 2?
Again, no word. But we did see a glimpse of a Mario Kart game. I can’t tell if that’s Mario Kart 8 Deluxe or not.
