After months of rumors, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa finally confirmed that the nintendo switch 2 is a reality. He also assured that they will reveal more details about him within their current fiscal year, which ends in March 2025.
With its confirmation, many of the rumors are starting to feel more real and we have more of an idea of what to expect with this console. Here we compile what has been said so far and what is most likely to become a reality when this new hybrid console is launched.
The most frequently asked questions about Nintendo Switch 2
What will Nintendo Switch 2 be like?
According to some leaks, the Nintendo Switch 2 is expected to be slightly larger in size than the current OLED model. Still, it’s said to be smaller than Valve’s Steam Deck. So we will still have a fairly portable and apparently more powerful console.
According to Vandal media, which claims to have sources close to its manufacture, this console will have new joy-con models. These will use magnetic technology to attach to the tablet, leaving behind the rails of current versions.
Due to this, the doubt remains as to whether the current joy-cons will be compatible with this new version. They will probably be able to connect via wireless connection, but they will not be able to be used in portable mode.. We will have to wait for official information.
The same medium also assured that pro controls will also work with nintendo switch 2. So you won’t have to worry about getting new ones once it arrives. This doesn’t sound so strange, taking into account that even Xbox and PlayStation made the controls of their past generations compatible with their current consoles.
When is Nintendo Switch 2 released?
Different quite reliable sources reported that the Nintendo Switch 2 was planned to launch at the end of 2024. However, Nintendo made the decision to delay its release until early 2025. There is no exact date yet.
Some predictions and comments from Furukawa himself They imply that it will not arrive before April 2025. After all assured that they are not taking the Nintendo Switch 2 into consideration within the profit forecasts for their current fiscal year. That means that we will have to wait for the next one, which begins in April 2025 and ends in March 2026. But obviously it will not arrive for two years.
In addition to these comments, there are still several games from the original Switch announced for next year, with no mention of them being intergenerational. One of them is Pokémon Legends: ZA which does not have an exact release date but was announced for 2025.
Perhaps in its official reveal we will already know the release date of Nintendo Switch 2. We bet that it will be released in May 2025 to take advantage of the summer holidays and have a boom in sales.. But of course the company will have the final say.
What games will come out on Nintendo Switch 2?
As for the games that will come out on Nintendo Switch 2, there are very few rumors and information. However, based on the company’s console past, we could expect it to have at least one Mario game for release..
Virtually every Nintendo console launches with either a Zelda game or a Mario game. Our bets are on the plumber since Link has a fairly recent adventure in the form of Tears of the Kingdom. It’s too early to have another one on the way.
While Mario has been out of the 3D world for quite some time. His last adventure in this format was Super Mario Odyssey beyond 2017. Furthermore, we cannot leave aside that Shigeru Miyamoto said that the next 3D Mario was close in an interview for the film’s premiere. They’ve probably been working on it secretly for a while and want to release it with the Nintendo Switch 2.
A rumor recently emerged that on this new console we will see three new different Pokémon games arrive. One of them will be the one that starts the tenth generation with new creatures and changes in gameplay. Since it is a very profitable saga, and one of the company’s best-known, it makes sense for this rumor to become a reality.
Finally there are also rumors that Metroid Prime 4 It will finally see the light of day. TOOthers will supposedly be one of the first intergenerational games, since it would come out on both Nintendo Switch 2 and its predecessor. I hope it’s true because we already have a lot waiting for it.
What power will it have?
As for its power, it was reported some time ago that the Nintendo Switch 2 was shown off in select media during Gamescom. It was here that they had the opportunity to see the console running an improved version of Breath of the Wild as well as the demo The Matrix Awakens which runs on Unreal Engine 5.
Recently a group dedicated to tracking shipments related to the Nintendo Switch 2 found evidence of components for the console. Thanks to this we know that it will have a pair of 6 GB RAM chips to have a total of 12, with this it will be able to reach a speed of 7,500 million transfers per second. Its predecessor only has 4 GB of RAM, so the increase will be considerable.
There are also possible references to its storage, which will be 256 GB with UFS 3.1. This would give us read speeds of 2100 MB per second. For comparison, the original hybrid only had 32 GB of storage with a read speed of 300 MB per second.
Those who saw it in action mentioned that its power is similar to that of a PS4 or Xbox One. With this in mind we can expect the Ninten
do Switch 2 to receive ports of several games from those generations, since it will have no problem running them. It will undoubtedly be a considerable improvement over its predecessor.
Will Nintendo Switch 2 have backward compatibility?
One of the most common questions about Nintendo Switch 2 is whether it will have backward compatibility and it seems that this will be the case. After all, Shigeru Miyamoto himself said that this would be the case during a conference a few years ago.
Here he said that the creation of video games in a certain way has already been standardized, so his next console would surely have backwards compatibility. In addition, Nintendo recently shared a post on social networks where they committed to doing everything possible to preserve the digital libraries of their players. Surely in preparation for the arrival of this long-awaited successor.
In addition to these comments from the same company, also There are rumors that several Switch games will have their improved version on the next console. Just as PlayStation and Xbox did with some of their titles. Although we do not know if the improvements will be free or paid.
All this information about the Nintendo Switch 2 sounds quite promising. We can’t wait for the official data to be released to find out if these rumors were correct and of course to get excited about what’s to come. Will you buy it when it comes out?
