So did anyone watch it? Kinda boring
@R4gn4r0k: Luckily it seems like the third party accessories are ready for launch already. Hopefully there will be good Joy Con 2 replacements, because again they look flat and don't have good hand grips. I wonder if the analog sticks are higher profile and feel better this time?
@nirgal: I agree :( I was hoping for more than we already knew.
Everyone is now in a new Switch Reveal thread
Lol, they shadow dropped the reveal teaser/trailer. One thing I can say is that Nintendo didn't show a fully digital SKU in the reveal trailer and I respect that.
What we know is the New Mario Kart game, unknown if it will be 9 or X, but it seems to be a Day 1 Launch title. The first time Mario Kart is a day 1 launch title.
@FireEmblem_Man: Hopefully there will be a stacked lineup, but Mario Kart could carry this thing for the first six months if they wanted to be lazy.
That seems to be the case, from what others analyzed, the new Mario Kart seems to go up to 24 players and running at 60 FPS. I really wish we still get a new F-Zero game for it

The first Twitter link that @SolidGame_basic put up on the first page here shows "Now Playing: MKX" but I thought Mario Kart 8 was the last Mario Kart game? They skipping 9 or I'm missing something here

It's due to Mario Kart Tour on mobile phones, we're not sure if that is considered an official main title. If not, then I would call the new Mario Kart 9, otherwise X(10) would make more sense.

Ohhh I forgot about Mario Kart Tour on the phones...yeah X(10) would make more sense...looks cool though I'm interested in seeing more in April
Possible Software window for 2025, including some cross-gen titles and 3rd party support.
First Party titles:
Confirmed: Mario Kart (tentative title)
3rd Party Games Speculation
Possible titles of big name AAA 3rd party games, apparently the new hardware will make it easier for big games to come to the Switch 2 at fraction of the price, especially when Nintendo did buy out Shiver Entertainment with the purpose of helping 3rd parties to port games over to the Switch 2.
Rumored: Starfield, Halo: MCC, Diablo IV, and it seems more 3rd Parties will jump into the Switch 2 bangwagon
@FireEmblem_Man: I'm super excited for Switch 2's launch lineup, I just know it will be good! Only question is.. will they go all out on Day 1, or will they spread it out through the end of the year?
Thread has been updated, will try to get this with latest info and rumors
Works for me. Any updates on existing threads (and not just a bump necro thread without a solid reason) won't be locked.
Thank you sir!

I think they will! New Mario Kart, plus possibly Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, and a lot of 3rd party games. I think a new 3D Mario is coming this year but as a holiday title like Odyssey.
Oh snap?

Hell yeah! I’m ready for a new 3D Mario game and Legend of Zelda remake. Day mother****ing one baby!
Oh snap?

I hope it's not BOTW. That's the rumour I heard. It's only 1 gen old....though it's also 8 years old. God damn the Switch had a long run. If they are going to remaster/Remake a Zelda, hopefully it's one that could actually do with a bit of an overhaul. Maybe a proper full remake a Zelda 2. Or a new crossbow trainer 😋.
On a related note: I wonder how Nintendo is going to treat running Switch games on the Switch 2. Will be it a bit like the Wii/Wiiu Situation where the Switch 2 will basically act like a Switch and games will still just run at switch levels of performance/fidelity. Or will they get a perf/res boot just by running on the Switch 2?
I can't see Nintendo patching a bunch of Switch games for free (But it would be nice). I could definitely see them take the Sony approach though and offer Switch 2 upgrades to Switch games for a fee. They did that with the VC when jumping from the Wii to the Wii U too I think.
plz psyonix update rocket league for new switch 2 i love that game but it doesn't run that great on switch
Why the big bezels again? They got it perfect with the OLED switch 🤔
The Switch OLED screen is a luxury/premium item.
Oh snap?

I hope they find a way to upscale the Switch games, so many games that need it lol. Like Bayonetta 3 and Astral Chain!
Doom: The Dark Ages is coming to the Switch 2, but cannot be announced officially until April's direct
https://www.resetera.com/threads/extas1s-doom-dark-ages-is-coming-to-switch-2-cant-be-revealed-until-nintendo-greenlits-announcement.1091676/
Won't be surprise if they added a doll of Isabelle from Animal Crossing as an Easter egg for the Switch 2 version
@FireEmblem_Man: we need a counter to how many days until the Direct lol
Now why do you want that? I'm sorry but even I'm not excited about Switch 2 because we're only just 3 Months away from Nintendo Direct and there's really not much to discuss until then.
But hey, don't let me rain on your parade. I'm down for a counter but 3 Months is a long time...when you don't think about it till April arrives unnoticed.

Well.. it’s not exactly 3 months, it’s 66 days lol. That’s why we need a counter!!
Yeah, while I’m super hyped for more Switch 2 stuff I’m not going to sit around and keep track of the days. That just makes it take longer. 😅
I did not get selected for the Switch 2 experience! Ah well, was probably going to be lame anyway lol
@jaydan: with the 3d slider and a stylus? Yes
Oh ****, I forgot the full name of Nintendo's next console. It's the
New Nintendo Switch 2 Oled 4K 3DS XL U SP
Nintendo is really getting carried away with these names.
You forgot Mii

The price of the Switch 2 hardware will take into account numerous factors, including Nintendo’s trademark affordability, its president has said.
Join us on April 2nd at 6am PT for #NintendoDirect: Nintendo Switch 2 – 4.2.2025, where we will share a closer look at #NintendoSwitch2.
