While we still await concrete details about the much-anticipated game, Nintendo has taken the lead by releasing a captivating two-minute trailer for its upcoming console.
Nintendo Switch 2 Trailer Unveiled
The wait is finally over! Nintendo has put an end to the rumors and speculation that have dominated social media in recent weeks with a brand-new trailer showcasing the Nintendo Switch 2. The trailer, which is available on their official YouTube channel, sets the stage for an exciting Nintendo Direct presentation scheduled for April 2, 2025.
While we’re eager to learn the console’s pricing and official release date, we may need to bide our time for a few more months. In addition to the Direct event, Nintendo is planning an Experience Tour, allowing fans around the globe to get hands-on experience with the new console, hinting that its launch may not occur until mid-June.
What Games Will Accompany the Nintendo Switch 2?
The trailer offers a glimpse of some impressive features, including a larger screen that rivals the size of popular handhelds like the Asus ROG Ally and Steam Deck. The redesigned Joy-Cons now feature a magnetic system and a new ‘C’ button positioned at the bottom right. Changes to the dock and a definitive ‘Nintendo Switch 2’ logo were also revealed, reassuring fans that backward compatibility for games will be retained.
The burning question on everyone’s minds is: what titles will launch alongside the Nintendo Switch 2? While we await more technical details during the upcoming Direct, the trailer hinted at a mysterious new Mario Kart, possibly the long-awaited MK9, featuring fresh tracks and exciting new boosts.
For context, the original Nintendo Switch was unveiled back in October 2016 with a 3-minute trailer that showcased Zelda: Breath of the Wild, a major launch title that debuted in March 2017. However, the pricing details were only disclosed shortly before the console’s release.
In addition to Mario Kart, fans are eagerly anticipating titles like Pokémon Legends Z-A and Metroid Prime 4. According to some leaks, potential launch titles include MGS Delta, RDR 2, Metaphor ReFantazio, Tekken 8, Visions of Mana, AC Shadows, The Division, Rainbow Six Siege, and the Mario Rabbids Collection.
As the official announcement of the Switch 2 draws near, we hope to see glimpses of these games released at a later time, particularly the much-talked-about Mario Kart 9, which many believe could be available at launch.
