• 6 new games to play in February 2025
• 7 details about the Nintendo Switch 2 revealed in the first official announcement

The videogame was revealed by the company in January, with a video showcasing its design and some differences compared to the first model (size, Joy-Con controller connection mode, and others). However, it was clear that information was lacking, with the promise that the next content will answer the public’s questions.

For the Nintendo Direct about the Nintendo Switch 2, data on its specifications, games to be launched simultaneously, and its release date are expected. Although the video was short, it was possible to catch a glimpse of the new Mario Kart (which is expected to be one of its flagship titles).

What do we know about the Nintendo Switch 2?

Little information has been officially disclosed about the Nintendo Switch 2 so far. With the presentation video, it is seen that it will maintain its hybrid format and have retrocompatibility with games launched on its predecessor (in physical and digital form). However, the company warns that not all games will be compatible.

Besides, the console will maintain the Nintendo Switch Online service (although without any additional information about changes or new features). Finally, it is confirmed that it will arrive on the market in 2025 and will have a version of the Mario Kart franchise.

Market Expectations

In the gaming industry, many are already expecting the arrival of the Nintendo Switch 2. The CEO of Electronic Arts, Andrew Wilson, has already stated that franchises like Madden NFL and EA Sports FC may be present on the new hybrid console.

Microsoft will also support the launch of the videogame, integrating it into its multi-platform strategy. Rumors already point to Halo: The Master Chief Collection receiving a port, but it remains under wraps. Others indicate that we will also see Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Final Fantasy VII Remake, and other recent releases.

Another aspect that generates curiosity among fans is whether games already promised for 2025 will receive an enhanced version on the Nintendo Switch 2. Among the main names, there are Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and Pokémon Legends Z-A.

The announcement of the Nintendo Switch 2 has moved the company’s position in the market. With the Switch reaching 150 million units sold, the company saw its stock prices rise sharply and has already announced an increase in Nintendo Switch Online values.
