January 16th 2025.
Finally, the long-awaited moment has arrived. Nintendo has officially unveiled the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 console, putting an end to months and years of rumors and speculations. As expected, the console will be named simply as Nintendo Switch 2 and is set to hit the markets in 2025. However, the exact release date and price are yet to be revealed.
The console bears a striking resemblance to its predecessor, the Nintendo Switch, but with a few notable upgrades. It is slightly larger and more powerful, with some new gimmicks that have been the subject of many leaks and predictions. One of these features is the use of Joy-Cons as computer mice, a concept that has been circulating for quite some time now.
The reveal video gave us a glimpse of the new console, showcasing its size, ports, and buttons. The Joy-Cons are noticeably bigger and can be used as computer mice, although it was not demonstrated which games will take advantage of this feature. While there were shots of the new dock and stand, there was no indication of any unusual functions they may have.
However, it is possible that Nintendo is keeping some surprises for later, as there were a few details that were not highlighted in the video. For example, a new button on the bottom of the right Joy-Con was briefly shown, but not mentioned as a new feature. It was also not labeled in the video, leaving us to speculate its purpose.
Now, the burning question on everyone's mind is the release date of Nintendo Switch 2. The video ended with a promise of a Nintendo Direct on April 2nd, which may give us more information about the console and its games. Additionally, the Nintendo UK website has announced a Nintendo Switch 2 Experience event in London from April 11th to 13th, giving fans a chance to try out the new console. This could mean that the release date will be sometime after these events, but no specific date was mentioned.
As for the price, there was no information given in the video. It is possible that it will be revealed in the upcoming Nintendo Direct or at a later date. Until then, we can only wait and keep our fingers crossed for an affordable price tag.
