When will we finally get to see the official reveal of the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2? As the days go by, more details are being leaked online, leaving fans eager for more information. It seems like it's only a matter of time before Nintendo themselves make the big announcement and reveal the console's design and games.
According to reports, Nintendo has promised to make a formal announcement by the end of March. However, rumors are circulating that we may get some news sooner rather than later. This has caused fans to constantly check Nintendo's social media accounts in anticipation.
In the meantime, fans have been scouring the internet for any additional information about the Switch 2. Recently, a patent filed by Nintendo in 2023 was discovered, shedding some light on potential features of the console. The patent discusses a technology similar to DLSS, which could improve the resolution and graphics of games on weaker hardware.
While the patent doesn't explicitly mention the Switch 2, it aligns with previous rumors about the console. In 2023, there were reports of Nintendo testing the console with DLSS technology, which was also used in the Unreal Engine 5 demo for The Matrix Awakens. This has led to speculation about the potential for games made with Unreal Engine 5 to be played on the Switch 2.
While there is no concrete information about the power of the Switch 2, rumors suggest it may be less powerful than the PlayStation 4 Pro or on par with the Xbox Series S. In order to achieve 4K visuals, it would make sense for the console to incorporate upscaling technology.
Interestingly, the patent also mentions the possibility of using this technology to reduce game sizes to fit on smaller capacity physical media. For example, a game with 4K textures could be downscaled to fit on a cartridge, and then upscaled to its original resolution in real-time on the console.
As we wait for more information, leaks continue to surface. Recently, pictures of the Switch 2's motherboard were posted on Reddit, and accessory company Genki has promised to discuss new products for the Switch 2 at CES 2025. However, it's uncertain if these leaks will push Nintendo to reveal the console sooner or if we'll have to wait until the end of March.
The release date for the Switch 2 is still unknown, adding to the mystery surrounding the highly anticipated console. Fans can stay updated by subscribing to our newsletter, following us on Twitter, and leaving a comment below. To easily submit letters and features, use our Submit Stuff page.
