There's been quite a buzz in the world of Nintendo lately, and for good reason. Fans have been eagerly anticipating the release of the Switch 2, but the recent announcement of Xenoblade Chronicles X coming to the current Switch has caused quite a stir. While some were hoping for a Switch 2 reveal, others see this as a hint that the console may not be released until after the new Definitive Edition of the game drops on March 20, 2025.
It's no surprise that Xenoblade Chronicles X is finally making its way to the Switch, as it's been a highly acclaimed game since its release on the Wii U. Many have speculated that Nintendo was saving it for a rainy day, and this announcement seems to confirm that. But what's even more interesting is the timing of the announcement, which coincided with rumors of a Switch 2 reveal. It's hard to say who has the real insider information when even the most trusted sources seem to have gotten it wrong.
But there's one source that hasn't said anything about the Switch 2 specifically, and that's Samus Hunter. They did, however, mention that Nintendo has many more titles planned for the first console before the launch of the Switch 2. This lends more credence to the theory that the new console may not come until late in the year, possibly as late as early summer or autumn 2025. And while we don't have any specific information about what those titles might be, there have been rumors of more remasters and even some new titles in the works.
In fact, it's been said that Nintendo is encouraging third party publishers to release more remasters on the Switch next year, in order to keep the current console fresh with new content. But with most of the high profile Wii U ports already released, it's possible that Nintendo has some other surprises up their sleeve. And let's not forget about the online title that may also be cross-gen, or the rumored Wii and 3DS titles that could be making a comeback.
With each new announcement, the situation around Nintendo only seems to get more and more confusing. But that's just the way things go in the world of gaming. We can only hope that when the Switch 2 is finally unveiled, it will be worth the wait and not a disappointment. In the meantime, we can look forward to more exciting releases on the current console and stay tuned for any updates on the Switch 2.
