Board 8 » Nintendo Switch 2 reveal most likely coming Thursday
I still have hope.

Nintendo pls
ph33r teh masta~!
Sometimes plans change. But also every hardware announcement since the original Switch hasnt had an announcement of the announcement so they might just drop the video today.
I just decided to change this sig.
Blaaaaaaargh azuarc
So it's either:

  1. Completely made up
  2. Will be shadow dropped randomly today
  3. Was meant to happen today but Nintendo decided to pull it to spite the leakers.

Apparently people still think it is today.

I don't think Mario Kart will be a launch game either. I love Mario Kart but i don't really see it as a system seller for the people that usually buy systems day 1. Could see it being out in time for Christmas though when people need a game to pair up with it.

Mario Kart never stops selling

Mario Kart sells so well theres no way it isnt a system seller quality title. Like it might not be THE game some gamers would want, but its a perfect launch title candidate with such strong legs it could be charting even 4 years into Switch 2s life
I understand what you mean, but I think after 8 Deluxe that core day 1 audience would also be happy with a new Mario Kart. Usually 3D Marios come within the first year but it has bern a long time since one was available at launch. So not sure what the big launch title could be.

No heads up? just like that?

Well my Mario Kart comment couldn't have come at a worse time.

New Mario Kart!

April 2 is a lot longer than I thought for the Direct. So maybe a May release then.

See, this is why you wait until the day is over before going its not happening today fake news!. See also Jeff Grubb and that one Playstation showcase.

And yeah just in case it was misread my previous post was referring to the leakers holding their ground not meant as like a can you believe people still think its today?, conveying tone over text is hard.

I never expected it to be shadow dropped, very surprised

Glad to see it's backward compatible at least
wololo
so they're really going with "switch 2" huh

that's commitment

this is how we ended up with the playstation 5

o, power of kings
So backwards compatible, I mean there would be riots if it wasn't lol, but the small text said some games won't be so lol anyway. Curious which Switch games won't be.

Nintendo will do that when it is a reiteration of a same concept DS->3DS, Wii->Wii U, etc.

They finally are just doing it in a way that wont confuse people as much.

Right?
We can hope, can't we?

Oh no DK

I can still see confusion calling it a Switch 2. I mean the thing almost looks exactly the same as the original.

I think that's just Nintendo covering its ass in case there are some unforeseen hiccups with a few.
This signature won't change until Chrono Trigger gets a re-release on a modern Nintendo console.
Wonder if you can transfer saves over from Switch to Switch 2.
It's your shooting star, your diamond in the rough! Idol VTuber Hoshimachi Suisei! Sui-chan is~ also cute today~!!
Probably just a select very few games like how PS5 had a couple random PS4 games it couldnt play

I could see ones that rely on certain accessories having issues, like Ring Fit

Yeah I had to check if the youtube account was Nintendo of America or not
February would make more sense but it would also be too good to be true

Dont know why people thought it wouldnt be called Switch 2

Though I think Super Switch would be a cooler name
I find it kinda bussin, I find it kinda cap
That the dreams in which I'm dying are the ones that kinda slap
My bets were on Switch U
Congrats Black Turtle !
Someone reckons the new Mario Kart will feature 24 racers per race based on the starting grid image.

Switch 2 is the correct name. This looks good. If Im going to nitpick I guess Id say MK9 could have been a bigger deal but eh

Oh nooooo should I start worrying about frame rate issues? That feels like it would be a lot going on constantly between the number of racers and items being used, but this should also be a good bit stronger than the Switch so heres hoping theres a lot less noticeable frame drops

I feel like the initial switch announcement just kinda showed a lot of the games (Mario Kart, Splatoon 2, Odyssey) without really giving them spotlight. Maybe it will get its shine during the software direct?

MK8 sold so ridiculously much that it's probably the biggest deal that Mario Kart is avilable right away (presumably). It's fine.

The game looks similar to MK8 and with the Switch 2 rumoured to have a lot of power i can see it running 24 races pretty comfortably. The bigger issue will probably be people with awful internet connections.

I like the DK design, it doesn't look like the movie one to me. Looks more like just a modern take on the original design, which works nicely in a Mario game.

As long as they don't touch DKC.

Why do people keep saying this is called the Switch 2

It's clearly the 2 Nintendo Switch.

You pronounce the logo like Nintendo Switch. Which I guess makes it Nintendo Switch 2 Nintendo Switch.

Blaaaaaaargh azuarc
They smartly made it backwards compatible
1 line break(s), 160 characters allowed
Seeing as Nintendo consoles always release in March or November, I'm guessing it'll be November 2025.
Life before death. Strength before weakness.
Journey before destination.
This trailer also seemed to confirm that you can use the joycons like a mouse which is really cool. It looks like that function works when you put on the joycon straps at 1:10 in the trailer.

Insiders are simply calling this the Wintendo
