Other highly anticipated titles for the console include Pokémon Legends: Z-A, Metroid Prime 4, and a new 3D Mario game.

The first confirmed game for the Switch 2 is a new Mario Kart title, which may allow for up to 24 players in a single race.

Nintendo officially unveiled the Nintendo Switch 2 in January 2025, showcasing key features such as magnetically attached joy-cons and a larger display.

The console is set to launch in 2025, with a Nintendo Direct scheduled for April 2 to provide further details.

Following the Nintendo Direct event, pre-orders for the Switch 2 are expected to open, mirroring trends from the original Switch's launch.

Leaked prototype components reveal impressive features, including 256GB storage, HDMI 2.1 ports, and significant performance enhancements over the original Switch.

The design of the Switch 2 boasts a more mature aesthetic, featuring a larger display and redesigned joy-cons aimed at reducing the notorious 'joy-con drift'.

Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa hinted that the Switch 2 could be more affordable than anticipated, with analysts estimating a price around $400.

An Italian retailer has listed the Switch 2 at €389.99, suggesting it may be slightly more expensive than the current Switch OLED model.

Speculation includes a placeholder price of $499.99 CAD from a Costco Canada employee, although this figure may not be accurate.

Insider speculation suggests a potential release date in late May or early June 2025, following global hands-on experience events in April and May.

While technical specifications remain largely unconfirmed, leaks indicate the use of a new Nvidia Tegra chip with improved RAM and potential 4K support.
