Nintendo has released a preview video for the Switch 2, which will be released this year.

Nintendo has released a preview video for the Switch 2, which will be released this year.

The eagerly awaited announcement has finally arrived, even though I was about to give up on it happening. Nintendo formally unveiled the Nintendo Switch 2 today, January 16, 2025.

Despite having a larger display, better internal hardware, and larger Joy-Cons that attach and detach magnetically rather than sliding on rails, the successor to the Nintendo Switch has a remarkably similar appearance.

Additionally, the video immediately announces the debut of a new Mario Kart game on the Switch 2! Naturally, that is not shocking, but it is good to know that there will not be a single console release. We were given a potential release date but no other launch games were revealed.

The Nintendo Switch 2 will be available when?

The trailer ends with the date April 2, 2025, which is not too far off. Less than three months remain before then! However, it is unknown if this is the console’s release date.

The date is listed in the trailer as “Nintendo Direct,” therefore it seems likely that a Switch 2 presentation will take place on that day. Whether Switch 2 will be introduced right away is unknown. Given that Nintendo has scheduled so-called “experience events” across North America from April 4 to April 27, some people think a release toward the end of April or the beginning of May is more likely. In any case, the console will be available sooner rather than later.

The price of the Switch 2, which is expected to be around $399.99 and marginally more expensive than its predecessor, has not yet been disclosed by Nintendo. If its performance can match that of an Xbox Series S or Valve’s Steam Deck, then a price increase would be justified.

Specifications of the Nintendo Switch 2

More details about the Nintendo Switch 2 will likely be released on April 2, but a lot has already been leaked, some of which were from Nintendo itself.

For instance, the system will support Switch games backward and feature an OLED display. Regarding hardware, the precise specifications (as of this writing, they have not been confirmed):

  • With Joy-Cons attached, it measures 10.67 x 4.58 x 1.24 inches or around 271 x 116.4 x 31.4 millimeters.
  • 8.4 inches, or roughly 213 millimeters, is the display size.
  • Processor speeds are 998.4 MHz (docked) and 1,100.8 MHz (handheld).
  • Graphics speed: 1,007.25 MHz (docked) and 561 MHz (handheld)
  • RAM speeds are 3,200 MHz (docked) and 2,133 MHz (handheld).
  • RAM bandwidth: 102.40 GB/s (docked) and 68.26 GB/s (handheld)
