The Nintendo Switch 2 has finally been announced, and it will launch sometime in 2025. It’s bigger than the original Switch, has Joy-Cons that attach to the side of the console, and will be getting a new Mario Kart game — beyond that, Nintendo hasn’t shared a lot more. But the company is planning a Nintendo Switch 2-focused Direct on April 2nd.
The first Nintendo Switch will be a tough act to follow. With more than 130 million units sold, the hybrid tablet has become the company’s bestselling console to date, besting the Wii, and slowly but surely approaching the DS handheld.
Nintendo infamously followed the Wii with the ill-fated Wii U before turning things around with the Switch. And the console went out on a high note following the release of blockbusters The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Super Mario Bros. Wonder. It seems like the Switch 2 is primed to carry on that legacy, but hopefully we don’t have to wait too much longer after that April Direct for an official release.
