The worst kept secret, Nintendo Switch 2 is coming out in 2025, as per a brief announcement video. There will be another event, April 2nd, which will go over details, such as chipset, new changes, and, most importantly, pricing. I am guessing the Switch 2 will be in stores, for sale, this Summer 2025… a full eight years since they launched the first Switch.

Based on the video, here is what I can speculate:

It’s slightly bigger
Two USB-C (top and bottom)
Wide and stable kickstand
A new “C” button
Joy-Cons can be used like a mouse
Joy-Cons snaps on instead of sliding
Mario Kart 9
Exclusive Switch 2 games
Backward compatible with original Switch

The short video confirms a lot of things we’ve already knew about through various online leaks. What we still don’t know, and what I’m most interested in finding out, is the price of the Switch 2. A lot of rumors are suggesting $400, but I think it’s going to be a lot more. I wouldn’t be surprised if they announced that it’ll be $500… after all, this is the same company that released a $100 alarm clock. You read that right, Alarmo, the new Nintendo alarm clock is $100.
