IGN notes that Nintendo has not announced a release date or price for the Switch 2, but has said that the console will be available in 2025.
Little is known about the software and games for the new console, although a new Mario Kart game was shown in the debut trailer. Nintendo also confirmed that the Switch 2 will be backwards compatible with previous-gen games (with some exceptions) and promised to reveal more information during a Nintendo Direct on April 2.
Rumors about Nintendo’s next system have been circulating for several years, but they’ve reached a peak in recent weeks, when details about the console’s physical form and even its motherboard began to leak through various accessory manufacturers.
In particular, this information confirms many details, including that the console will essentially be slightly larger than the Nintendo Switch with magnetically connected Joy-Con controllers and the ability to use them like a computer mouse.
Recall that last fall, the original trilogy of Ukrainian STALKER games, consisting of Shadow of Chornobyl, Clear Sky, and Call of Prypiat, became available on the Nintendo Switch console.
