Game news The Nintendo Switch 2 launch games would all already be known, there would even be one from the creators of GTA V

An announcement not in March, but this week?

Is Nintendo preparing to end the suspense surrounding the Switch 2? A new rumor, spread by content creator Nate the Hate, is setting the web ablaze: the console could be revealed as soon as this Thursday January 16. This announcement would focus on the hardware rather than a demonstration of the games. An unusual approach for Nintendo, which has a habit of linking its hardware revelations to flagship games. And this famous date of March that we have been hearing for several long months would in fact not be the date of the console’s reveal, but that of the first Switch 2 Nintendo Direct.

I can share with you that the Nintendo Switch 2 will be revealed in the coming week… I have been told that the Switch 2 will be revealed on Thursday, January 16… in just a few days. I’ve heard that the reveal itself will focus almost exclusively on the console itself. There will be no game presentation. There might be some gameplay on screen, depending on how the trailer is put together, but the software won’t be the focus.

The first games revealed?

As a reminder, the Nintendo Switch 2 should have the same capabilities as a PS4 Pro. According to Nate the Hate, the Switch 2 should arrive on the market between May and June 2025a date also supported by the VGC site. The launch would be marked by the release of a new Mario Karta particularly popular series, while a 3D Mario game would enrich the catalog for the end-of-year holiday period. Other titles, such as Assassin’s Creed Mirage from Ubisoft and Final Fantasy VII Remake from Square Enix, are also expected to expand the offering. But the best part of all this is that many media confirm these statements, starting with The Verge and Eurogamer. The latter even carried out his little investigation and thinks he has an initial list of games expected on the machine.

With all these already exciting announcements, we must not forget that Nintendo and its partner studios are themselves still developing many games such as the new Pokémon Legends, the next opus of the adventures of Professor Layton and the New World to steam . Remakes and remasters are also expected, such as Dragon Quest I & II Remake 2D-HD. Finally, the Nintendo Switch 2 should be backwards compatible and therefore allow you to play the entire catalog of the first machine. Be careful however, it must be remembered that you will certainly have to wait until March and a first Nintendo Direct to have the first trailers for the console.
