MoreDid all the Nintendo Switch 2 leaks spoil the reveal trailer for you?
At long last, Nintendo has officially unveiled its next-generation video game console to the world, which it calls the Nintendo Switch 2. The Kyoto, Japan-based gaming giant unveiled its new two-in-one hybrid device in the form of a short first-look trailer, which is available to watch on its official YouTube channel. The Switch 2, which will be getting its own in-depth conference event on April 2, 2025, appears to be a fairly iterative release overall. As a direct followup to the immensely successful Switch, this successor platform appears to build on the same strong foundations pioneered by Nintendo back in 2017. The core elements of the original Switch are all present here, from the dockable nature of the device, to the card-based physical game media, to full-blown backwards compatibility with original Switch software. Detachable controllers and a kickstand for tabletop gameplay have also made the cut once again. Ahead of this much-anticipated teaser video, there was an abundance
What game would you like to see on the Switch 2?
This morning. after months of speculation, Nintendo finally took the wraps off the Switch 2, giving gamers their first official look not only at the new hardware, but also a forthcoming Mario Kart title, which is rumored to be launching alongside the new console later this year. While details around the new Mario Kart title have not been shared, rumors are swirling about new titles that could appear on the Switch 2, including Metaphor Re:Fantazio, an untitled Halo game featuring Master Chief, Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, and even the upcoming GTA VI. With that in mind we'd love to know, what games would you love to see on Nintendo's newest console? Sound off below!
Nintendo would really, really like you to stop using this "unauthorized" service
After more than a decade, in 2024, Nintendo officially shut down the online servers for its legacy Wii U console. Though this was a sad day for those still clinging to Nintendo's failed Wii sucessor, retro gaming enthusiasts were quick to find a way to work around the server shutdown and keep the lights on for several popular online-enabled Wii U titles, including the original Mario Kart 7, with a popular service called Pretendo leading the way. And while the unauthorized service has been humming along just fine over the past few months without incident, Nintendo randomly issued a statement this week asking players to "refrain" from using unofficial services that allow them to continue playing Wii U titles online. This is definitely a strange time to make this announcement, but perhaps since all eyes are on Nintendo for another reason, perhaps they wanted to capitalize on all the extra attention. Have you used "unauthorized" services like Pretendo to play retro games before?
