In a Nintendo Direct on April 2nd, 2025, we finally got a closer look at the much-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2. While the presentation was packed with excitement, it also left a heap of questions hanging in the air. Since then, the internet has been buzzing with speculation, attempted clarifications, and unfortunately, a boatload of misinformation. With several vital details left either largely unexplained or scattered across various articles and shop listings, we’re stepping in to help. We’ve crafted a comprehensive FAQ that aims to cut through the noise, offering verified, trustworthy information largely sourced from Nintendo’s own statements and our direct experience with the Switch 2. We’ll keep updating this FAQ as new insights surface. If after going through this, you still have questions, please don’t hesitate to drop a comment on our site, join the conversation on Talkback, or hit us up on Discord.
