According to gaming website VGC, the Nintendo Switch 2 is likely to be revealed in a “two-part” format. The first part will reportedly focus on the console itself, detailing hardware features without exploring the software offering in depth. This would be followed by a second trailer at a later date, showcasing the upcoming library.
This aligns with the strategy the company employed with the original Nintendo Switch. You may remember that the console was first shown off in a three-and-a-half-minute trailer on October 20, 2016. We saw many of the console’s features in action, plus a handful of upcoming games that were briefly visible. on several screens throughout.
This was followed by a more complete reveal on January 13, 2024, which introduced us to upcoming games like Arms and Splatoon 2.
It seems very plausible that Nintendo would choose to take a similar approach this time around, potentially showing off features like the rumored Joy-Con mouse-like optical sensors. This could be a very exciting week for Nintendo gamers.
