Why? Because there are rumors flying everywhere that Nintendo is going to reveal the Switch 2 on Thursday, with the games and release date and improvements on the Switch. Walmart Canada Gaming might have tipped that this was happening with a two-word post on X (formerly Twitter): “Hey, Mario” and a photo of Mario peering around a curtain.

Nintendo's announcement for the release date of the Nintendo Switch 2 has been seemingly confirmed by Walmart.

We're due for a new Nintendo Switch. The current model has performed valiantly for the last seven years but it's much showing its age in terms of processing power.

Why is everybody expecting the Switch 2 reveal today? It all started back on January 13, when multiple outlets corroborated reports from industry commentator Nate the Hate that Nintendo was preparing to release a Switch 2 trailer on January 16, 2024.

Nintendo of America famously tweeted an invitation to watch the first Switch preview trailer. Is history repeating for the Switch 2?

If you didn’t already know everything there is to know about the Switch 2, Nintendo may finally offer an official peak behind the curtain.

For nearly eight years, the Nintendo Switch has found a huge foothold in the gaming world, coming dangerously close to having sold 150 million lifetime units at the time of writing.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is closer than ever but I can't but hope Nintendo learns from its past to make the successor all it possibly can be.

Nintendo announced it would share details of the successor to the Switch by the end of the fiscal year, in other words before the end of March 2025. Speculation and rumours have been in overdrive since then with a handful of official announcements scattered in between them all.
