On April 2nd, 2025, Nintendo gave fans a closer look at the Nintendo Switch 2 during their latest Direct presentation. While the reveal brought excitement, it also left many questions unanswered. In the days following, the internet buzzed with speculation, some helpful clarifications, and quite a bit of misinformation. Nintendo has been somewhat cryptic, with some details spread out over various articles and online store listings. To help clear up the confusion, we’ve put together a comprehensive FAQ that draws from verified Nintendo sources and our own hands-on experience with the new console. We plan to update this FAQ as new information becomes available. Should any questions remain after going through it, feel free to drop a comment on our site using Talkback or get in touch through our Discord server.
We last updated the FAQ on Tuesday, April 15th, 2025.
The FAQ is organized into several sections to make navigation easier. Here’s what you’ll find:
– Part One focuses on the console and system itself.
– Part Two delves into the games and upgrades for the Switch 2.
– Part Three covers storage options and accessories.
– Part Four discusses Nintendo Switch Online, GameChat, and GameShare.
– Part Five looks at GameCube games on the Switch 2 and upcoming releases.
You can easily browse through the different parts using the page numbers at the bottom, or simply click on the titles above. We’ve ensured each section is well-sourced, with a strong preference for Nintendo’s official updates and our own investigations. If you think of any questions that aren’t addressed, don’t hesitate to reach out via our social platforms, Discord, or Talkback.
