Okay, so here goes nothing. Picture this: I’m sitting here thinking about Nintendo’s latest move — the Switch 2. Someone out there, some investor, is like, “Meh, where’s the wow?” And I’m like, hang on, what’s Nintendo gotta say about this? Turns out, they’ve got their reasons.
So, apparently, they started cooking up plans for this new gizmo back in 2019 — yeah, right around the time everyone was binge-watching some show or another. Anyway, according to the big cheese, Shuntaro Furukawa, they’re always tinkering with tech stuff. Something about R&D — whatever that means.
Now, here’s the kicker. The Switch we know and kinda love is still going strong, even if it’s got a bit of gray hair now. But times change, folks. Games get snazzier, and the old Switch just can’t keep up with all the flashy new stuff. Enter the Switch 2, with its beefed-up insides to handle those shiny new games like Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza. Side note: Bananza? Really? I guess that’s a thing now.
Moving on — feels like folks are squinting at the new Switch 2, thinking it’s a bit too familiar. But Nintendo’s like, “Nah, we’ve got new stuff under the hood.” It’s all hush-hush, wrapped in creativity and whatnot. They’re aiming to set the bar with this one, making it the go-to gadget for unexpected fun or something. Sounds like marketing spiel, but hey, who am I to judge?
Mark your calendars or something, June 5, 2025 — that’s when the shiny new toy arrives. Price? Well, it’ll set you back a bit: just shy of four hundred quid in the UK, about the same in euros, and marginally less in greenbacks. I guess we’ll see if it’s worth trading in your old Switch. Or maybe just stick with what you’ve got, who knows?
Oh, and there’s some trailer floating around, but honestly, who watches those anymore?
