Nintendo Switch 2 FAQ: Answering All Your Questions with Verified Sources

In an exciting development, Nintendo pulled back the curtain on the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 during a Nintendo Direct presentation on April 2nd, 2025. However, the event left gamers buzzing with questions. Details were surprisingly sparse, leading to a swirl of assumptions and even misinformation spreading across various platforms in the week that followed. With Nintendo keeping certain specifics under wraps or scattered throughout countless articles and store listings, we decided to step in and bring some clarity. We’ve compiled a comprehensive FAQ filled with verified details from Nintendo and our own hands-on experience with the Switch 2. We aim to keep this FAQ up-to-date and thoroughly informative, so it will be continually updated as new information surfaces. If you still have questions after reading through, feel free to reach out in the comments on our site, join the conversation on Talkback, or drop us a message on Discord.
