It looks like Nintendo is dropping hints about the long-awaited Nintendo Switch 2 in a new social media post. Gamers have been eagerly anticipating the official announcement of the next main console from Nintendo ever since president Shuntaro Furukawa confirmed it was in the works last May. The reveal is rumored to happen before the current fiscal year wraps up in March. So far, the only confirmed detail is that the Switch 2 will be backward compatible with games from the original Switch.
There has been a lot of buzz and speculation about the Nintendo Switch 2 in recent months, particularly regarding its reveal date. Reports indicated that Nintendo was set to showcase the Switch 2 in October, but the announcement was delayed to focus on upcoming titles such as Mario and Luigi: Brothership. As 2024 went by, fans still hadn’t seen an official look at the new console, although some supposed images of the Switch 2 were shared online during the holiday period.
Recently, the official Nintendo of Japan Twitter account changed its banner, leading some fans to speculate that the long-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 announcement might be on the horizon. The new banner features Mario and Luigi appearing to point at a blank space, which some Reddit users, such as Possible_Ground_9686 on r/GamingLeaksAndRumours, believe could represent a placeholder for the upcoming console. However, it’s worth noting that others have mentioned this banner has been used by Nintendo before, including as recently as May 2024.
Social Media Banner Change Could Be A Sign of the Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal
As we’ve discussed earlier, there have been numerous leaks that provide clues about the Nintendo Switch 2’s design. The majority of these leaks suggest that it will retain the fundamental design of the original Switch, albeit with some improvements. Additionally, the leaked images of the Joy-Con controllers seem to confirm this, as well as previous speculations about them connecting to the system via magnets.
It’s important to note that none of these rumors and leaks have received official confirmation from the company, so it’s best to take them with a grain of salt until the Nintendo Switch 2 is officially revealed. The exact timing of this eagerly awaited announcement is still up in the air, and we can only speculate when the Nintendo Switch 2 will be available for purchase. All eyes are on Nintendo as it gears up for a new era in 2025.
