Nintendo Hints at Impending Switch Successor Announcement

Author : Zoe Jan 19,2025

Nintendo's cryptic social media update fuels Nintendo Switch 2 speculation. A recent change to the Japanese Nintendo Twitter banner depicts Mario and Luigi seemingly pointing at an empty space, sparking widespread speculation about an imminent Nintendo Switch 2 reveal. This follows President Shuntaro Furukawa's confirmation of the console's existence and a planned reveal before March 2025.

The anticipation for the Switch 2 has been building since Furukawa's announcement last May. While backward compatibility has been officially confirmed, details remain scarce. Previous rumors suggested an October 2024 unveiling, later postponed, allegedly to prioritize titles like Mario and Luigi: Brothership. Unverified images purportedly showing the Switch 2 also surfaced online.

The updated Twitter banner, featuring Mario and Luigi's seemingly directionless gestures, has ignited debate. Some Reddit users suggest the blank background acts as a placeholder for the upcoming console, while others note the banner's prior use.

The Social Media Clue and Switch 2 Design Speculation

Numerous leaks have circulated regarding the Switch 2's design, generally suggesting a familiar form factor with enhancements. Leaked Joy-Con images appear to support this, hinting at magnetic connectivity. However, all such leaks remain unverified and should be treated cautiously until official confirmation.

The timing of the Switch 2's unveiling and release remains uncertain, leaving Nintendo fans eagerly awaiting further news as the company prepares to launch its next-generation console in 2025.
