Those that had signed up for Nintendo’s upcoming Switch 2 experience events are now getting their confirmation emails. Social media X user Connor revealed the email he got from Nintendo in a post. Interestingly, it looks like even those that were unsuccessful in signing up for the event might have a chance of being picked by Nintendo.
In Connor’s case, they will be getting to attend the Switch 2 Experience event in London on April 12, which tracks with the previously-announced schedule for these events from back when Nintendo unveiled the Switch 2. X user Bast_Mate456 has also chimed in with a screenshot of their own confirmation email.
For a brief recap, Nintendo is hosting Switch 2 Experience events in Tokyo, New York, Paris, London, Los Angeles, Berlin, Milan, Dallas, and Toronto. The first of these events will take place on April 4, and cities will be getting the events all the way until June. There will also be events in Hong Kong and Taipei, details of which will be revealed later. For more details on dates, check out our coverage of the events.
Nintendo had unveiled the Switch 2 with a video earlier this month. While scarce on concrete details, the video did give us a great look at the upcoming console, including the fact that it will feature a better, wider kickstand, a new mechanism for attaching and detaching JoyCon controllers, and a generally bigger size for the unit itself, as well as its display.
The company has also revealed that the Switch 2 will be fully backwards compatible with the original Switch for both digital as well as physical copies of games.
Any more details we have about the Switch 2 largely come from leaks, rumours and speculation. One of these indicates that the new console will require more power from the wall when docked; a leaked picture of the Switch 2 dock indicated higher voltage requirements, which is likely necessary for the more advanced hardware powering the system.
As for the hardware itself, the Switch 2 will reportedly run on a newer Nvidia chip, and will even feature its own neural net hardware to be able to run the company’s own take on DLSS-styled image upscaling algorithms. These algorithms would allow the console to display games at higher resolutions than they are being rendered in, going all the way up to 4K.
Nintendo is slated to reveal more details about the Switch 2 in a special Direct dedicated to the console on April 2. Along with giving us a better look at the hardware and some of the console’s new features, the Direct might also showcase some of the new games that Nintendo has been working on for the console’s launch.
There are also several third-party developers rumoured to be working on games for the Switch 2, including Ubisoft, Konami, and even several studios under Microsoft. These rumours include games ranging from Assassin’s Creed Shadows to Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and even Halo: The Master Chief Collection.
In the mean time, here are 15 games that are rumoured to be in development for the Switch 2.
