The announcement doesn’t come as a surprise—especially in the wake of CES 2025, where several peripheral makers were bold enough to display replicas of the unrevealed hardware to showcase their Switch 2 accessories—but you might be shocked at just how closely the upcoming Switch 2 sticks to the form and function of its predecessor.

Nintendo didn't showcase a game lineup with its Switch 2 reveal, so this wishlist represents a fraction of the titles we hope will be available on day one.

Nintendo at last unveiled its successor to the popular Switch console on Thursday, a major moment for the video game industry that will arrive sometime this year. The release of a new console will be a key milestone in Nintendo’s history after the company released the Switch in 2017 to fanfare and acclaim.
