Labo and ring fit would be my guess.

Yeah, this is what I was thinking.

Also some people are speculating 24 racers in a race for the new Mario Kart.

Going by the markings on the start of the race

Hugh, well that was underwhelming. Lets hope nintendo can show something killa in april because atm this just seems like a switch pro



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

No surprises that the leaks for the design seem to line up with what was shown.
I'm not sure where that info that the joycons can function as a mosue came from, but that seems to be true as well.

Hopefully we'll see more games than Mario Kart on 2025.02.04 whenever that is, thanks to America insisting on jumbling the date order unlike how the rest of the world has it.
Hopefully February since April feels too far away.

~Edit~
I see now it specifically says April on their website. So it is April.

I thought it was February too but the Switch 2 Experience is in April

Yeah I just saw the trailer on the UK Nintendo YT account, and there it said 2025.04.02

So it is indeed April.
That's quite a long wait.

Maybe they planned to reveal Switch 2 a bit closer to that date, but moved it up due to all the leaks getting out of hand.

Now we just need price and specs

And the official release date (along with preorder date)

Are you thinking Q3 or Q4 release? With a direct coming only in April I think there is no way it's coming in first half of the year

Closer to Q3.

There was a earlier rumor of a May or June release too.

They wouldnt want to wait too long because Switch 1 sales are gonna drop (unless they do price cuts or retailers do price cuts to clean out stock).
