Half of them have been in the fall, but I doubt Nintendo is attached to that timeline if it makes sense to release earlier. November in particular feels far too late for this release.
@FishyS Now that Nintendo does global releases for their products (especially since they don’t region lock them anymore), it’s gotta come out at the same month for the entire world.
There's no way this thing is coming out any later than June, in my opinion. When do those Switch 2 Experiences stop? Early June or something like that? It would be super weird to have all of those and then wait a couple more months before releasing it.
(I know you weren't saying it's coming in the Fall, I'm just reassuring myself mostly lol)

June is my personal guess also but Nintendo is hard to predict lately. According to the calendar within the Nintendo Today app it looks like May 31 (or June 1 in some time zones) is the final Nintendo experience. So I would think that would rule out May but leave June wide open.

Lately?
I never drive faster than I can see. Besides, it's all in the reflexes.
The Virtual Game Card page revealed there will be “Nintendo Switch 2 Edition” versions of games.
Anyone knows what it means by “Nintendo Switch 2 Edition,” like if it’s a free or small-fee update that can be downloaded when the game is inserted on a Switch 2 or it’s a separate version that has to be bought separately?
I’m hoping for the former but I’m not sure if it will be that.
The worst-case scenario is that they make us pay full price for “Switch 2 edition” games. The best-case is that they offer enhancements for free.
Personally, I think they’re gonna tie it to having an NSO subscription while still letting you piecemeal purchase them if you wish or don’t have NSO. Maybe like 10ish bucks? Hopefully no more than that unless they’re doing a full remaster or something, which for Switch 1 games would be… dystopian to say the least lol (though gaming these days does seem to be like 90% remasters, some not even that old)
When I sit to think about this, though, how many first-party games beyond the obvious ones like BotW, Tears, and maybe the Xenoblade games really need much of an upgrade?

The live events can run parallel with the console's release, as it has happened before, so a May release is not out of the window.
And yeah, unpredictable or not, there is absolutely no way that the console is not launching until the end of June, most likely in the first half.
@MrCarlos46 Definitely seems like a point of discussion for tomorrow. Also before this they've been using the Switch 2 trailer music, what's with this new song? Really hoping they use it on Switch 2 menus or eShop or something.
1. GameChat is a new feature allowing you to do voice chat with friends, C button pulls up a menu for it
2. 256GB storage, 4K support confirmed
3. 3D audio
4. Dock will have an internal fan
Switch 2 cartridges are the same as Switch cartridges, but now in red and faster speeds (the amount of storage in them is still unknown, but it will probably be somewhere between 64 and 100GB this time)
5. Regular microSD cards will not work on Switch 2, you will need the new microSD Express cards
Release Date: June 5, 2025
6. Switch 2 Pro Controller will have the C button and a headphone jack, will cost $89 USD*
Games that will have a Switch 2 Edition: Super Mario Party Jamboree, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, Pokémon Legends: Z-A
7. GameShare is another new feature that allows you to share your game with others like Download Play on DS and 3DS, also works with Switch 1
8. Pricing: $449 USD* on its own, $499 USD* with Mario Kart World
9. Nintendo will make a cheaper Japanese-only variant for Japan, while selling the global version at a higher price on the Japanese My Nintendo Store
*Pricing will vary around the world
The pricing is just driving me away from getting it at launch, might wait to November to get it.
