During the Nintendo Direct presentation on April 2nd, 2025, Nintendo gave us an extensive look at the Nintendo Switch 2. However, the presentation also left many details up in the air. In the days following, the gaming community buzzed with speculation, attempts at clarification, and unfortunately, a fair share of misinformation. Nintendo’s penchant for leaving tidbits scattered across various articles and shop listings hasn’t helped. In response, we’ve crafted a comprehensive, well-sourced FAQ that compiles verified information, drawing from Nintendo’s own communications and our direct experience with the Switch 2. We’ll be updating and refining this FAQ as new information surfaces. If you find yourself with lingering questions after going through our FAQ, don’t hesitate to reach out in the comments section or drop a note on our Discord server.

– Part One: Console & System
– Part Two: Switch 2 Games & Upgrades
– Part Three: Storage & Accessories
– Part Four: Nintendo Switch Online, GameChat, and GameShare
– Part Five: GameCube on Nintendo Switch 2 and Future Games
