This time next week, we will know a lot about the Nintendo Switch 2. A new Nintendo Direct Showcase, which is dedicated to the top secret handheld console, will be broadcast on Wednesday, April 2. The presentation will feature new sports, hardware details and more than that.
Before the event, we have a long list of questions that Nintendo still needs to answer. Here are some of the biggest unknown persons about switch 2.
Some of the biggest questions we are expecting will be directly focused on all around Nintendo New Joy Controllers. As has been told earlier, will they have a hall effect Joyce Sticks? And does this mean that stick is a thing of a growing past?
What will the rumor mouse control features? More importantly, do Joey Cannes actually feel like mice? Will the players need a dedicated mouseing level, or will a coffee tabletop or sofa level be sufficient?
The important thing is, how do new, great happiness feel in hand? Will they work big shoulder buttons and we hope too? And what does the new “C” button do on the right joy?
The switches were a very radical restoration for the Joey-Kon sports controllers, both revolutionary and quite poor. That is why Joey (2.0) controllers will be so interesting to see the full revelation, to see how Nintendo moves its design and fixes the original version shortages.

Officially, we only know about a Nintendo -developed game that is coming to Switch 2 at this location: a new Mario Cart Game. But allegedly Nintendo is creating a strong library of internalized switch 2 games, and while we have some ideas about which giant teams can work on what franchisees can work, Nintendo is excellent in maintaining secrets and providing surprises.
Is the current General Switch Games being developed keeping in mind, which means that they will support high resolutions and better frame rates?

In fact, I think we are all wondering which Nintendo franchises will show during the first year of switch 2. Will Nintendo have a new 2D or 3D Mario ready for launch?
Beyond franchisees, probably the most interesting thing that is not yet the front is the equivalent of Switch 2 Wii SportsFor, for, for,. NintendolandAnd 1-2 switch – A game or game that will show what the new system is worth and what is the difference with the original switch.
Third party and indi game
Which third party will show for switch 2? And how strongly? Both Microsoft and Ubisoft appear to step into the switch 2 with a long line of AAA Games, which may not fit on the switch, but looks like a great fit for the switch 2.
Microsoft has expressed public interest in switch 2, namely franchises, such as Hallow, Call of Duty, Forza, and Fallout, can perform a great performance on the new console of Nintendo. If Microsoft is embracing switches fully, it can be a windfall not only for the Xbox maker, but also for Nintendo’s fans, who will have a large, wide range of very good franchises to play on their new system.

The Ubysoft Gate has a long -standing supporter of Nintendo Consoles, and has been a back catalog of Hassan’s profession, far away, and Tom Cleansees Games for the past decade, it can reunite for the new and more powerful Nintendo Handheld. Other publishers can follow with segments, cape works, and electronic arts with removals and re -leases. That’s enough to say, AAA game makers have a new tax potentially new tax with Switch 2, and I expect the new system owners to flush with selection.
The Smurgasboard also includes Indy Games. Nintendo has shown strong support for independent game developers during the switch period, with dedicated Indy World Shoes, which I expect to continue on switch 2. Are the switches ready to leave their long -awaited sequels on the Switch Cherry and Superintendent Games Switch 2?
Based on the time of Nintendo’s hand -on events for their sources of console and multinationals, Switch 2 is more likely to be more likely to be the spring end/summer. We have heard that the launch has been planned in early June.
If this is the case, a strong date should be announced in the Nintendo Direct of April. June is just two months away. Retailers will need time to reach high speed and consumers will need to get pre -order for the launch of switch 2.
A big unknown, and one that now feels a little fluid, is the price. While 9 399 seems to be a sweet location for switch 2, a weak yen, volatile component costs, and the uncertainty of risk -related revenue -related revenue pricing by the Trump administration may affect Nintendo’s pricing decisions. Some analysts are likely to predict the higher price – up to $ 499 – and if that’s the case, there will be another question in response: Will Switch 1 owners pay a lot of it?
