Summary

  • Nintendo recently changed its Twitter banner to show Mario and Luigi seemingly pointing at nothing.
  • Many believe this hints at the upcoming reveal of the Nintendo Switch 2.
  • The company’s president has confirmed that the console will be revealed before the end of March 2025.

As a fervent gamer, I’m on tenterhooks, sensing Nintendo may soon unveil the much-anticipated successor to my beloved Nintendo Switch. The rumors have been swirling since our esteemed president, Mr. Shuntaro Furukawa, confirmed its development last May. Speculations point towards the grand debut of this new console before the financial year’s end in March. So far, all we know for sure is that the next-gen Switch will play nicely with the existing library of games from the original Switch. I can hardly contain my excitement!

Over the last few months, there’s been a lot of talk about the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, with speculation about when fans might get a glimpse of its new features. Initially, it was reported that Nintendo would unveil the Switch 2 in October, but this was pushed back to give more attention to games like “Mario and Luigi: Brothership” that were due for release on the original Switch at the time. However, the remainder of 2024 passed without an official reveal of the new Nintendo console. Unverified photos claiming to be of the Switch 2 did surface online during the holiday season.

It’s been speculated that the latest change to the official Nintendo Japan Twitter account’s banner could mean the upcoming reveal of the Nintendo Switch 2 might be imminent. The current banner features Mario and Luigi pointing at an empty backdrop, leading some Reddit users like Possible_Ground_9686 on r/GamingLeaksAndRumours to suggest this vacant space could represent the new console. However, others have noted that Nintendo has used this exact banner in the past, even as recently as May 2024.

Social Media Banner Change Could Be A Sign of the Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal

Previously discussed, various leaks suggest that the design of the Nintendo Switch 2 may resemble its predecessor, but with some enhancements. Leaked Joy-Con pictures appear to corroborate this, and they also seem to verify earlier whispers about the controllers attaching to the system magnetically.

Indeed, none of these rumors or leaks about the Nintendo Switch 2 have been officially confirmed by the company yet, so they should be approached with some caution until an official reveal is made. The exact date for this anticipated unveiling is still unknown, and it’s even harder to predict when the Nintendo Switch 2 will go on sale. All eyes are on Nintendo as they prepare to step into a new phase in 2025.
