Nintendo Switch 2 Launch Plan Comes With 3 Phases
Nintendo has announced that its highly anticipated next-generation console, the Nintendo Switch 2, will be released in June 2025. The console will initially be supported by first-party games, and the game library will be expanded throughout the year in a three-phase plan. This plan focuses on both Nintendo’s classic games and third-party productions. The introduction and details of the new console will be announced at the Nintendo Direct event to be held on April 2.
How Will the Nintendo Switch 2 Release Process Be?
Nintendo has set a three-phase game release strategy for the Nintendo Switch 2. The first phase begins with the console’s release in June. During this period, first-party games supporting the new console will be released. In particular, the trailer showing the new Mario Kart game created great excitement among fans. In addition, more developers will gain access to Switch 2 development kits in June.
The second phase will take place in October and November. During this period, more third-party games will be released for the console. The final phase of the year coincides with the holiday period, and additional games will be released during this period. However, no detailed information has yet been shared about the games set for the holiday period.
The Nintendo Switch 2 seems to offer performance improvements that existing Switch users have been waiting for. According to some reports, the console will have 60 FPS support and more advanced graphics features. For example, it is stated that the recently released Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition has a hidden 60 FPS mode, and this feature may become more widespread with the Switch 2.
It is also estimated that important games such as Metroid Prime 4: Beyond will be compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2. Nintendo aims to both renew its old classics and delight its users with completely new games for the new console.
Nintendo’s three-phase plan prepares the Nintendo Switch 2 for a strong start with the support of both first-party games and third-party studios. With the console launching in June, it looks set to be an exciting year for gamers.
