The speculation can finally end. The Nintendo Switch 2 was officially revealed this morning, confirming weeks of rumors. Those leaks wound up being accurate, as the system’s design and features seem to match what we saw at CES 2025. Case closed … right?

Not so fast. While we did get our first glimpse at the handheld today, actual details on it are sparse. Sure, we saw its new Joy-cons, redesigned kickstand, mouse-like features, and more. We even got a brief glimpse at Mario Kart 9. But Nintendo didn’t share much in the way of hard details, saving that information for a bigger showcase on April 2. Here’s just a few of the unanswered questions that still linger.

• The Nintendo Switch 2 gets its official reveal, but no release date
• Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Microsoft Flight Sim might come to PS5 and Switch 2
• The Nintendo Switch 2 reveal needs these 3 things to succeed

Specs

While we saw just about every angle of the redesigned handheld, we learned absolutely nothing about its guts today. Nintendo did not reveal anything in the way of specs. We don’t know what chip its running, its resolution output, or anything about its larger display. We didn’t even get measurements for the system itself. For now, we’ll just have to keep investigating images of its rumored motherboard, which Reddit users have been pulling apart for weeks now. That leak suggests that the Switch 2 uses a Nvidia chip, which would be a major change from the original Switch.

Release date

If you were hoping the Switch would get its proper release date today, keep dreaming. Nintendo is sticking by a vague 2025 window for the device for now. Don’t expect it to come anytime soon though. Nintendo is set to reveal more details on the system during a Direct presentation on April 2, which likely means that it’ll come a while after that.
