Nintendo officially reveals The Switch 2
After countless leaks, Nintendo officially reveals the Switch 2, reveals the new look, teases a new game and confirms the console directly.
During a stream organized for the announcement of the Nintendo Switch 2, Brazilian gaming insider Petro Henrique Lutti Lippe, known online as phBrazil, claimed that the console will receive a strong line of third-party support from Microsoft. Translations of Lippe's statement read “There are more games from Microsoft for Switch 2, that I know of, than any other company.” He emphasized that there is a lot of Microsoft content heading to the system, encouraging players to look forward to seeing more. There is a considerable amount of new speculation about which games might make the jump.
Strong Microsoft presence rumored for Switch 2
The Switch 2 is expected to be a much more powerful console than its predecessor, and with that power should be the ability to host many more third-party games than its predecessor. Microsoft worked to bring tons of previously exclusive games to the original Nintendo Switch, with hits like Pentium and Based heading onto the platform, but Switch fans have expressed a desire to see even more third-party support, with some feeling that the ports need to catch up and match more current-gen multi-platform releases.
Microsoft with a bolder presence on the Switch 2 could mean newer games like Indiana Jones and the Golden Circle and Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 appears. Other exclusive like Starfield could eventually jump ship. Doom: The Dark Ages can be a strong contender because both Downfall (2016) and Doom Eternal made it to the original Switch system. The latest title coming to the newer console makes sense. As said, Doom Eternal made notable concessions to run well on the Switch, so the hardware improvement is likely long overdue. While there is an idea of which Microsoft games are coming to the Switch 2, rumors seem to suggest many more are on the way.
Nintendo Switch 2
