Is the Nintendo Switch 2 announcement coming today? What we know.

It’s January 16, 2025, which would seem like not a huge date or anything … except it MIGHT BE for gamers.

Why? Because there are rumors flying everywhere that Nintendo is going to reveal the Switch 2 on Thursday, with the games and release date and improvements on the Switch.

THE BEST GAMES FOR THE SWITCH: What are the best titles?

Walmart Canada Gaming might have tipped that this was happening with a two-word post on X (formerly Twitter): “Hey, Mario” and a photo of Mario peering around a curtain.

That’s got to mean something, right? Because that was the same image Nintendo showed before revealing the Switch back in 2016.

So: hmm. We’ll see!
