That’s all they’re saying for now, though — and even the Mario Kart bit is only speculation, based on the fact that the trailer shows Mario Kart (though they also tout that the new console is mostly backwards compatible). Nintendo is promising more info on an April 2 Direct. They’ll also be offering worldwide hands-on “Experience” events, with North American events taking place in New York from April 4 to 6, Los Angeles April 11 to 13, Dallas April 25 to 27, and Toronto April 25 to 27.
There have been plenty of leaks about the Switch 2, but stay tuned for more official info from Nintendo!
