Key conclusions

Yooka-Replaylee was seemingly confirmed for Switch 2. A hint that she will appear on an upcoming Nintendo console was presented in the game's latest trailer.

Nintendo still has five months to announce the Switch 2 within the timeframe it previously committed to. Some recent rumors suggest that the company is targeting October 2024 for the official unveiling, but now that the month is nearing its end, that's looking less likely by the day. Meanwhile, individual developers have already started confirming games for the Switch 2.

Rumor: The Nintendo Switch 2 dock may look a lot different than its predecessor

According to some recent rumors, the Nintendo Switch 2 and its docking station could easily be visually different from its predecessors.

The latest company to (sort of) do this is Playtonic Games, a British studio that has just recovered Yuka-Layli remaster to console trailer. The 100-second clip ends with a list of platforms that Yooka-Replaylee will be supported, which includes the PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo logos. The fact that this group doesn't specifically mention the Switch seems to indicate that the platformer will instead target the console's successor. Playtonic confirmed that the chosen logo was not a mistake, jokingly writing that Yooka-Replaylee will be available on the recently launched Nintendo Alarm Clock.



The Nintendo Switch 2 already has several confirmed games

So, while Nintendo's next device is still nowhere to be seen, the number of confirmed games continues to grow. Pathea recently announced this My time at Evershine will be coming to the Switch 2 and promises to share more details on the matter after Nintendo officially reveals the long-awaited console.


before that, Person– like an RPG Bestiary was also confirmed for the Switch 2 in late February 2024. This comes shortly after widespread reports that Nintendo has pushed back the Switch's successor until 2025. Bestiary and My time at Evershine have been confirmed for an unannounced device as part of their Kickstarter campaigns. Given that the Switch 2 is rumored to be backwards compatible, there should be no shortage of titles in its day-one library even in the unlikely event that the console fails to attract significant support from third-party developers.

As for exactly when the device will be unveiled, many fans have been trying to guess it for most of the year. A call with Nintendo investors is scheduled for November 5, where its executives will probably be asked about the future console. However, the likelihood that they will provide any substantive answers in response to the Switch 2 questions remains unclear. The console itself is expected to appear on store shelves no earlier than the 2nd quarter of 2025.
