Alongside the console itself, Nintendo also revealed several new games and ports that will arrive on the upcoming platform.

Responding to fans’ inquiries, Weedle later clarified that Nintendo’s announcement would be an important software-related surprise, prompting plenty of speculation from players.
Rumor Suggests a New Software-Related Announcement from Nintendo in 2025
Although this is still just a rumor, Weedle has shared accurate information in the past—such as the upcomingrelease ofElden Ringfor the Switch 2. The port, calledElden Ring: Tarnished Edition, will bring FromSoftware’s massively popular open-world Souls game to the handheld console, bundled with its DLC,Shadow of the Erdtree. While this is exciting news for both Nintendo andElden Ringfans, there’s a catch: it appears the game will be a Game-Key Card instead of a regular cartridge, meaning the key will only allow players to download and access a digital version.
While Nintendo has already made public some of the most importantdetails about the Switch 2, there are still plenty of rumors and speculation surrounding its features, controllers, new games, and more. According to Weedle’s most recent leak, Nintendo fans should brace themselves for yet another major surprise as the new console’s release date approaches.
