Nintendo's cryptic social media update fuels Nintendo Switch 2 speculation. A recent change to the Japanese Nintendo Twitter banner depicts Mario and Luigi seemingly pointing at an empty space, leading many to believe it subtly hints at the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 reveal. President Shuntaro Furukawa previously confirmed the console's unveiling before March 2025.
The anticipation surrounding the Switch 2 has been intense since its existence was acknowledged last May. While backward compatibility with existing Switch games is confirmed, details remain scarce. Previous rumors suggested an October 2024 reveal, later postponed, allegedly to prioritize titles like Mario and Luigi: Brothership. Unverified images purportedly showing the Switch 2 also circulated online.
The updated Twitter banner, featuring Mario and Luigi's seemingly directionless gestures, has sparked debate. Some Reddit users interpret the blank space as a placeholder for the new console, while others note the banner's prior use.
The Social Media Clue and Switch 2 Design Speculation
Numerous leaks suggest the Switch 2 will retain the original Switch's form factor with enhancements. Leaked Joy-Con images seemingly support this, and also hint at magnetic connection.
However, until official confirmation, all leaks and rumors should be treated with caution. The timing of the Switch 2's reveal and release remains uncertain, leaving fans eagerly awaiting Nintendo's next move as 2025 approaches.
