We're due for a new Nintendo Switch. The current model has performed valiantly for the last seven years but it's much showing its age in terms of processing power. Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa announced that the game system's long-awaited successor will be revealed before the end of March 2025,

For nearly eight years, the Nintendo Switch has found a huge foothold in the gaming world, coming dangerously close to having sold 150 million lifetime units at the time of writing. But eight years is a long time for a video game console to be on the market. Naturally, there will be a new one, and we think we'll find out about it soon.

Four major games from third-party publishers are said to be heading to the Nintendo Switch 2 in the console's launch window.

Considering the original Switch's massive install base, it's likely that Nintendo will continue supporting the platform for quite some time. 2025 alone will see plenty of major new games released for the Nintendo Switch, with the company recently taking the time to single out 15 games that are coming to the console this year.

The Alarmo clock will be available for everyone to buy in stores starting this March, and that's a little later than expected.

With CES 2025 finally in the rearview, it’s time to move on to the next round of big hardware announcements. Rumors have emerged over the last few weeks,

The Nintendo Switch 2 is closer than ever but I can't but hope Nintendo learns from its past to make the successor all it possibly can be.
