The Countdown to the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct has begun: T-10 Days. There are only 10 days left until Nintendo officially takes the virtual stage as part of its latest Direct presentation, and this time it’s going to be all about Nintendo Switch 2, the games, the prices, the specs, and quite possibly pre-orders. 

We are quickly closing in on the scheduled official Nintendo Direct showcase for Switch 2 – it is now just over 3 weeks away folks – and some new details on the console have surfaced courtesy of an official Federal Communication Commission (FCC) filing. Previously patens all but confuted the existence of mouse mode for the new Switch 2 Joy-Con alongside a reversible display and a look at the drawings of a new charger, but FCC report that has now surfaced is giving us some official details on NFC support, dual USB-C charging, and more. 

Mario Day 2025 is getting off to an early start as per usual – the official eShop sale is now live from $1.50 and the Nintendo LEGO offers are now up for grabs, but Nintendo also just unleashed a couple new classics for Switch Online members. While we were expecting and might still get some other Mario titles, Nintendo has unleashed a couple of new classic Game Boy titles to its retro Switch Online library and you can go play them right now. Details below. 

Nintendo has now officially announced Mario Day 2025. Perhaps better known as MAR10, every year on March 10 Nintendo celebrates the world’s most famous plumber and the rest of the gang with a host of major price drops, a new console bundle or two (we uncovered a really early look at that – it’s already up for sale right now), My Nintendo challenges and events, and this year, a look at the real-life JetBlue Aircraft Featuring Mario and Friends we featured images of this morning. Head below for more details on the 2025 Mario Day festivities. 

We have seen some compelling industry insider speculation on what the price of the upcoming Switch 2 will be. A Canadian Costco employee purportedly leaked a placeholder price for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 console recently. But you can apparently buy one right now for the price of about the price of new Tesla right now on the black market. 

Switch 2 is official, Grand Theft Auto 6 and Metal Gear Solid Delta might be in the launch game window (along with a host of actual Nintendo titles of course), and recent patent fillings have all but confirmed Mouse-Con mode. But what about the price? Early leaks and rumors suggested it could hit at $449 here the US, but a Costco employee might have just leaked a much lower price than that. 

An official patent filed by Nintendo is surfacing across the web today – it appears to all but confirm the mouse functionality on the Joy-Con and quite possibly offer up the very first look at the new official wireless charging pad as well as what looks a lot like the new Pro controller. Check it out below. 

Nintendo Switch 2 is fast approaching with preorders likely to go live in just a few months time after the scheduled Direct showcase on April 2. But how many Switch 2 will there actually be? Will it be just as hard to get one at retail as the original Switch was? Well, probably, but the Nintendo President has recently made an official statement regarding how the company is going to be dealing with scalpers this time around.
