looking at the footage of Mario kart 9 it looks like races will now have up to 24 people and there also looks there are going to be special types of item boxes (which is so interesting and exciting)... These both sound super cool along with the actual announcement of a new console (for the first time in years).
Lol in a way yes. But it is important to note that this is a next gen console -- new games will be developed for THIS console only and won't play on Switch 1.
@@PurplePh0enix imagine it was called: the Super Switch (like the Super NES) it would be a cool reference to the SNES cause that was also a newer version of an older console, but then it’d probably flunk like the Wii U with a name like that….
The thing is, pretty much every game that launches for this new console will be exclusive to that console. The only way you could play Twilight Princess or Ocarina on Switch 1 is if they release them for NSO (which Ocarina is already on there).
I honestly doubt it. The fact they are labelling this as Switch "2" and not Switch "U" really sets it as this being the next new thing instead of just an upgraded Switch 1. There is just no chance it only sells the 13 million WiiU did. Will it sell as much as Switch 1 did? Probably not, but it'll still sell very well imo.
Looks very neat though it is pretty early as we don't know yet. I'd wait till the direct in April for more updates with it. Other than that nice whole new console
With Nintendo branding it as Switch "2" I doubt we'll actually have that issue. If they named it Switch "U" that wouldn't put the same signal out to ppl.
Morning I couldn’t go back sleep & I see this wow it looks cool but not sure I’m getting cause I prefer my lite it’s too big for me love the new Mario kart
Definitely fair! I hope they come out with a smaller version of this console personally. The only thing is that the new Mario Kart likely will not be playable on Switch 1, so everyone who wants it will have to get Switch 2.
It is the next console Nintendo will be releasing. It won't be the same as the Switch Lite and Switch OLED was -- it'll be the next gen console. Meaning, Switch 2 is to the current Switch as the WiiU was to the Wii.
Trying to predict a Switch 2 Direct the day before April 2nd is gonna be pure chaos lol
Oh gosh LOL
I can already see that being a thing
Playing Mario Kart 9 24 player online is goin to be F-Zero Menace

Ooh I haven't' seen anyone say anything about the item boxes! The fact we have 24 racers is amazing though!
I was half expecting it to be called the Switch U
HAHA honestly the "2" makes it more clear that this is the next console and not like an "OLED" to Switch 1.
“New Nintendo Switch XL” ahh console😭
Lol in a way yes. But it is important to note that this is a next gen console -- new games will be developed for THIS console only and won't play on Switch 1.

How is Savannah having the most calm reaction to Mario Kart 9 so in character 😂
LOL honestly it isss
I was waiting for your reaction and I’m glad I waited 😭🙏
Imagine it came with a built in mic where you can talk to players online? Either a fun idea or a really bad one 😂
I love love love the new kart designs (hoping the plug-in joy cons are strong)
Now that's new Mario kart 9
Yesss!
Savannahs glowing review "I dont hate this"
LOL very much on brand for me 🙃
I cannot believe they did this so early
This is standard time for when Nintendo does Directs so it does make sense, but I didn't expect them to do this today at all
YESSS NINTENDO SWITCH 2 AND MARIO KART 9 BABY🗣🔥
🎉🎉🎉
I wonder if that mariokart successor is gonna use its Arcade GP mechanics
Oooh that would be really neat, actually!
Mario Kart 9 Online is going to be Diabolical
I'm all here for it haha
Something that’s crazy is that almost every single leak was correct
I know! The only thing that was actually wrong was the C button. It's still there but it isn't labelled as the "c" button.
Its finally happening
I think I craped my bed when they made mario kart a day one release with nintendo switch 2
It isn't confirmed as a day one release with Switch 2, but I think it'll be HIGHLY likely!
Did you see the new chat button on one of the new joycons?
It isn't confirmed that's a chat button, but I do still see the button there. We'll just have to wait and see what its use is!
BABY DAISY IS IN THE NEW MARIO KART AND THATS ALL THAT MATTERS TODAY!!
April is going to be crazy, but first... POKEMON DAY.
It better be able to play the same games as you can on the regular Nintendo Switch
I agree! Backwards compatibility will be very important!
If they put ocarina or twlight princess on here and make it exclusive im gonna riot
The thing is, pretty much every game that launches for this new console will be exclusive to that console. The only way you could play Twilight Princess or Ocarina on Switch 1 is if they release them for NSO (which Ocarina is already on there).
@PurplePh0enix (cries in oled)
The fact that this trailer is out on the same day as Donkey Kong is hilarious, really goes to show how insignificant that game is to Nintendo tbh
I know! DK coming out today was the main reason I didn't believe the leaks. But you make a valid point with your statement here.
24 racers 2:01 !
Yess! That's definitely exciting!
I didn't see any leaks or even looked em up so this is an absolutely amazing surprise. Just in time for my birthday too woooo. Also new Mario Kart 💪🏻
Haha that's awesome! I was trying to avoid them myself, but I ended up coming them anyway.
Happy early birthday!
OMGGGGGGG A MIRACLE HAS FINALLY HAPPENED
YESSS!
@@PurplePh0enix AHHHHHHHHHHH
I am so excited! Can't wait to play this new Mario Kart
Yess, it's gonna be such a cool one!
@ I’m a big fan of this new art style too!
Switch 2 might face the “Wii/U” problem. I’m calling it.
I honestly doubt it. The fact they are labelling this as Switch "2" and not Switch "U" really sets it as this being the next new thing instead of just an upgraded Switch 1.

It's been 7 long years...
It has!

April will definitely give us all those juicy details!
I woke up in the middle of night today....now I know why! I even thought it was a fan made thumbnail lol but noooo its the real deal!
I was so skeptical at first until I saw Nintendo of America posted it!
Of course Nintendo had to do this at the WORST TIME POSSIBLE!!
Loll definitely wasn't convenient for you
So Excited! I’m assuming it’s gonna release Summer 2025! ❤💙
That would honestly be a great release time! I feel like they'd release it a bit closer to the holidays, but I wanna be very wrong about that lol
Day 1 baby who’s getting it
Meeee!
Great reaction Purp. I know u hype for Mario Kart 9
Thank you! And yes, Mario Kart 9 is gonna be AMAZING!
Taking this with a grain of salt until we see the details about the system more. Glad it's happening though.
I'm sure once they talk about it in April, a lot more ppl are gonna be on board about the system. I can't wait to hear more about it!
I hope that that was a new mario kart game
That was yes!
Can confirm it was, yes.
My only concern is that I hope it doesn't become a wii u situation.
With Nintendo branding it as Switch "2" I doubt we'll actually have that issue. If they named it Switch "U" that wouldn't put the same signal out to ppl.
I can’t wait to play the new Mario kart
Yesss, same!
is it bad that i love the salmon color and want it on both sides
There are definitely quite a few ppl I've talked to that would agree with you! Me personally though, not a huge fan lol
Drag like a mouse and DK eyes look different and mario kart 9
DK looks like how he did in the Mario Movie which I think is kind of interesting!
First!
This is low key exciting to be honest.
This thing better not have drift
I don't think it will, but if it does, it'll be much harder to get drift
Let's go

2:52 ! That's My Month
What is a Nintendo switch 2? Honestly
The new console obviously.
It is the next console Nintendo will be releasing. It won't be the same as the Switch Lite and Switch OLED was -- it'll be the next gen console. Meaning, Switch 2 is to the current Switch as the WiiU was to the Wii.
@PurplePh0enix I Was Excited when I Saw It, I Feel Like it's Off the Charts
it is so ugly
Fair opinion! I honestly like the way it looks minus the salmon color on the right Joy Con, but I understand not being a fan of the design!
