With only a week to go until the Switch 2's big Nintendo Direct showcase, there’s new reporting about when the console will launch and some of what players can expect from the hardware’s first six months.

The Nintendo Direct focused on the Nintendo Switch 2 is just a week away, but the company’s launch plans might have leaked a few days

The original Switch was pitched partly on the idea of bringing people together to play, with locally played games like 1-2-Switch and Snipperclips. But Nintendo clearly has bigger multiplayer ambitions, as some of its recent game output shows.
