While I love a busy schedule and jet setting around the country and the world to create fabulous content, I am actually quite the homebody when I get the opportunity to be so. While I don’t currently have a space to call all my own, once I do later this year, I know that one of the reasons I’ll stay home for some down time will be because of my new Nintendo Switch 2.
Yes, that’s right babes. In case you didn’t hear yet, there’s a new Nintendo system coming in 2025 and I want to tell you all about it.

For those of you who are new here at the blog, you might not know this, but I am actually the biggest Nintendo fan and have been since my very first time playing Duck Hunt on the original Nintendo console. I may or may not have used to hold the gun directly against the screen to ensure I always had the highest score amongst my cousins, but shh don’t tell anyone.
Over the years, and especially since launching dothedaniel.com twelve years ago (something I am quite proud of) I have been lucky enough to be able to work directly with Nintendo of Canada team for the launch of the Nintendo Switch and countless games. Mario & I are basically BFFs and to this day if you challenge me to a game of Mario Kart, you will see an extremely competitive side of me come out!
In case you missed the news which came out this week, Nintendo announced the highly anticipated launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 and here’s what we know so far.
Nintendo Switch 2 plays Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive games, as well as both physical and digital Nintendo Switch games. Certain Nintendo Switch games may not be supported on or fully compatible with Nintendo Switch 2. Details will be shared on the Nintendo website at a later date.
For more details on Nintendo Switch 2, please tune in for the “Nintendo Direct: Nintendo Switch 2 – 4.2.2025” which will air on Wednesday, April 2.

That’s all I’ve been told, and if I am lucky enough to make the cut, I will be able to attend a media event for the launch (and if I’m REALLY lucky, I’ll get one for my new home) later this year that I can’t wait to bring you along for.

I’d love to know if you’re just as excited!
I hope you enjoyed reading this post. If you’re not already, follow me on all social media platforms at @dothedaniel as I share in real time these adventures and so much more!
