There’s no debate that the Nintendo Switch has been an incredible success, but the upcomingSuper Mario Bros. Wondersurely has to be the console’s swansong. It has been showing its age compared to theXbox Series XandPS5for a few years now and talk of aNintendo Switch 2has been going on for just as long.
A new rumour has appeared via renowned tipsterI’m A Hero Tooon Reddit that publisher Square Enix has managed to get theFinal Fantasy VII Remaketo the point where it “looks and runs like a PS5 game on Switch 2 devkit”. That’s a definite step up from the performance specs of the current Switch, which missed out on the title altogether. Playing something likeOverwatch 2orApex Legendson Switch, definitely shows it to be lagging behind its counterparts when it comes to raw power.
If the successor to the Switch does have PS5 level power then It could become the console of choice for millions. The PS5 and Xbox Series X are functionally very traditional consoles whereas the ability of the Switch to function as both a handheld and home console sets it apart.

Of course, there is also talk about the PS5 receiving aPro model, but this would still make the Switch 2 the most powerful Nintendo machine ever. Maybe we’ll finally get a high enough resolution to get a look at the stitching on Mario’s dungarees.
The same insider also detailed a bit more on what features we could expect from the Switch 2. Those with a chunky collection of Switch games will be pleased to know that they expect backwards compatibility to be included as well as a brand-new “camera feature”.
As for when we could see Nintendo’s next console, there was no information, but speculation elsewhere has suggested it will at least not be until mid-2024.
