Nintendo has revealed something new about Switch 2 games on a day it wasn’t planning to talk about the new system. After today’s Nintendo Direct stream, the company revealed the existence of “Switch 2 Edition” games on its webpage about the new Virtual Game Card lending system, VGC reports.

The fine print on a new Nintendo website just revealed the existence of "Nintendo Switch 2 Editions" for games.

Even if the Switch 2 doesn’t do as well as the first Switch, Nintendo has a plan to beat scalpers as well as Sony and Microsoft.

Right now, the main things we know about the Switch 2 hardware that distinguish it from the original Switch are that it's bigger and has more horsepower inside. The widespread expectation is that it will be roughly as powerful as a PlayStation 4 Pro or maybe even a Steam Deck, possibly with the ability to upscale games to 4K using DLSS technology.

Today's Nintendo Direct was supposed to be focused on the original Switch, but it told us a lot more about the Switch 2 and what to expect from it.

The Switch 2 shindig is next week, but today, Nintendo showcased Metroid Prime 4, Rhythm Heaven Groove, and the many other exciting titles on the horizon for its current console.
