If you are talking about a release of the Nintendo Switch 2, you also have to think about the games that will be released when the console launches. Right at the front of the line is a new Pokémon game. According to a rumor, the tenth generation of the pocket monster role-playing game will be released for both the Nintendo Switch 2 and the current generation.
It is still completely unclear when the Nintendo Switch 2 is released, but the chances of an actual announcement and information on an official release date are increasing with each passing day. Nintendo will not have to wait too long to announce it, as its competitors have also been looking towards the next generation for a long time. The Japanese console and game manufacturer may also soon let the cat out of the bag. What is then absolutely necessary is initial information on the games that will be released with the launch of the new Nintendo Switch will be available. A hot candidate: Pokémon.
Pokémon: New part for both consoles?
After a hack, a lot of information was leaked that Game Freak would probably have preferred to keep secret. The studio has since announced that it wants to take measures in the future to ensure that something like this does not happen again. According to the company, the hack took place in August 2024. Someone from outside accessed the company's servers and obtained sensitive employee data, but also details about future Pokémon games.
A key piece of information was apparently that the new Pokémon of the tenth generation will be available for both the current generation of the Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 This was evident because the project known with the code name "Gaia" is in development for both consoles. This is interesting for two reasons: On the one hand, it means that Game Freak could test the software on the new Nintendo Switch 2, and on the other hand, the hint can be seen as an indication of the hoped-for - and announced by Nintendo - backwards compatibility. It remains unclear how Nintendo itself stands on the release plans. After all, the company could also insist that Game Freak only release the new Pokémon for the new Nintendo Switch published. After all, it is an excellent selling point.
The hack also apparently leaked information about a possible MMO. According to the report, Game Freak is also working on a multiplayer Pokémon game.
No less exciting was the information that was casually fished out about the code name of the Nintendo Switch 2. It now seems to have finally been revealed: “Ounce” or “Ounces”.
