Nintendo has finally revealed the Switch 2, but one account claims to have the information on how powerful the system will be and the numbers may surprise youTech15:27, 17 Jan 2025The Switch 2 has been revealedYesterday afternoon, Nintendo finally revealed the Nintendo Switch 2 but left plenty of information for an upcoming Nintendo Direct on April 2.We know it'll be a hybrid system, and it'll be backward compatible while also playing Switch 2 exclusives like what appears to be a new Mario Kart. It'll also use magnetic Joy-Con, and come in a slick new black colour.One account posted on X (formerly Twitter) earlier this week about the power on offer from the handheld, and you might be surprised to find out it has at least one key rival beat while also towering over its predecessor in terms of raw numbers.Content cannot be displayed without consentAs with anything on the Switch 2 until its full reveal, you should take everything with a fistful of salt. There's no telling where these numbers have come from, after all, but as NIB posted, the Switch 2 will vastly more power than its predecessor, and actually offer more Tflops (that's teraflops, a unit of measurement for compute power) than the Steam Deck both undocked and docked.The console doesn't have as much power as the ASUS ROG Ally though, apparently, but is closing in on a PS4's level of power while undocked, and blasts past it when docked.It's sure to please fans that have become accustomed to getting lesser versions of multiplatform games on Switch due to the console's much lower level of graphical grunt, and if it's true, could hopefully mean Switch 1 games will run much better (we're still not ready to go back to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet yet).Other leaks for the Switch 2's software lineup include one AAA third-party game making the jump, while other leaks have suggested the new console can run Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Assassin's Creed Mirage, and Metal Gear Solid Delta the latter of which still doesn't have a release date on any platform.We'll find out more on April 2, with the console getting a deeper dive. We're expecting Nintendo will showcase games, the hardware's capabilities, and give us that all-important price and release date.Don't forget, you can get hands on with it early here's how.Article continues belowFor the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletters.RECOMMENDED
