The Nintendo Switch is finally getting a follow-up console, and the community is stoked. The Switch was released in 2017 and offered a ton of exclusive titles, much to the delight of fans. However, the console is almost 6 years old now. And it lacks the processing power to handle some big games.

Games like Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom are causing the Switch to run out of juice at times. Hence, the demand for a new Switch console has been around for quite some time now. Now, leaks and rumors suggest that a Nintendo Switch 2 may indeed be on its way and fans are thrilled. The Nintendo Switch 2 is speculated to arrive with Final Fantasy VII Remake, highlighting the prowess of the new console yet again.

Is the Nintendo Switch 2 to arrive with FFVII?

The Nintendo Switch was a highly popular handheld console that was a smash hit in the market. It was specifically designed for Nintendo titles like Mario and Zelda games. However, it had very noticeable performance issues. The console’s makers kept denying that the Switch was falling short in performance when it came to modern games, but that was never the case. And now, a Switch 2 could be on its way. And it’s rumoured to be a major step up, one that could supposedly rival the PlayStation 5.

The rumours don’t stop there. A new leak has suggested that the release could be joined by a Final Fantasy VII remake!

The game was initially released on the PlayStation 5 and later received a PC release.

From the rumors, it sounds like the Switch 2 is perfectly able to run the game, producing quality almost similar to the PS5. The news, if true, will undoubtedly bring a lot of joy to the fans.

The community is excited about the prospects

With the Nintendo Switch slowly beginning to show signs of wear and tear keeping up with the modern technology and in-game visuals, the news of a Switch 2 will be a great thing. Furthermore, the console is expected to have backward compatibility, making things all the sweeter for fans of Nintendo.

This will mean that the Switch 2 will not only run the more recent games without breaking a sweat, but it will also ensure the fans get all the games that made them fall in love with the Switch consoles in the first place. Honestly, everything sounds incredible, but we still need to wait for an official announcement from Nintendo before we begin our countdown to the Switch 2’s launch.
