SDCC 2026 Blows Up: Nintendo's Plans Hint at Switch 2 Launch

Hold up. Did Nintendo just accidentally confirm the Switch 2? A recent report detailing their San Diego Comic-Con 2026 plans casually drops "Nintendo Switch 2" into the mix, naming it the exclusive platform for two brand-new titles: Splatoon Raiders and Nintendo Switch Sports Resort.

This is a bombshell. While Nintendo has remained tight-lipped about their next console, this announcement implies a major hardware reveal well before July 2026. Fans can get hands-on with Splatoon Raiders at the main convention floor booth. This new action-shooter promises Salmonid battles, treasure raids, and ink-splashing fun, all while featuring the mischievous trio Deep Cut. It's set to celebrate its launch weekend at SDCC.

Over at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront, attendees can test their skills in Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, the next evolution of the popular motion-controlled sports series. You'll try out 4 of its 12 upcoming sports before its October 22 release. On July 23, those feeling competitive can even challenge social media creator The Rizzler in Switch Sports Resort. Prepare for a fight over those play slots.
