The Nintendo Switch 2 has been one of the biggest announcements of the year, so far, leaving many eager for the company’s next console. While Nintendo revealed a sneak peek back in January, the finer details of the Switch 2 still remain mysterious. As the year continues, many are anticipating the console’s roster of launch titles and ports.
The Switch 2’s launch titles are being kept under wraps, but it may not be that way for much longer. A Nintendo Direct event is scheduled for next month, likely bringing game announcements with it. Only time will tell, but a lot of gamers are excited to see what awaits them. Although big names like Mario Kart and Metroid Prime are practically a given, one indie horror hit could actually be the perfect fit for the Switch 2: Mouthwashing.

A new leak suggests that Nintendo is increasing the prices for games on the Switch 2, falling in line with a broader industry trend.
Mouthwashing’s Upcoming Multiplatform Launch Opens the Door to a Switch 2 Port
- Mouthwashing is coming to consoles later this year.
- PS5 and Switch players will be able to get a physical copy, while Xbox players will only be able to acquire the game digitally.
Despite its cartoonish graphics, Mouthwashing is a bone-chilling horror story. The art style actually adds to the creepiness of the game, and its mind-bending visuals help tell the story of a spaceship crew slowly spiraling into madness. It’s incredibly unsettling, and with the game’s impending arrival on the Switch, it only makes sense for a Switch 2 port to be on the way, as well. Of course, most games on the original Switch are set to be backward-compatible, but a full-blown port could be the best way for Nintendo fans to experience this unique horror story. There have been plenty of rumors about the Switch 2, but one thing that seems like a given is enhanced graphics. The visuals of Mouthwashing are the heart of the story, so the Switch 2 could enhance a player’s time with the game.
Mouthwashing Could Be a Unique Switch 2 Offering
Right now, the most likely game announcements are from longtime Nintendo staples. Of course, these franchises would be incredibly exciting, but Mouthwashing would be a wild card. Mouthwashing is a dark ride into insanity, and seeing this game included among the likes of the far happier Nintendo exclusives could be a great way to draw both indie lovers and horror fans to the Switch 2.
If rumors turn out to be true, the Switch 2 could feature 12GB of RAM, which would be three times as much as its predecessor. That would make the upcoming Nintendo console more powerful than the Xbox Series S. Of course, this has yet to be confirmed, so it should be taken with a grain of salt. However, if true, horror fans who want to get the full Mouthwashing experience would greatly benefit from playing an optimized Switch 2 port.
The Switch 2 also features mouse Joy-Cons, which could be a great way to play Mouthwashing, since it originally launched on PC.
More Switch 2 News is Waiting Around the Corner
- A Nintendo Direct event centered around the Switch 2 is scheduled to air on April 2.
- The event will likely announce a launch date for the console.
- After the Nintendo Direct, the company will host hands-on Switch 2 previews in select cities across the globe.
The Switch 2 has been a long time coming, as it’s now been eight years since its predecessor hit the scene. What the upcoming Nintendo Direct holds in store for fans is being kept secret at the moment, but launch titles, a release date, and an official price are likely to be revealed.
With the showcase only a few weeks away, the Switch 2 now feels more real than ever before. Until the event, there’s no way to know if any horror titles will be among the planned first round of ports, but side-stepping Mouthwashing could be a missed opportunity.
