On January 17th, Nintendo officially announced that its highly anticipated new generation game console, Nintendo Switch 2, will be officially released this year. In order to give players a sneak peek, Nintendo showcased the hardware style of Nintendo Switch 2 for the first time through a video on its official website.

In this video titled 'Nintendo Switch 2- First Release Trailer', it can be found that the new generation Switch remains unchanged compared to the previous generation, with a larger controller and screen size, and comes with a more flexible stand.

It is worth mentioning that Nintendo Switch 2 will not only support exclusive games, but also be compatible with both physical and digital versions of Nintendo Switch games. However, Nintendo also reminds players that some Nintendo Switch games may not run on Nintendo Switch 2 or may not be fully compatible. Specific compatibility details will be announced on the Nintendo website later.

It is reported that in order to provide players with a deeper understanding of Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo will broadcast "Nintendo Face to Face: Nintendo Switch 2" on April 2nd. In this face-to-face meeting, Nintendo will provide a detailed introduction to the various functions and features of Nintendo Switch 2, allowing players to have a more comprehensive understanding of this new console.

In terms of gaming, it is said that there will be new games such as "Mario Kart" (the first escort game), "3D Mario" (the 2025 holiday), and third-party games such as "Assassin's Creed: Mirage" and "Final Fantasy VII: Remake".

Nintendo announced its unique alarm clock product, Alarm, in December last year and quickly became a hit. In order to cope with the shortage of production and inventory, Nintendo has chosen to restrict non Nintendo Switch Online members from purchasing and only allow one member to make an online reservation for one device.

Nevertheless, Nintendo announced last year that the public release, originally scheduled for early February 2025 (with different release times in different regions, such as Europe originally scheduled for mid January), would be postponed for non Nintendo Switch Online members.

Recently, Nintendo Europe officially released a new announcement stating that the restriction on Nintendo Switch Online membership purchases will continue until early March. This also means that in March 2025, the Alarm clock will finally have the opportunity to be publicly released to non NS Online members.

On January 14th today, Nintendo announced that its Nintendo Music service has added a new music package, which includes all 133 songs from the classic masterpiece "The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Staff". Interested players can follow it now.

The sandbox survival exploration game "Terraria" created by Re Logic is about to celebrate its 14th anniversary (released in May 2011), and as the developer, Re Logic has been committed to providing free patches for this beloved game, which has led to the game continuing to release new "final updates" since the release of the "End of the Journey" update in 2020 (also known as the last update of "Terraria").

Andrew 'Redigit' Spinks, Chief Developer of Re Logic, recently posted on social media, "We're going back to work tomorrow, and I only have one task: release the final update, I'm ready

A fan joked about the topic of "Final Update," and Spinks responded kindly, saying, "As long as there is a final update, Terraria will never die

According to GamesRadar+, the upcoming 1.4.5 patch will be the sixth final update since the game began receiving the 'Final Update', but no one can be sure if this will truly be the last update for Terraria.
