Nintendo Switch 2 quieter HD Rumble

One of the more overlooked pieces of information we’ve received about Nintendo Switch 2 relates to the HD Rumble functionality on the new Joy-Con 2, which will be quieter compared to the previous version controllers. 

Information about this was quietly included on the official website since the system’s reveal earlier in the month. It’s actually tucked away in a note about Everybody 1-2 Switch. It turns out that there’ll be a slight compatibility issue with that title due to the quieter HD Rumble on the new Joy-Con with a specific mini-game.

A note on the page states:


Battle Train will be making its way to Nintendo Switch on June 18th, 2025.

Battle Train is a roguelite deck-n-track builder that has players taking the role of contestants on a game show. They use cards to build up their bases and attack enemy structures, all through the connection of trains and tracks. The game is co-developed by Terrible Posture Games and Nerd Ninjas LLC, with Bandai Namco Entertainment publishing it.

Here’s some more information about the game:

As a reminder, here’s what to expect:

NIntendo eShop changes

Nintendo made various additions and changes to Switch with the system’s new 20.0.0 update, and it turns out that the modifications also apply to the eShop, including the store’s charts.
