By saying just “2025” this solidifies in my mind that this will be the cross gen game that launches with the Switch 2 around April or May or whatever.
Given the lack of noticeable aliasing in this trailer I wouldn't be surprised if this footage is being run off Switch 2 hardware. Things to my eye look significantly sharper than what we've been getting from the switch.
Digital Foundry made a pretty convincing case that it's running on current switch hardware: https://www.ign.com/articles/was-metroid-prime-4-running-on-switch-2. That being said, a cross-generation release wouldn't be out of character for Nintendo.
