Consumers will have a new way to read manga on the go. On March 13, 2025 Shogakugan will launch a manga reader for the Nintendo Switch. The announcement came from a member of the CoroCoro editorial department via X. The post provided a look as to how the manga reader will function on the Nintendo Switch. [Thanks, Manga Watch!]
You can take a look below:
Consumers can read manga through the reader in portrait mode. The D-Pad can be used to change the screen orientation, with the joystick used to turn pages. Face buttons like X and Y are used to zoom in. It is unclear if manga reader will be available to consumers outside of Japan. And if it is, if they will be able to access Shogakugan’s catalogue of manga.
In November 2024, Nintendo announced that the Nintendo Switch 2 will be backwards compatible. No details as to how this would work on the console, which is slated to release in 2025, more information will appear in the future. An upcoming Nintendo Direct focusing on new information about the Nintendo Switch 2 is expected to appear in April 2025.
