The rumors are flying, the leaks are exciting, and the hype train has officially left the station. We are on the brink of a new Nintendo era. Whether you call it the Switch 2, the “Super Switch,” or just “The Next Big Thing,” one thing is certain: 2025 is going to be massive for gamers.
But let’s be real—the anticipation is agonizing. We are in that strange limbo between generations. You’ve explored every corner of Tears of the Kingdom, and you’re ready for what’s next.
So, how do you handle the wait? You don’t just sit there. You prepare.
The transition to a new console isn’t just about hardware specs or DLSS support; it’s about the environment where you experience those worlds. Your “battlestation” or cozy gaming nook needs to level up alongside the tech. It’s time to retire the torn paper posters and upgrade to Displate metal posters—durable, magnetic, and high-fidelity art that matches the visual leap we’re about to see in gaming.
Here is your strategic guide to curating a gaming room ready for the Nintendo Switch 2, focusing on the specific aesthetics and moods of the upcoming generation.
Capturing the “Vibe”: Thematic Inspiration
When decorating a mature gaming space or home office, many collectors prefer art that captures the spirit and atmosphere of their favorite worlds. It’s about evoking a feeling—the serenity of a fantasy landscape or the isolation of deep space—rather than just displaying a logo.
Here is how to match your walls to the biggest upcoming hits by focusing on art styles and moods.
1. For the Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Atmosphere
The Vibe: Cosmic Mystery, Deep Space, Neon Sci-Fi.
With Metroid Prime 4 slated for late 2025, you want your room to feel like a window into the vast, beautiful unknown.
- The Pick: Look for synthwave or deep space art. Works like Retro Synthwave Room Night or Video Game Synthwave capture that neon, isolated, retro-future aesthetic that defines the classic sci-fi exploration genre.
- The Finish: Go Gloss. Deep blacks and bright stars pop incredibly well on the glossy finish, mimicking the high-contrast OLED screen we’re all expecting the new console to master.
2. For The Legend of Zelda Enthusiasts
The Vibe: High Fantasy, Japanese Folklore, Ancient Ruins, Nature.
For those who love the lore and the sweeping landscapes of Hyrule, choosing art that reflects traditional Japanese aesthetics or high fantasy concepts adds a layer of sophistication to your room.
- The Pick: The “Japanese Aesthetic” Collection. Think lonely wanderers, red suns, and landscapes that evoke the feeling of Kakariko Village.
- Alternative: Japanese Aesthetic by Dream Art. A perfect blend of traditional style and the solitude of a grand adventure.
- The Finish: Matte. You want a texture that feels like canvas, old parchment, or woodblock prints to match the organic feel of the game world.
3. For the “Cozy” & Pokémon Legends: Z-A Crowd
The Vibe: Urban Fantasy, Nature, Warmth.
Since Legends: Z-A is taking us back to the city, or if you are just prepping for the next cozy farming sim:
- The Pick: Fantasy Gaming Room. This “meta-art” perfectly captures the cozy, lo-fi vibe of a relaxing gaming session. It’s art about the joy of gaming itself.
The Official Heavy Hitters: Third-Party Partners
The Switch 2 is rumored to feature massive support from major publishers. This is great news for collectors, as many of these studios have Official Brand Shops on Displate, offering fully licensed, high-definition designs.
1. Cyberpunk 2077 (The Tech Showcase)
Rumors suggest Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition will grace the Switch 2. This game is the ultimate test of style and a perfect candidate for premium wall art.
- The Collection: The Official Cyberpunk 2077 Brand Shop.
- The Upgrade:TEXTRA.
- Why? Textra is Displate’s exclusive 3D-enhanced finish. It adds texture and selective gloss to the metal. Imagine feeling the rough concrete of Night City or the raised glossy neon. It’s the closest you can get to “next-gen graphics” on a wall.
2. Monster Hunter Wilds
Capcom is bringing the hunt in 2025, and their official art is known for incredible detail.
- The Collection: The Official Monster Hunter Brand Shop.
- The Strategy: Grab a massive Key Art piece. The detail on the scales and fur in high-res official files.
3. Elden Ring
If the “Tarnished Edition” rumors are true, you need to prep for the Lands Between.
- The Collection: Official Elden Ring Brand Shop.
- The Pick: The Elden Ring Map. Printed in Matte and framed in a specific Displate frame, this looks like an ancient artifact. It brings a sense of “classy geek” to any home office.
4. Star Wars Outlaws
Ubisoft is bringing the Galaxy Far, Far Away to the new console.
- The Pick: Lean into the “Scoundrel” vibe with official art like Galactic Outlaw.
The “Hardware” Tribute: Minimalist Schematics
Sometimes, you just love the engineering behind the magic. For a clean, industrial look that celebrates the history of handheld gaming, independent artists have created stunning tributes to the hardware itself.
- The Pick: Gaming by Nobody Quote offers a sleek, minimalist look perfect for a modern setup.
- The Retro Love: Game Boy Light by Va Mitha is a technical tribute to gaming history that looks sharp, professional, and full of nostalgia.
These are perfect for the “Heritage Corner” of your room, looking almost like engineering blueprints.
Technical Setup: Choosing Your Finish
Your Switch 2 will likely have a better screen. Your wall should have better light management to match.
| Finish | Best For… | Lighting Tip |
| Matte | Zelda-style landscapes, Elden Ring Maps, Retro Art. | Best for rooms with lots of windows or direct light. No glare, just pure art. |
| Gloss | Deep Space art, Cyberpunk Neons, Synthwave. | Keep light sources to the side. Gloss enhances contrast and color vibrancy, perfect for darker rooms. |
| Textra | Centerpieces (The main art on your wall). | Use LED strips or side lighting to make the 3D textures pop and cast tiny, realistic shadows. |
Conclusion: Don’t Just Wait—Curate
The release of the Switch 2 in 2025 isn’t just a date on a calendar; it’s the start of a new chapter in your gaming life. Don’t let that shiny new console sit in a dull room.
