Nintendo Switch 2 rumors have been swirling for several years now, but recenty they are really heating up. A sequel to Nintendo's most successful home console ever is coming and it’s likely coming sooner rather than later.
Will it be a straight up sequel to the Switch with updated specs while retaining the same hybrid functionality or will Nintendo get weird with it? Will it even be called the Switch 2, or will the company go with something like the Super Switch or even the New Nintendo Switch? Nobody can never tell with Nintendo. Heck, maybe it'll call the thing the Switch U.
In any event, recent weeks have brought feverish speculation regarding all aspects of the forthcoming gaming console. It’s important to note, however, that very little information has been confirmed by Nintendo. The company operates on its own timetable. With that said, here are all of the rumors that are most likely to come true, given industry analysis.
As previously mentioned in several online articles, Nintendo marches to the beat of its own drum. Nobody exactly know when it'll hold an event to reveal the console. A lot of people wrongly assumed it would happen toward the latter part of 2024, but that didn't happen.
Even Nintendo has trouble keeping the lid on a major console release, so we could learn something before the official reveal. There are parts that have to be sourced and shipments that have to be made. A senior analyst at MST Financial noted a spike in production equipment spending by Nintendo assembler Hosiden.
One thing we know for sure is that Nintendo will announce the Nintendo Switch 2 (or whatever it chooses to call it) by March 2025, as the company confirmed back in May. Some are saying there will be a March release date, which makes sense given the OG Switch came out on March 17, 2017. However, other reports put the console’s release window later in 2025.
