Gaming News The Nintendo Switch 2 rumors reignite, and this time we're talking about a reveal date… and a release date
Rumors continue to accumulate about Nintendo's future console, the Switch 2. A now-deleted post on Weibo would have revealed the release window for the machine. In this article we take stock.
The Nintendo Switch 2 continues to be talked about. The console is on everyone's lips among enthusiasts and fans of the Japanese company. Although the official name has not yet been announced, Shuntaro Furukawa, Big N's president, told Reuters that the announcement should be made before the end of the current fiscal year. The Switch 2 will therefore be unveiled before March 31, 2025. But the launch could happen sooner than we think.
A message on Weibo
When everyone wants to express their opinion on this issue, certain rumors are gaining momentum on the Chinese social network Weibo and the website Famiboards. According to rumors, the console could be announced as early as January and even hit the market as early as March 2025. It was a now-deleted message from an internet user on Weibo that caused a stir. “I got some information from a source who was right several times. He revealed the Switch OLED model, Mario & Luigi Brothership, August Indie World, Nintendo Partner Showcase and more. The announcement will be made in January 2025 and the release will take place in March“, we can learn like this.
However, be careful as these are assumptions and rumors. None of this information has been confirmed by Nintendo. However, the timing of this announcement seems to coincide perfectly with the end of the fiscal year. The information is therefore at the rumor stage, but the diagram seems similar to that of the first console. In fact, the Nintendo Switch was covered by journalists in January 2017 before its official release in March 2017.
Future technical details
At this point, certain rumors allow us to get an idea of the characteristics of the console. Officially we already know that it will be backwards compatible. “More information on this, including Nintendo Switch compatibility, will be announced at a later date“, confirmed the president of Nintendo. It would also support up to 4K resolution, feature magnetic Joy-Con controllers with additional buttons, and support AAA games at launch.
