It's official, Nintendo will present its next game console in the next two months, before the end of its fiscal year. But when, more precisely, will the brand make this highly anticipated presentation?
A source, deemed rather reliable, promises a first official video this week.

An announcement in two stages
According to Nate The Hate, taken up by Video Game Chronicleand judged “ generally reliable » by fans of leaks and rumors from the world of video games, Nintendo would be ready to make a first announcement this Thursday, January 16.
I can tell you that the Nintendo Switch 2 will be revealed next week… I was told that the Switch 2 will be revealed on Thursday, January 16… in just a few days
It would be a video presenting in detail the next Nintendo console, but without services or games. We would focus on the hardware. This would allow Nintendo to definitively silence the noise around the design of its console, particularly since a prop maker presented his mockup at CES 2025.
This is reminiscent of how Nintendo unveiled the first Nintendo Switch, in two stages. First an event to present the concept of the console, at the time one of the first hybrid consoles, then another event to present the launch games.
