Earlier today, we reported that a retailer might reveal launch titles and prices for the Nintendo Switch 2. Hours later, new developments surfaced online regarding the release date. console output.
To recap, Nintendo previously highlighted that it would unveil new hardware during this quarter. Although this window allows the Switch 2 to arrive any time until March 31, a recent rumor put forward January 17 as the date Nintendo would lift the veil on its Switch and its successor Switch OLED ( currently $274.99 – renewed on Amazon).
Various reliable sources have now come around to the idea that the Switch 2 announcement will take place this week, including The Verge’s Tom Warren. However, the generally knowledgeable Nate the Hate claims to have been informed that this material reveal will in fact take place on January 16th.
Nintendo will follow this presentation with a game presentation towards the end of February. In other words, it seems unlikely that the console will ship this quarter. Instead, a late spring release is apparently planned for May or June. As a reminder, the design of the so-called Switch 2 has already been leaked online, as well as a grip for one of its new Joy-Con controllers.
