Nintendo Switch 2 is Still Planned to be Announced Before April 2025, Says Nintendo

As a seasoned gamer with decades under my belt and shelves full of consoles from Atari to Xbox Series X, the news about the Nintendo Switch 2 has me both excited and a tad impatient. The original Switch was a game-changer for me, offering portability without sacrificing power, but the signs of fatigue are clear, and I can’t wait to see what the next generation brings.

According to their announcement, we can expect Nintendo to unveil the new Nintendo Switch model within this financial year.

After Nintendo’s most recent earnings discussion, it was revealed that the Nintendo President, Shuntaro Furukawa, stated they will soon unveil details about the successor of the Nintendo Switch this fiscal year. This means they plan to share the information by March 31, 2025.

It appears that the Nintendo Switch is showing signs of wear, as sales have decreased by 31% in the first and second quarters compared to last year. During the same investor call, Nintendo announced they are reducing their hardware sales projection. Originally expecting to sell 13.5 million units this fiscal year, they now anticipate only selling 12.5 million – a 10% decrease.

It’s still uncertain when the Nintendo Switch 2 will become available, as Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa previously stated that its release won’t happen before their next fiscal year starting on April 1, 2025.

This year saw some early designs of the Nintendo Switch 2 getting leaked online, complete with specifications for the upcoming console. These include a boost in RAM to 12GB, HDMI 2.1 compatibility, and internal storage capacity of up to 256GB. The buzz around this system suggests that it may be backward compatible and offer support for 4K resolution graphics.
