There has been no official word from Nintendo regarding the launch date of the long-awaited gaming console, which is expected to hit the market soon. Speculations emerged recently claiming that the new console, rumored to be the successor to the Nintendo Switch, could be presented soon. Eurogamer claimed “industry whispers” suggested the announcement could happen on a particular day, backed up by rumors from a popular podcaster.
Furthermore, a reporter of The Verge tweeted that the Switch 2 launch could happen this week, raising the anticipation of fans. The unique selling point of the Switch, which can be both handheld and connected to a television, proved popular with consumers: more than 146 million units have been sold. Its success has only heightened excitement for the next version of the device and added to the hype. Nintendo Switch has become one of the top-selling consoles since its launch in 2017; it is only ranked third after Sony’s PlayStation 2 and Nintendo’s DS.
The audience interested in the successor to the Switch has been increasingly demanding information about the new device, especially given its high sales. Unfortunately, Nintendo has not made any official announcements, but several rumors suggest what the new console might look like and its specifications. Even a life-size model of the next console, which would have a bigger screen, was demonstrated by the company Genki at CES 2024.
Rumors about the hardware's possibilities keep growing, as the company has not provided any official remarks regarding these leaks. Production has already commenced as the company struggles to meet high standards. Experts believe that Nintendo is doing everything possible to ensure enough stock to meet the anticipated demand, something that Sony did not manage well when it launched the PlayStation 5. In 2020, due to supply constraints, there were supply constraints, which Nintendo does not want to repeat with its new console.
In November 2023 Nintendo confirmed that games developed for the initial model of the Switch will work with the new one, attracting players who prefer to play games from the current library. Despite the company’s attempts to remain quiet and not disclose the information, more and more information revealed the potential design of the next-gen device and its accessories.
While the world waits for the new console to be released, the entire gaming industry is paying attention to what Nintendo will do next. The company has been very vocal about its plans to launch the new hardware by March 2025. This timeline was given after the sales of the Switch started to drop, which marked the end of its reign in the market. Although the company hasn’t said much about the matter, recent rumors suggest something new is coming soon.
LottieRoseGames, an “Animal Crossing” streamer, said her fans are interested in what the new console could offer. Expectations center on new games and amazing features to enhance the gaming experience.
