Nintendo Insider Confirms Switch 2 Announcement in March

Feb 09, 2024 3:05 PM

There is mounting evidence suggesting that Nintendo is gearing up to reveal the successor to the popular Switch console, unofficially dubbed the Switch 2, this March. Noted gaming insider Nate the Hate has recently reaffirmed his earlier predictions that Nintendo is likely to make an announcement soon. Previously, there was some ambiguity about the timing, with speculation arising from his videos, but he has now clarified his sources have repeatedly mentioned March as the potential announcement window. Additionally, Nate's speculation about Nintendo possibly moving away from the Joy-Con controllers remains unconfirmed.

Further bolstering these claims, another outlet, Universo Nintendo, referenced a podcast that corroborates Nate's timeline, citing their sources who indicate that developers and publishers working with Nintendo are getting ready to reveal their projects in alignment with the announcement. It hints at retailers also being primed to start offering pre-orders for the new system.

Given the strong rapport of both sources and the buzz among retailers and game companies, the gaming community is brimming with anticipation over the potential imminent unveiling of the Nintendo Switch's next iteration.

When is the Nintendo Switch 2 expected to be announced?

According to insider Nate the Hate, corroborated by Universo Nintendo, the Nintendo Switch 2 is expected to be announced in March of this year.

The Nintendo Switch, launched in March 2017, revolutionized the gaming industry with its hybrid design, allowing users to play games both as a portable handheld and as a traditional home console when docked. Its vast library includes popular titles like "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild," "Super Mario Odyssey," and "Animal Crossing: New Horizons," contributing to over 100 million units sold worldwide. The anticipation for a new iteration reflects the gaming community’s eagerness for enhanced performance, improved graphics, and new features that build upon the Switch's innovative concept.
