January reveal and March 2025 launch for new console - Nintendo is reportedly ramping up production of components for the new device in anticipation of its launch

A new round of Nintendo Switch 2 rumours has begun but there’s still a sliver of hope the new console could be announced this year.

But the main talking points, that don’t seem like they can be misinterpreted, is that the Switch 2 will be officially announced in January 2025, and it will be released in March 2025. We don’t know how well this aligns with theories that Nintendo’s Switch 2 release schedule is going on as planned, or if they sped up or slowed down that schedule.

Check out the major rumors and leaked images, including an 8-inch display and magnetic Joy-Con, before Nintendo officially reveals its Switch successor.

Now that the Nintendo Switch's successor has been confirmed to be backwards compatible, there are some lofty suggestions made about its design.

Nintendo Switch 2 will have a "massive launch" with a leak claiming the number of consoles available when it releases will be "roughly 2.5 times the volume from March 2017", which is when the original console went on sale.

A leaker suggests that Nintendo is getting ready to ship a massive number of Switch 2 consoles when the system is ready to launch.
