Exciting news for gamers worldwide! Rumours are swirling about the much-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2, with industry insiders suggesting that the announcement could happen this week. The reveal is expected to take place on Thursday, January 16th, and will primarily focus on the hardware aspects of the console.
The Nintendo Switch 2 is rumoured to maintain the hybrid handheld/docked design that made the original so popular. However, it is expected to pack significantly more power, with performance capabilities similar to a base PS4 in handheld mode and a PS4 Pro when docked. This leap in performance would make it a formidable next-gen contender.
One of the biggest questions on gamers’ minds is the name of the new console. Nintendo has not yet confirmed any details, but leaks suggest that the Switch 2 could be released as early as summer 2025, potentially in June or July. The reveal will likely focus on the console’s size and capabilities, with a separate presentation for games planned for later in the year.
The gaming lineup for the Switch 2 looks promising, with titles like Mario Kart 9, Super Mario Odyssey 2, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, and Final Fantasy 7 Remake rumoured to be part of the launch lineup. Xbox titles like Halo and Microsoft Flight Simulator are also expected to make their way to the console.
As always, it’s important to take these rumours with a pinch of salt until Nintendo makes an official announcement. However, the anticipation and excitement among fans are palpable, and this could be the beginning of a new era for Nintendo’s hybrid console.
Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to the reveal date!
