The console could be announced as early as this month. The Nintendo Switch 2 is the worst-kept secret in console history and it should be arriving this year. After being officially confirmed by Nintendo’s president Shuntaro Furukawa last May, leaks about the follow-up to the Nintendo Switch continue to drop.
With fans getting frankly impatient for any news on the Nintendo Switch 2, we’ve taken a dive through the green warp pipe, and have rounded up all the Nintendo Switch 2 rumours currently swirling in the ether, including details about the release date, price, features, specs and more.
For ages, many leakers thought Nintendo would release a new, souped-up Nintendo Switch console in 2021, which would be called the Nintendo Switch Pro. While Nintendo did announce a new console that year, it wasn’t the Switch Pro. On 6 July 2021, Nintendo unveiled the Nintendo Switch OLED console, a modest, revised upgrade over the OG model, with a slightly larger OLED display. This wasn’t the Switch Pro we’d hoped for.

But Nintendo’s plans appeared to change in early February 2024.
