Rumours
With the continued success of the Nintendo Switch, rumors are swirling about the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. Insiders believe that Nintendo is aiming for a £349 ($399) price point to deliver a high-quality console. While this would make it the most expensive Nintendo console ever, it would still be cheaper than the Xbox Series X and PS5. There is also speculation about whether Nintendo will change the style of gaming cartridges, as they have done in the past.
Release Date
The Nintendo Switch, which was released in 2017, is nearing the end of its life cycle after almost seven years. Based on Nintendo's usual timeline, it is likely that the Switch 2 will launch before the end of 2024, possibly around Christmas. However, new rumors from leaker 'Nate The Hate' suggest that a Nintendo Switch 2 reveal could happen as soon as March, with Switch 2-related projects also being unveiled.
New Features
According to a new leak, the next Nintendo Switch console could be backwards compatible with current-generation games. This means that players will be able to play both physical and digital games from the original Switch on the new console. Fans are also expecting upgrades to existing features, such as better TV-quality graphics on the handheld. There are hopes that the handheld resolution will be upgraded from 720p to 1080p, and that there will be improved control options and a larger onboard storage size of 512GB. Additionally, a better battery life and improved Wi-Fi connectivity are highly anticipated.
Overall, the Nintendo Switch 2 is generating a lot of excitement and speculation among gamers. With its potential new features and improved performance, it could be a game-changer in the world of gaming consoles. Fans will have to wait for an official announcement from Nintendo to get all the details, but the future looks bright for the Nintendo Switch 2.
