Nintendo Switch 2 rumors continue. This time, information around the release of the console and the games available at its launch would have been revealed.
Take ! It’s been almost too long since we had a rumor around the Nintendo Switch 2. Since the beginning of this year, rumors around the next console from the manufacturer have been numerous. For its part, Big N only made a few brief statements here and there saying that the Switch still had a bright future ahead of it and that its successor should be able to surprise players. It was without counting on the new information of a insider Japanese who would have given some additional clues about the release of the Nintendo Switch 2 and its launch games.
A release of the Nintendo Switch 2 at the same time as the PS5 Pro?
You will pick up a new rumor on the Nintendo Switch 2? As the hybrid console celebrated its sixth anniversary last month, players are wondering a lot about its successor. It must be said that the machine is starting to show its age technically and the rumors around a more powerful console, perhaps even capable of displaying ray tracing is enough to put stars in your eyes. In the absence of concrete information, the leaks and hallway noises have been recurring for many months now. It’s the turn of a insider famous Japanese to add his little grain of salt. And if this famous “Retail Uncle” aka Tamakichi / segamega99 has credit, we can never remind you enough that everything that will be written in the following lines is to be taken conditionally until an official announcement from Big N.
L’insider therefore implied two things. The first is that the Nintendo Switch 2 would be released almost at the same time as the famous PS5 Pro or at least have a fairly close launch window. A revision of Sony’s console which is itself the subject of many rumours. According to well-informed Tom Henderson, it would be scheduled for the end of 2024. The latest rumors around the Switch 2 suggested a release around April 2024, when the second DLC of Pokemon Ecarlate et Violet.
Launch games already known?
The second concerns a few games expected at the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2. According to his information, we should expect patches, remasters or “complete editions” for Zelda Tears of the Kingdom and Splatoon, as well as the upcoming 3D Mario game. Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of the plumber, had also hinted that the announcement of the new episode would occur during one of the next Nintendo Direct.
A credible rumor at this stage, especially since according to several journalists, Big N would keep several cartridges on hand to prepare for the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2. After Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, the publisher would then no longer have any games from its strong licenses on the current console. The biggest production confirmed after this sequel is Pikmin 4 for July 2023. We could nevertheless be fixed soon. According to good old Jeff Grubb of VentureBeat, the announcement of the new console could take place by the end of 2023 or early 2024 at the earliest. So to be continued…
