Nintendo Switch continues to be one of the favorite hybrid consoles even after nine years of its launch. It has broken all the sales records because up until now 140 million units have been sold. The company is reported to be working on its successor which has a load of huge expectations from gamers in this competitive market. This is said to be Nintendo Switch 2 whose some of the alleged specs are surfacing on the internet. As far as launch is concerned no date has yet been recommended though something credible around it has come out. As per the President of Nintendo, Shuntaro Furukawa, Nintendo Switch 2 can be launched within this fiscal year, guaranteeing its release before April 2025. Good news, isn’t it?
This is Furukawa, President of Nintendo. We will make an announcement about the successor to Nintendo Switch within this fiscal year. It will have been over nine years since we announced the existence of Nintendo Switch back in March 2015. We will be holding a Nintendo Direct…

Furukawa also mentioned the event that they would host in June. The event would only focus on the Nintendo games but not on the Switch 2. The reports particularly say that the much-awaited Nintendo Switch 2 can make its debut between July 2024 and March 2025. This announcement has come following the company’s quarterly earning report that says that the company’s hardware sales have declined 12.6% year over year which can’t be a shocking thing for almost a decade-old flagship console. Its exclusive titles like “The Legend of Zelda: Tears of Kingdom” have helped a lot of consoles to maintain their likeness among gamers. It will be interesting to see, how the company manages to meet gamers’ expectations with the Nintendo Switch 2.
