While no supplementary info exists on their website, a full 3D render of the case is available revealing a similar design to that of the current Switch but with an additional button on the right Joy-Con controller. The Nintendo Switch 2 saga continues to drag out, but now that Nintendo has finally confirmed the handheld’s actual existence (like that was ever in doubt) and we have a rough release window, things are heating up. The rumor mill has been spinning for a while at this point - after all, it’s been seven years since the original console took to the shelves. That’s a lot of time for the internet to do its thing, and we’re rounding up all the credible rumors right here. The Nintendo Switch has largely stayed the same during its life. We’ve had the Switch Lite and Nintendo Switch OLED models, delivering a more portable form factor with the former and an improved OLED display with the latter, but neither managed to improve the specs of the original model. Despite this, we still think it’s thebest gaming handheldfor most players, as it offers up an incredible library and decent portable performance. A new model is already rumored to beef up the internal power of the 2017 original (which shouldn’t be hard, it’s likely going to land in 2025 after all), with backwards compatibility, a better battery, and performance rumored to stand alongside the PS4 generation of consoles. Ninty’s always done things it’s own way, though, so we’ll just have to wait and see. When will the Nintendo Switch 2 launch? Delays have reportedly pushed the Nintendo Switch 2 launch back to 2025, with new rumors pointing towards April being our new launch windowat the earliest. After Nintendo confirmed that its next Switch console will be announced within this fiscal year (ending March 2025) via a message from itsPresident on X (Twitter), we held out hope for a similar release date. However, in aGamesIndustry.biz podcast, head Chris Ding explained that “[developers] have been told not to expect it in the [current] financial year. A bunch of people I spoke to hope it’s out in April or May time.” All of this is just the latest in the release date saga after Brazilian journalist Pedro Henrique Lutti Lippe uploaded a new episode to theO X do ControleYouTubechannel on February 16, in which they claim five different internal sources have indicated that the Nintendo Switch 2 has been delayed internally. On February 26, Japanese siteNikkeiclaimed that the Nintendo Switch 2 release date was March 2025, citing Nintendo’s aim to beat scalpers with enough units to meet demand as the reason behind the push. Since then, another possible reason for the delay away from the original expected 2024 timeline has appeared via reputable leakerMoore’s Law Is Dead. A Feb 29 YouTube video explained howNvidiasources approached the leaker stating that the console has been complete for a while now and the brand is just waiting to launch. Crucially, though, the response states that “Nintendo isn’tSony… they see delays as something that will causetheir games to be more polished at launch”(original emphasis). Ninty could be pushing the Nintendo Switch 2 release date back to evade scalpers, but there’s also a possibility that the launch game lineup just isn’t ready for the system yet. Nintendo Switch 2 spec and design rumors (Image credit: Nintendo) All the rumors and analyst predictions are definitely pointing towards Nintendo Switch 2 being more of an iterative update than a complete revamp of the lastest hardware. Think like the difference between the Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS, which mainly introduced better 3D quality, some additional buttons like a second pair of shoulder buttons, and a c-stick rather than completely reinventing its predecessor. It doesn’t help that Switch 2 will be"closer" to PS4 and Xbox One specsaccording toActivisionemails. Sign up to the GamesRadar+ Newsletter Weekly digests, tales from the communities you love, and more Most recently, a post on theGamingLeaksAndRumors Reddit subreporting to come via a Chinese site has fuelled speculation about the Nintendo Switch 2’s design. The images contain raw renders of the Switch-like system, with console, Joy-Con, and dock labeling. As previously rumored, this is very much a Nintendo Switch but with a larger body, slimmer profile, and more rounded corners. On December 13, another well-known accessory brand Dbrand revealed their first Switch 2 ‘Killswitch’ case on their website. There, a full 3D render of their case is available, which features a very similar design to that of the current Switch but with an additional button. On the right Joy-con, there appears to be a new button next to the ‘home’ button location which supports previous leaks and rumors surrounding the Switch successor. Speaking toThe Verge, Dbrand CEO Adam Ijaz shared that they have “actual dimensions” of the upcoming console taken from 3D scans. Ijaz also iterated that the handheld will measure 270mm wide, 116mm tall, and 14mm thick, so it’s suspected to be slightly bigger than that of the OLED model.Regardless of how it looks, the handheld is still thought to be a hybrid console, with a dock that might be able to upscale to 4K rather than just 1080p using DLSS 2. That said,Digital Foundrypoints out that we don’t yet know whether the chip destined to power the Switch 2, Nvidia’s T239, has the Deep Learning Accelerator components required to make that feat a reality. (Image credit: Nintendo) Rather than investing in OLED off the bat, Nintendo is apparently looking at upping the quality and quantity of the storage available in the Nintendo Switch 2. It could come with eMMC storage like the original entry-level Steam Deck, which is faster than the current Switch’s internal memory solution. In terms of raw stats, the latest rumor is that the Nintendo Switch 2 specs could be: There are rumors that a better specced Nintendo Switch 2 Pro could launch alongside with a higher price tag, but that’s less substantiated than the above specs sheet. Nintendo Switch 2 backwards compatibility (Image credit: Nintendo) Nintendo Switch 2 price rumors (Image credit: Nintendo) The current price of the Nintendo Switch OLED is £309.99 / $349.99, but rumors suggest the Nintendo Switch 2 price will be more in the region of $400, which could convert to around £350 retail. At most, though, we could be looking at a $499 MSRP for the Nintendo Switch 2. That’s according to an analyst speaking as part of theGI.biz2024 analyst predictions piece though, so obviously isn’t exactly concrete yet. But, if we look at the retail price of machines like the Steam Deck OLED,PlayStation Portal, or theAsus ROG Allythen the $400 mark does seem pretty reasonable. Of course, the majority of those devices have higher specs that better justify those price tags.
