by

There’s been quite a buzz among gamers about the possible release of the Nintendo Switch 2, with many speculating due to Nintendo’s tight-lipped approach regarding their upcoming gaming console. Recently, an intriguing rumor has been circulating online, suggesting a specific timeline for its official announcement. This leak has sparked excitement among fans, who are eagerly waiting for more information about this highly anticipated product.

Here is what we have learned from the Nintendo Switch 2’s announcement.

Nintendo expected to announce the Switch 2 on January 16

Nintendo Switch 2 is reportedly expected to be officially announced on January 16, 2025.

According to both Nate the Hate, a well-known informant and podcaster, and Tom Warren from The Verge, who provided information through source X, it is anticipated that the announcement for the Nintendo Switch 2 will be made this week.

In his video, Nate the Hate hinted at a potential announcement focusing solely on the features of the Switch 2, with no upcoming games for the system expected to be unveiled.

As a gaming enthusiast, I’ve been hearing some buzz about a potential new Nintendo Switch model. But since this info isn’t straight from the horse’s mouth (Nintendo), it’s important to approach it with a touch of skepticism. However, there’s reason to believe we won’t have to wait too long. In fact, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa dropped a hint during X on May 2024, saying that the successor would be officially announced by the end of their fiscal year, which is March 2025. So, fingers crossed and controllers at the ready!

The buzz surrounding the Nintendo Switch 2 has been steadily increasing since a potential prototype was displayed at CES 2025 by accessory maker Genki. Pictures of this device quickly spread online, leading many to believe it might be the next Nintendo console. However, Nintendo later clarified to CNET that they had not provided the design and that it wasn’t an official product from their company.

Later on, Nintendo’s legal team paid a visit to Genki. Fortunately for Genki, no legal repercussions ensued due to the fact that they hadn’t entered into a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with the video game company.
