Disappointment looms for Nintendo fans as reports confirm a delay in the release of the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch successor, tentatively named “Switch 2.” Originally speculated to launch late this year, sources now indicate a target launch window in the first quarter of 2025.
Brazilian journalist Pedro Henrique Lutti Lippe, supported by Eurogamer and VGC, revealed insider information pointing to the revised launch timeline. This shift is attributed to internal delays, possibly related to software development, as Nintendo aims to bolster its first-party game lineup for a stronger launch.
While specifics regarding launch titles remain undisclosed, rumors suggest exciting prospects like Metroid Prime 4 and a new 3D Mario installment. Nintendo’s decision to delay reportedly aims to ensure a more robust gaming experience for users.
Despite the setback, anticipation remains high for the Nintendo Switch 2, which is expected to feature an upgraded 8-inch display. In a glimpse of its capabilities, a prototype of the console was showcased to developers using a modified version of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
