Nintendo Switch successor to be announced by March 31 2025

Read from eurogamer:

A report claiming Nintendo Switch 2 will now launch in Q1 2025 is spreading online.

Brazilian games journalist Pedro Henrique Lutti Lippe has stated Nintendo is now looking to release its next console in early 2025, though still within the 2024 financial year. The report is based on development sources now targeting that quarter for launch.

Eurogamer has heard similar whispers of an early 2025 launch from industry sources this week, though has not been able to concretely substantiate them. Nintendo Switch 2 had previously been widely tipped to arrive later this year. A move to the other side of Christmas into early 2025 would mean more time for the console's launch line-up to be readied, while keeping the financial benefit of Switch 2's launch within Nintendo's upcoming financial calendar.
I'm sure we'll hear 3-4 more news about different Nintendo Switch 2 release dates before the end of 2024 :)

Very possible.

According to a new report from Spanish outlet Vandal (thanks, VGC), the upcoming Switch successor - affectionately dubbed the 'Switch 2' - will ditch the rail system for the current Joy-Con controllers and replace it with a magnetic set up.

As such, whether the current Joy-Con controllers will actually work with the new system is unknown, as it's reported that the new console will be bigger than the current models, but it's also claimed that the Switch Pro Controller will work just fine.

Vandal claims to have received this information from numerous accessory manufacturers who have reportedly seen and touched the new console from Nintendo. While we'd still recommend taking this with a huge grain of salt, it should also be noted that the same site had correctly reported on features that would be included with the Switch OLED based on tips from accessory manufacturers, including a new kickstand and an ethernet port.

While it was assumed the Switch 2 would launch at some point in 2024, it's now looking increasingly likely that we'll see the console in 2025.
 
Hopefully the magnetic force will be strong enough, or you could accidentally drop the screen while playing it in portable mode.

Looks like someone might have leaked a lot of details?

Switch 2 will be clocked "crazy, crazy low" in handheld mode according to the latest leaks.

We know that Nintendo's next-gen Switch 2 is on the way, with a new Tegra SoC that has a GPU based on mostly NVIDIA's previous-gen Ampere GPU architecture, but borrows some tricks from current-gen Ada Lovelace, all on-the-go.

In a new video from Moore's Law is Dead, the topic of Nintendo's new Switch 2 is bought up and discussed. MLID says that we can expect "crazy, crazy low" clocks for the Switch 2 in handheld mode, far lower than 800MHz according to his sources. But when it's docked, clock speeds will reportedly 3x and the gaming experience will be amplified greatly.

Nintendo's new Switch 2 will have NVIDIA DLSS upscaling, but we don't know how -- or even if -- it'll be enabled on handheld mode. DLSS makes sense in handheld mode, as the Switch 2 would be providing far less graphical beauty in handheld mode in terms of resolution output, and AI-powerred DLSS can help that big time.

Docked for life.
 
“This is [Shuntaro] 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 this June regarding the Nintendo Switch software lineup for the latter half of 2024, but please be aware that there will be no mention of the Nintendo Switch successor during that presentation.”

 
I will be buying a Switch 2 if that's what it's called for my grandson as soon as I can get my hands on one. He loves his switch and plays it every day and never misses a day LOL.
