Attention all gamers! Are you eager to get your hands on the new Nintendo Switch 2 before anyone else? Well, make sure to mark your calendars for the London event where you'll have the opportunity to try it out early. According to publisher Nacon, they have games and accessories specifically designed for the Nintendo Switch 2 that will be available this summer.
The official reveal for the Nintendo Switch 2 may have been short, but it definitely left us with some exciting details. One of the most anticipated announcements was the confirmation of a new Mario Kart game. But, the real juicy information is still yet to come. Nintendo has announced a Nintendo Direct event on April 2 where they will not only reveal new games, but hopefully a release date as well.
In the meantime, French publisher Nacon shared some information about the Switch 2's potential release date in a statement about their latest earnings. While Nintendo has only mentioned a vague 2025 window for the release date, Nacon has stated that they expect the console to arrive in the first half of their 2025/2026 fiscal year. This means we can possibly expect the Switch 2 to launch between April and September 2025. Nacon even mentioned that they are preparing for the launch by developing compatible games and accessories.
It's worth noting that this information from Nacon aligns with Nintendo's plans to showcase the Switch 2 at public events from April to June. So, it's not too far-fetched to believe that the console will be released in the middle of summer, even though that may seem like an unusual time for a console release.
But, this does raise the question of what Nintendo has planned for current Switch owners in the meantime. They recently released a remastered version of Donkey Kong Country Returns and will soon release a remaster of Xenoblade Chronicles X in March. However, there are still highly anticipated games like Pokémon Legends Z-A and Metroid Prime 4 with no exact release date. Rumor has it that Nintendo will be holding a Pokémon showcase and a regular Nintendo Direct in February, so hopefully we'll get more information about these games then.
On a side note, if there is indeed a Nintendo Direct in February, it's highly likely that we'll hear some news about Metroid Prime 4.
