Nintendo (finally) opens up about the release date of Switch 2 [Agg.]

Update 10/05 at 08.03: An important clarification comes from GamesIndustry.biz regarding the alleged release date of Switch 2: president Shuntaro Furukawa has never officially declared that it will be released after March 31, 2025, but it’s just not currently included in the current fiscal year forecast.

In other words, although it is possible that the launch of Nintendo Switch 2 will take place after the end of the fiscal year, the house of Kyoto has not yet declared with absolute certainty that it will not be released by March 31, 2025leaving a small window open.

We will continue to monitor the situation and will keep you updated on our pages as soon as further clarifications arrive in this regard.

Original article: The life cycle of the Nintendo Switch is ending and we’ve been thinking (for a while now) about Switch 2or whatever the next generation of consoles from the Kyoto company will be called, with the question on exit date which is still pending obviously.

Nintendo Switch 2 could arrive very calmly, because Nintendo’s sales show no signs of decreasing even after so many years after the release of the hybrid console.

And it is precisely from the latest financial projections released by Nintendo that the first useful information emerges on the exit date of Nintendo Switch 2, which was suggested by President Furukawa.

As reported IGN USIn fact, Nintendo has stated that Switch 2 won’t be released until April 2025.

The information comes from the aforementioned investor Q&A session, in which president Shuntaro Furukawa confirmed that widespread forecasts do not include sales of the new console.

As the next financial year ends on March 31, 2025at least until that date the Japanese company will not put the Nintendo Switch 2 on sale. So the official release of the console will arrive from that date onwards.

In any case, we will see the console much sooner, because the company has already announced that it will show the console before the end of the fiscal year, and all other information will be released “in phases” in the coming times.

In the same meeting, Nintendo also hinted at another cryptic information about Nintendo Switch 2, precisely about its features and features which, apparently, will not go much beyond the current offer of the console on the market.

Meanwhile, Furukawa confirmed that Switch 2 will continue to use the existing Nintendo Account system for Switch and Nintendo’s mobile games. So you can continue to buy the games (you can find them on Amazon) with peace of mind.
