Rumors and speculation about the Nintendo Switch 2 continue to build, with analysts and insiders suggesting a likely release between April and June 2025. Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa has confirmed that an official announcement will be made by March 31, 2025. The new console is expected to feature enhanced hardware, including a larger 1080p screen and magnetically attached controllers, as well as backward compatibility with current Switch games. Developers have reportedly been informed not to expect the Switch 2 to launch before April 2025, aligning with Nintendo's focus on avoiding past console shortages.
