Anyone who was hoping we’d get a new Nintendo Switch this year is in for a treat. According to the latest reports, the Nintendo Switch 2, as the console is currently called, won’t be available until April 1, 2025 at the earliest, which is later than the company originally planned.
Why is this important?

In the news: Chris Dring, President of GamesIndustry.biz, on his podcast, via VGCDevelopers are reportedly not expecting to release the Nintendo Switch 2 before the end of Nintendo’s current fiscal year. That year ends on March 31, 2025.
- This news is eye-catching. Back in May, Nintendo CEO Shuntaro Furukawa announced that we would get an announcement about the Switch 2 before that day.
- According to Dring, this official announcement is likely to come in April or May 2025. There is a chance that Nintendo will share a very small teaser about its new console before then.
