Nintendo Switch 2 Now Rumored To Be Announced In January 2025

Launch Timeline and Shipment Details

Some thrilling news about the long-rumored Nintendo Switch 2 has just been leaked. The console is said to be officially announced in January 2025 and may release only two months later, in March. Speculation says that the launch may happen at the end of March, which is bound to get every gamer across the globe super excited.

Reports have emerged that manufacturing is well underway, with more than 650,000 units shipped out to different regions. Furthermore, there have been significant component inventories built up since September this year, which points to the fact that Nintendo may be trying to ensure a worldwide release without too much fuss.

This new rumor comes via a Weibo post, as pointed out by Nintendo Prime in a video recently. Usually, random posts on Chinese forums mean nothing, but this user has a history of leaking things correctly.

The Gaming Leaks and Rumors subreddit endorses this source, stating that the same user correctly predicted several major Nintendo announcements, including the hard-to-predict Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky The First remake. Curiously, this user has deleted all their posts since then, adding mystery to their insider knowledge.

Insider Accuracy or Speculative Buzz?

Despite the source’s seemingly interesting track record, many fans and industry analysts have kept their expectations in a more conservative tone. It sounds plausible, but talk is cheap until it has been confirmed. If indeed true, gamers will not need to wait for long as January 2025 is coming just around the corner.

What to Expect?

However, Nintendo has not commented on these rumors, and therefore the Nintendo Switch 2 remains speculative over its features and capabilities. With the release of its predecessor, which transformed the gaming world and portable gaming, expectations are indeed sky-high.

As the gaming community waits over what more can be known, one thing is sure: Nintendo Switch 2 is surely shaping up to be one of the most exciting launches in recent gaming history. Stay tuned for official details over the next few months.
