Supposed Nintendo Switch 2 Announcement Date Revealed by Leaker

Summary

Nintendo is reportedly announcing the Nintendo Switch 2 on Thursday, January 16th, mirroring the original Switch's Thursday reveal in 2016. This early 2025 announcement suggests a potential first-half release.

The Switch 2's existence is hardly a secret, with mass production reportedly beginning in late September or early October 2024. Numerous hardware leaks since then corroborate this, and Nintendo itself has committed to an announcement before March 31st, 2025. Reliable leaker NateTheHate, citing unnamed sources, solidified the January 16th date on his January 13th podcast, a claim supported by Tom Warren of The Verge. Thursdays have historically been favored for Nintendo announcements, as seen with the original Switch reveal.

Nintendo Switch 2: Leaks Abound

Whether Nintendo will follow the original Switch's pattern of a pre-announcement teaser remains to be seen. However, with months of extensive leaks—including Nintendo addressing a replica console—the reveal may hold few surprises for attentive fans. Rumors suggest a slightly larger console than the Switch OLED (270 x 116 x 14mm) with an 8-inch LCD screen, magnetically attaching Joy-Cons, and a new "C" button on the right Joy-Con, possibly related to a rumored mouse-like pointer function.

Nintendo Switch 2 Launch Lineup: Still Unclear

The launch game lineup remains shrouded in mystery. While My Time at Evershine and Bestiario are confirmed, neither is expected at launch (assuming a first-half 2025 release). Nintendo will likely include at least one or two major first-party titles to drive initial sales.
