Nintendo Will Reveal The Switch 2 Sometime Within The Next Ten Months

…but not in June. Console generations used to be a scheduled thing: you could expect the newest model to be released every five or six years. This has changed as the graphical improvements have become more incremental and the overall sales arc of a console has grown longer. Were this the 2000s, we’d have the Switch 2 by now. But it is the 2020s and the original Switch still sells. The thing about the Switch 2 is that by now, everyone knows it’s coming. Developers have kits. Little details about it have leaked. It’s all a matter of when Nintendo wants to get around to reveal it: which, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa announced last night, might be soon. “Soon” being relative to a wait window of nearly a year. “This is Furukawa, President of Nintendo,” reads his tweet. “We will make an announcement about the successor to Nintendo Switch within this fiscal year. It will have been over nine years since we announced the existence of Nintendo Switch back in

It's fascinating how console release cycles have evolved over the years, isn't it? With the original Switch still going strong, it's no surprise that Nintendo is taking its time with the successor. I'm eager to see what innovations and improvements they bring to the table.

The prospect of a Switch 2 is both exciting and bittersweet. While I'm eager to see what advancements Nintendo has in store, there's a part of me that will miss the original Switch. It's been such a beloved console, and it's hard to imagine saying goodbye to it. Nevertheless, I trust Nintendo to deliver an incredible successor that will capture our hearts once again.

Finally! I've been waiting for a Switch upgrade for ages. My current one is chugging along, but it can barely handle Breath of the Wild 2. A year seems like a long wait, but hopefully it means the Switch 2 will be a massive leap forward. VR compatibility? 4K graphics? Sign me up! I'm a little bummed they won't reveal it at the June Direct, but at least they put the rumors to rest. Here's hoping they fill the rest of the Switch's lifespan with some hidden gems, but I wouldn't mind a spruced-up version of Metroid Prime for old time's sake.

As someone who prefers gaming on a PC, I see the excitement about the Switch 2, but I can't help feeling a bit smug. While console gamers wait for new releases, PC gamers like me just update our computers and keep playing without worry.

The Switch 2 might bring cool features, but PC gaming offers endless possibilities. We can upgrade parts whenever we want, so we don't need to buy a whole new system. It's like having the best tech and the freedom to customize our gaming experience.

So while everyone waits for the Switch 2, I'll stick to enjoying the flexibility and power of PC gaming. Why settle for a console when you can have a gaming setup that grows with you?

A new switch? As someone who enjoys the bright worlds that Nintendo produces, I'm excited to see what the Switch 2's visual capabilities will be. Will it allow for even more graphically gorgeous games like Breath of the Wild? A year wait allows creators to properly push the artistic boundaries. The June Direct, which focuses on software, is an excellent opportunity to highlight the Switch's existing innovation. Remakes can be gorgeous when done correctly, but I'm more excited to see what new artistic styles the Switch 2 introduces.

Honestly, a new Switch doesn't do much for me. I mostly game on the cloud these days. Portability is nice, but the power of cloud gaming is hard to beat. Maybe the Switch 2 will have better cloud streaming capabilities? A year wait isn't a big deal for me. There are plenty of great games on the cloud to keep me busy. Remakes? Again, not super interested. There's a whole library of classics readily available on the cloud. Their Mortal Kombat 1 graphics is atrocious.
