Possible Release Date for Nintendo Switch 2 Revealed

A new leak about the Nintendo Switch 2 suggests fans may have to wait a bit longer than expected for the next-gen console. While most rumors this year pointed to a Q1 2025 launch (sometime between January and March), a fresh report claims the release window has shifted.

The latest details, shared by industry insider Nate the Hate, suggest the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal will take place between late January and early February 2025. This will reportedly be followed by a major event in May 2025, with the console’s release planned for late May or early June—just weeks after the big showcase.

The report doesn’t dive into specifics about launch titles, but fans are speculating that the Switch 2 will debut alongside a new 3D Mario game and possibly a new Mario Kart, based on previous rumors.

This information comes with some skepticism, as Nate the Hate has a mixed track record. While they’ve provided reliable scoops in the past, they were also heavily involved in the now-debunked Nintendo Switch Pro rumors. As always, fans are advised to take this with a grain of salt.

Additionally, even if this timeline is accurate, plans could still shift. Console reveal dates are more flexible than release dates, and delays are always possible in the gaming industry.

Nintendo, as expected, has not commented on this report. The company typically remains silent on rumors and speculation, and there’s no reason to believe this will change. If official information becomes available, we’ll keep you updated.
