Nintendo Switch 2 is the talk of the player’s community who are wondering when it will get released. On the one hand, there is no official announcement or even a comment on the existence of the gaming console.
And on the other hand we are continuously having news updates or rumours on features and release window of Nintendo Switch 2.
In the middle of all this, once again we are hearing about that gaming console that is delayed to be launched in 2025. In this article, we are going to discuss that only. So without any delays let’s dive in.
Nintendo Switch 2 Delayed Launch
Earlier there were news that the Nintendo Switch 2 is set to launch in the later months of 2024. However, now we are hearing that it has been delayed to the early months of 2025.
This is a bit of disappointment for the players who were waiting for this one of the most anticipated gaming consoles. But once again this news is not from the official announcement but from sources.
While talking with Eurogamer, Bloomberg, and VGC, sources claimed that Nintendo has been talking with game publishers that the Nintendo Switch 2 was originally planned to be launched during the late months of 2024. However, there is a change and now the gaming console has slipped to the early months of 2025, in March at that.
Till now we don’t know to what extent it’s true, however, if that’s the case then it will be an exciting year for the predecessor of the expected gaming console. Talking about the original Nintendo Switch has recently passed 139. 36 million units sold.
About the games, we know that it is standing on the first-party front and we know just a few titles launching this year on Switch.
These are Princess Peach: Showtime, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door remake, and Luigui’s Mansion 2 HD. In short, we can say the year is going to be big for Nintendo Switch as it prepares for some major remasters and remakes.
Also, it is preparing some new entries of its huge and beloved franchises for the Nintendo Switch 2.
As Serkan Toto, a Tokyo-based analyst told Bloomberg, “Nintendo is likely looking at a pretty dry pipeline this year. The company will still try to keep the blockbusters for the next console, so 2024 might see more remakes of old Nintendo hits. In any case, 2024 will be a lot tougher for Nintendo without a new device.”
