The original Switch came out in March of 2017 with a $299 price tag. Leaks and rumors suggest the Switch 2 could release in June of 2025. The price will likely fall somewhere between $399 and $499 USD.

Leaker Nate the Hate claimed that the Switch 2 reveal would happen on January 16, and as it turns out, his prediction was correct. While it could have simply been a coincidence, it still adds credibility to other claims made about the upcoming console, like what games may be in development for the Switch 2.

The Switch 2 is real, and we have seen it, but Nintendo is holding out on sharing key information about its new console for now. We still don’t have confirmatio

For one, Nintendo promised "a closer look at Switch 2" in a Direct video presentation scheduled for April 2. It would be a little weird for that "closer look" to come after the console itself was launched, so a launch before April seems out of the question.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is expected to arrive with upgraded features, like an overall bigger size with a larger LCD touchscreen, Joy-Con controllers, and a kickstand. It will be backward compatible so current Nintendo Switch 1 owners can play most of their own games when they upgrade to the Nintendo Switch 2.

Nintendo has dropped a first-look trailer for the Switch 2, and some gamers are wondering if its design is too similar to the original.
