Some More Information Has Been Leaked on the Nintendo Switch 2

Details like the Switch 2’s release date and pricing have reportedly been leaked.

So, in my past stories, I’ve chatted about all sorts of Nintendo stuff, and you can find those linked at the end of this post. But right now, let’s dive into the juicy gossip and leaks about the next Nintendo Switch!

So, guess what, folks? We’ve got some juicy details about the next-gen Nintendo console, and it’s time for the hype train to leave the station!

Now, here’s the real deal — the next Nintendo console is slated to drop in September next year. But hold on to your Joy-Cons, there’s also a cheeky “early November” placeholder on the table. So, what does that mean? Well, we might be gearing up for pre-orders to kick off by the end of summer, just in time for the holiday season shopping frenzy.

And, here’s something that’s got us scratching our heads. The rumor mill has been churning, suggesting Nintendo is planning a massive marketing bonanza from June to August 2024. So, mark your calendars, ’cause things are about to get really interesting!

Now, let’s talk code names. The insider info says that the internal name for what we’re all calling the Nintendo Switch 2 is… wait for it… “NG.” Yep, that’s right, just two simple letters. No flashy final name to reveal just yet. But hey, it’s the mystery that keeps us on the edge of our seats, right?

But wait, there’s more! Nintendo isn’t just serving up one console variant — they’re hitting us with a double whammy. Much like Xbox and PlayStation did with their current-gen offerings, we’re getting two flavors of Nintendo goodness. The prices? Well, buckle up for this one. The “standard” model is coming in hot at $449, while the digital-only option is sliding in at $400.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. That “standard” version is rumored to be besties with game cartridges, just like the OG Nintendo Switch. Heck, it might even be friendly with your beloved Switch games through some sweet backward compatibility magic. But, and it’s a big but, the digital edition is all about the Nintendo eShop. No cartridges allowed.

Here’s the head-scratcher, though. The prices are pretty darn close, right? The PS5 Digital Edition came out $100 cheaper at launch, which made it a real eye-catcher. A $50 price difference doesn’t seem like a big enough carrot to convince us to ditch physical games. But hey, at least Nintendo’s giving us options, right?

Now, if you’re a die-hard Switch fan, you might be wondering, “Do I really need to upgrade?” Well, with some fantastic game releases still rolling in even six years after the OG Switch dropped, it’s a valid question. But let’s not get too ahead of ourselves. This leak might be the real deal, or it might be a bunch of hot air. Until Nintendo dishes out the official deets, it’s always wise to take these speculations with a grain of salt.

Final Words

So, folks, keep those controllers charged, stay tuned for updates, and let the excitement simmer.

Nintendo’s got something big cookin’, and we’re all eagerly waiting to take a bite of that gaming goodness!
