New report claims Nintendo Switch 2 release window narrowed down to March 2025

Summary: 

• The release window for Nintendo Switch 2 has been narrowed down to March 2025.
• Nintendo wants to be prepared for any post-launch challenges they might face such as supply shortages.
• Nintendo Switch 2 will also be based on the hybrid design philosophy introduced by its predecessor.

Nintendo’s upcoming console, which is called the Switch 2, has been expected to launch in the second half of 2024. However, certain reports claimed that it could be postponed until 2025. The news got leaked after Nintendo started informing its developer partners about the unforeseeable delay.

A new report by Nikkei has revealed that the release window for the Nintendo Switch 2 has been narrowed down to March 2025. However, the source claims that the time frame could be further delayed. It all comes down to Nintendo’s production capabilities.

Nintendo wants to be prepared for any challenges they might face such as supply shortages or price scalping. It shows that the gaming giant is taking on a different approach than when the Switch was released. The primary objective is to fulfill launch demand even if this means delaying the launch.

The report also talked about Nintendo’s desire to establish a first-party launch game lineup to accompany the Switch 2’s release. When the Switch was launched in 2017, there were three Nintendo-made games released to go with it. However, out of those three, only The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild turned out to be a hit.

Nintendo Switch 2 will be based on the hybrid design philosophy introduced by its predecessor. This claim has been circulating over the past few years. According to some leaks, the console will allow for docked and handheld play using a mobile system-on-chip from NVIDIA.

Nintendo Switch was announced four months before launch. By the looks of it, things might take a bit longer this time. It is expected that Nintendo will reveal the Switch 2 in June. However, these are just rumors so it would be wise to wait for an official announcement.
