Recently, there have been a lot of rumors about the Nintendo Switch 2, and we recently reported that this next-gen console will be backwards compatible with Switch games and will be able to improve the graphics quality of older games, which is undoubtedly good news for gamers. However, the latest revelations from Brazilian gaming journalist Pedro Henrique Lutti Lippe are bad news, as the Switch 2 is not expected to be released in 2024 as rumored.
Brazilian gaming journalist Pedro Henrique Lutti Lippe claims to have gotten information from 5*** that Nintendo plans to launch the Switch 2 in the first quarter of 2025, while **Eurogamer also reported that they have heard "similar news" about the next-gen console, and Nintendo has postponed the release date of the Switch 2 to the first quarter of 2025. The game's VGC said that third-party developers developing games for Nintendo have been notified of the postponement of the release schedule.
Previously, it was rumored that the Switch 2 will be launched at the end of 2024, and there are reports that the release date will be postponed to the beginning of next year, due to internal delays in Nintendo. A game publishing industry source revealed to VGC that Nintendo hopes to postpone the release date so that it has more time to prepare a stronger lineup of its own games. At this stage, it is not clear what "escort" games Nintendo Switch 2 will have at the time of release. Rumor has it that it will include Metroid Prime 4 and 3D Mario.
