Everything we know about the Nintendo Switch 2

Finally, we have confirmation from Nintendo that a Switch console successor is coming! Well...sort of. All we actually have to go on is a tweet posted via X back in May, where the President of Nintendo stated that an announcement about the successor to Nintendo Switch will be made "within this fiscal year", which if we go by Nintendo's calendar, means we'll hear more before March 2025.

The so-called Nintendo Switch 2 (or is that Super Nintendo Switch? [or is that Switch Pro?]) has been rumoured for years now, but we're yet to hear anything else official about the souped-up Switch sequel. Gamers were a little disappointed when Nintendo revealed the Switch OLED model in 2021 since it wasn't exactly 'Pro' – aside from a brighter display. This new console offered little in the way of spec upgrades, and then in 2022 and 2023 we got nothing.

Disclaimer

The most recent rumours we've heard about the Nintendo Switch 2 give us some clues on the official release date (which could be earlier than we originally thought), plus potential logo concepts, a description of the dock, and something about lasers? Stick with us as we find out more.
