Rumors about Nintendo’s next console, the Switch 2, have surfaced, suggesting it will be more expensive than the original and will come in two models. According to a reliable leaker, the digital-only version of the Switch 2 is expected to retail for $400, while the standard edition will be priced $50 higher.
The rumored release date for the Switch 2 is September 24, 2024, with a fallback release date of November 3 in case of any delays. It’s worth noting that the console is expected to feature AR (Augmented Reality) capabilities and may not include an OLED display.
These details come from SoldierDelta, a member of The Snitch’s Discord server, who has had a track record of credible leaks in the past. However, their reliability is not as well-established as The Snitch’s. The pricing and dual-model lineup mentioned by SoldierDelta are subject to change but have been emphasized by the leaker as current plans.
The leaker also mentioned that the codename “NG” was used during development, although it’s not the official name Nintendo uses internally. The original Nintendo Switch had the codename “NX” before its official announcement.
A September release window suggests that the console’s official unveiling could happen in spring 2024, aligning with previous rumors that the Switch 2 might be announced around the seventh anniversary of the original Nintendo Switch. As with any rumors, the accuracy of these details remains to be confirmed by Nintendo.
When Nintendo does provide more information about the Switch 2, it will be interesting to see which of these leaks turn out to be accurate.
