Supposed Nintendo Switch 2 Announcement Date Revealed by Leaker

Summary

Nintendo's highly anticipated Switch 2 is reportedly set for an official announcement on Thursday, January 16th. Interestingly, the original Switch was also unveiled on a Thursday in 2016.

A well-regarded leaker, NateTheHate, revealed the January 16th date on his podcast, citing unnamed sources. This aligns with Nintendo's history of making major announcements on Thursdays. The Verge's Tom Warren independently corroborated this date. This early 2025 reveal strongly suggests a first-half 2025 release.

The Switch 2's existence has been an open secret for some time. Mass production reportedly began in late September or early October 2024, fueled by numerous hardware leaks. Nintendo itself committed to an announcement before March 31st, 2025.

Nintendo Switch 2: Leaks Galore

While the official announcement is imminent, a pre-announcement teaser on social media, similar to the original Switch reveal, is possible. However, the sheer volume of leaks over the past months means many details are already known. The leaks have become so prevalent that Nintendo even commented on a Switch 2 replica, a rare acknowledgement of leaks.

Rumors suggest the Switch 2 will be slightly larger than the Switch OLED model (approximately 270 x 116 x 14mm), featuring an 8-inch LCD screen and magnetically attaching Joy-Cons. The right Joy-Con may include an extra "C" button, the purpose of which remains unclear, possibly related to a rumored mouse-like pointer function.

Switch 2 Launch Games: A Mystery Remains

Unlike the console itself, the Switch 2's launch lineup remains largely unknown. While My Time at Evershine and Bestiario are confirmed for the system, neither is expected to be a day-one release, assuming a first-half 2025 launch. Nintendo will likely include at least one or two major first-party titles to drive initial sales.
