Nintendo Switch 2 Report Reveals Launch Window: "It Is Ready"

As a seasoned gamer with decades of gaming under my belt and a special affinity for Nintendo consoles, I can’t help but feel a mix of anticipation and skepticism regarding the Nintendo Switch 2. The rumors swirling around about its release have been as elusive as a rare Pokémon in the Kanto region.


There’s been speculation among Nintendo enthusiasts regarding the announcement and availability of the Nintendo Switch 2, but a recent statement from the CEO of a gaming accessory company hints at a possible answer for one question. The executive mentioned that the Nintendo Switch 2 is currently prepared for release, with a potential launch window in March or April. This timeline lines up with some earlier predictions suggesting a post-March debut.

The latest report on the Nintendo Switch 2 originates from the Spanish site Vandal, who interviewed Rubén Mercado, CEO of Blade – a company known for selling gaming accessories across various platforms like the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC. Mercado shared with Vandal that “the console is complete,” implying they’ve already received almost final versions of the consoles.

Mercado hinted at further growth in the potential launch timeframe of either March or April. As per the CEO of Blade, the exact launch date will partly hinge on Nintendo’s financial performance this year. If Nintendo has a strong fiscal year, it may unveil the console at the beginning of its following fiscal year, which would be April 2024.

2024 could either be March or April as potential release months for the Nintendo Switch 2 that have been mentioned before. Mercado has mirrored some earlier statements regarding the device, such as suggesting it will feature magnetic Joy-Con controllers that attach to the sides of the console. Additionally, they’ve hinted at a locking mechanism to prevent the controllers from slipping off, and there are whispers that the analog sticks might be significantly altered compared to those on the existing line of Nintendo Switch consoles.

Blade is a genuine company, and Mercado is acknowledged as the CEO (and also contributing to Vandal) in his Twitter profile. This lends some credibility to these statements, going beyond assumptions based on anonymous posts from 4chan or new Twitter accounts. On his Twitter account, Mercado addressed questions about his concerns regarding potential consequences following these leaks.

He mentioned that there are no non-disclosure agreements in place, and those parties privy to such agreements understand the limits of what they can share. He also implied that the terms of these agreements might vary by region, allowing for greater flexibility in disclosing information.

Without the PlayStation 5 Pro in sight for the moment, the Nintendo Switch 2 becomes the highly anticipated upcoming device, leaving Nintendo enthusiasts to speculate based on rumors and leaked information until Nintendo officially discloses further details regarding their new console.
