Production for the next version of Nintendo Switch might start imminently, according to a report by Money DJ (via Universo Nintendo). As revealed by Weltrend Semiconductor, Inc.’s latest financial reports, their CEO Tony Lin highlighted a surge in demand for semiconductor chips during the company’s third quarter. This period spans from October to December, and industry experts believe that the tentatively named “Switch 2” could be launched during the first half of 2025. This timeline suggests that Nintendo may make an announcement soon.

As a dedicated Nintendo gamer, I’ve been eagerly awaiting news about the successor to my beloved Switch. So far, information has been scarce, with Nintendo only dropping hints occasionally. They’ve confirmed that they’ll reveal more details before their fiscal year ends on March 31st. Initially, there was hope that we might see this new system launch around the same time as the original Switch, which debuted on March 3rd, 2017. But, recent whispers in the gaming community suggest that the release could be delayed beyond the current fiscal year, meaning we probably won’t get our hands on it until at least April or May.

It’s clear that the existing Nintendo Account system will persist, and there appears to be a reduced time gap between the announcement and launch of the new system compared to previous ones (a pattern consistent with recent reports). It seems like Nintendo’s in-house development teams are primarily working on games for the upcoming system. While the Switch has continued to get first-party games throughout 2024, the majority have been smaller titles developed by external studios. For instance, Good-Feel is responsible for “Princess Peach: Showtime!”, and next month’s “The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom” appears to be Grezzo’s creation.

The Nintendo Switch has enjoyed remarkable popularity over the years, and it won’t be under eight years old by the time a new system is unveiled. Such longevity for a gaming platform is truly impressive, but eager fans are already speculating about what the future holds. Here’s hoping we receive some solid updates soon to catch a glimpse of the next phase in Nintendo’s evolution!
