Nintendo Switch 2: A January Reveal and March Release?
A New Leak Points to an Early 2025 Launch
Nintendo has been relatively quiet about the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch successor. While we know it’s coming and will be released before March 2025, the exact release date remains a mystery.
However, a recent leak from CentroLeaks on X suggests that Nintendo could unveil the Switch 2 as early as January 2025, with a March release to follow. While this aligns with some previous launch leaks, it’s important to approach this information with caution.
A Chinese insider claims that Nintendo Switch 2 is getting revealed in January for a March launch.

A Tight Timeline?
Typically, Nintendo has announced new consoles several months before their release. A two-month window between announcement and launch would be unusual for the company. However, it’s not entirely impossible, especially considering the growing anticipation for the Switch 2.
What We Know So Far about the Nintendo Switch 2
Despite the lack of official details, we’ve gathered some information about the upcoming console:
- Backward Compatibility: The Switch 2 will be backwards compatible with existing Switch games.
- Display: It’s expected to feature an OLED display.
- Dual Processors: The console may have two processors, one for handheld mode and one for docked mode.
- Redesigned Joy-Cons: The Joy-Cons are rumoured to have a magnetic attachment and a larger size.
As we approach the end of 2024, we can expect more official information from Nintendo. Stay tuned for the latest updates on the Switch 2.
