Nintendo made important statements about the Switch console. The company officially confirmed that it is working on a new device and said that this console will be compatible with Switch. So it will be possible to access the Switch library from the new model.

When will Nintendo Switch 2 be released?

Nintendo has confirmed that it is working on the new model of the Switch console, which has left its mark on recent years. The new console, called Switch 2, is scheduled to be introduced before March 31, 2025. However, experts are skeptical about the timing of the announcement.

Toyo Securities analyst Hideki Yasuda thinks that the company will not make an announcement this year because it does not want to distract attention at Christmas. On the other hand, the Nintendo Switch, launched in 2017, is now eight years old and sales are slowing down.

In light of this information, it is estimated that Nintendo is planning a launch for Switch 2 between April, May and June. It’s also worth noting that Nintendo will announce its new console by March 2025, but the price will become clear before the launch.

Nintendo lowered its console sales forecast for the current fiscal year from 13.5 million to 12.5 million and cut its operating profit forecast by 10 percent to $2.4 billion. Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa acknowledged that the current platform is successful.

It said sales so far have fallen short of the company’s 2024 forecasts, leading to revised estimates. The company’s revenues in the last fiscal year were boosted by the success of titles such as The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Super Mario Bros. Movies.
