Switch 2 Overview:

Release Date: Confirmation on the Horizon

Nintendo has officially confirmed the Switch 2's existence. While a concrete release date remains undisclosed, President Shuntaro Furukawa has promised an announcement before the fiscal year's end (March 31, 2025).

Price Point: A Premium Handheld

Expect a higher price than previous Switch models, reflecting enhanced hardware and general market inflation. Considering the original Switch's $299.99 and the Switch OLED's $349.99 price points, a $349.99 to $399.99 range seems plausible for the Switch 2.

Specifications: PS4/Xbox One-Level Power

The Switch 2 is likely to utilize a next-generation Nvidia system-on-a-chip, potentially surpassing the Tegra X1 in current models. Some reports suggest the use of Nvidia's T239, potentially matching the processing power of the PS4 and Xbox One.

Analyst Hiroshi Hayase from Omdia predicts an 8-inch screen. While Sharp Corp. previously confirmed supplying LCD panels, recent rumors point to an OLED display at launch.

Rumored Specs and Features:

Reports suggest a significant power boost with an 8-core Cortex-A78AE processor, 8GB of RAM, and a substantial 512GB of storage. Improved battery life exceeding 9 hours and a 120Hz OLED display are also anticipated. A potential co-processor for enhanced docked 4K performance is also rumored.

Launch Titles: Awaiting Official Confirmation

No official launch titles have been announced. With the anticipated announcement before March 31st, 2025, some existing 2024/2025 Switch titles might be delayed or become Switch 2 exclusives. For more on upcoming games, please see the link below.
