The Nintendo Switch 2 is quickly becoming one of the worst-kept secrets in recent gaming history. Over the past few days, the internet has been swamped with rumors and leaks, giving fans a clearer picture of what might be Nintendo‘s next big leap in the console market. From hardware advancements to potential launch titles, speculation has reached a fever pitch. It’s no surprise—the original Switch has been a colossal success, and expectations for its successor are sky-high.
Recent leaks have painted an interesting picture of the Switch 2. We’ve heard about improved NVIDIA chipsets, a rumored 8-inch screen, and even magnetic Joy-Con attachments. A motherboard leak suggested a design focused on power and efficiency, hinting at a console capable of handling more demanding titles.
With all this chatter, it seems like every other day there’s a new rumor. And now, today’s leak brings even more details to light, including an announcement date, a launch window, and some eye-popping launch titles.
Nintendo Switch 2 Announcement Date, Price, Launch Title Leaked?
This comes from an insider known as Average Lucia Fanatic, who previously nailed predictions about the PS5 Pro and Nintendo Alarmo Clock. In a new post, they claimed to have inside information on the Switch 2’s announcement and launch plans.
According to this source, Nintendo plans to announce the Switch 2 next week, on Friday, January 17, 2025, and launch it on Monday, March 3, 2025. The suggested retail price in Canada? A very competitive $400.
As for the games, the insider’s post mentioned two major launch titles: Mario Kart 9 and Red Dead Redemption 2. They also teased an announcement trailer for a new 3D Mario game, which could set the stage for the console’s future lineup. Here’s the direct quote from Average Lucia Fanatic:
“I have a date for y’all. 17th January 2025. Launch day is March 3rd. Launch titles are Mario Kart 9, Red Dead Redemption 2, and an announcement trailer for a 3D Mario. Retail price in Canada is $400.”
It’s important to take this with a grain of salt, as Nintendo has not confirmed any of this information. While the leaker’s track record lends some credibility, leaks are always subject to change or misinterpretation.
Now, with launch titles like Red Dead Redemption 2 being part of the conversation, it’s clear Nintendo has big ambitions for its next-gen system. The inclusion of such a graphically intensive game could mark a major shift in how third-party developers approach Nintendo platforms.
The revenue report of Foxconn Tech suggests that Nintendo Switch 2 is already in the warehouse and is ready to ship, with mass production underway. Along with this, a recent report claims that Switch 2’s hardware will be “very capable” and will likely support modern AAA games like The Witcher 4.
With so much swirling around the Nintendo Switch 2, one thing is certain: the hype is real. If these leaks hold water, 2025 could be a landmark year for Nintendo fans.
