Nintendo Switch 2 And the timing of the official announcement has long been on the minds of fans, encouraged by the gaming company’s immense secrecy surrounding the highly anticipated gaming console. Now a new report from a leaker is making the rounds on the Internet. This report claimed to know exactly when the Nintendo Switch 2 would be announced. Therefore, fans were excited to find out all the details about this blockbuster.

Here’s what we learned from the Nintendo Switch 2 announcement.

Nintendo is expected to announce the Switch 2 on January 16th

According to reports, Nintendo Switch 2 will be officially announced on January 16, 2025.

This information comes from scooper and podcaster Nate the Hate. He confirmed this in the latest episode of his podcast. This scoop was later confirmed by Tom Warren of The Verge. He mentioned via X that the Nintendo Switch 2 would be announced this week.

In his video, Nate the Hate mentioned that he heard that the Switch 2 reveal would be entirely focused on the console and its capabilities. He added that fans shouldn’t expect games to be revealed for the console.

However, since this information does not come directly from Nintendo, fans must take it with a grain of salt. However, fans may not have to wait long. This is because Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa announced via X in May 2024 that the Switch successor should be announced by the end of the fiscal year, i.e. in March 2025.

The hype surrounding Nintendo Switch 2 has only grown since an apparent replica of the gaming console was unveiled at CES 2025. It was presented by the accessories manufacturer Genki and shortly afterwards pictures appeared on the Internet. This eventually caught Nintendo’s attention. Nintendo later told CNET that it was not an official design and that they had not provided it to the company.

Nintendo’s lawyers later visited Genki. However, there were reportedly no legal consequences for the latter. This is because they have not signed an NDA agreement with the gambling company.
