- There has been no shortage of Nintendo Switch 2 leaks
- An industry analyst predicts that Nintendo could soon reveal the console to combat them
- A reveal in January is a possibility.
Nintendo has officially confirmed that Nintendo Switch 2 will be revealed before March 31, 2025, but we’ve had almost no other information to help nail down a specific date. While it seems all but guaranteed that time has run out to unveil the console in 2025, one industry analyst believes an early January reveal could be on the cards.
Speaking to Eurogamer, Serkan Toto, CEO of industry consultancy Kantan Games, stated that “Nintendo won’t have much time in January, so a possible announcement at the beginning of the month could make sense.”
Interestingly, Toto predicts that the spate of recent Nintendo Switch 2 leaks may affect the reveal. “You can bet Nintendo is aware of all the leaks and is not happy about them,” he said. He then added that they “could have Nintendo release information sooner than planned.”
As for exactly what’s been leaked so far, there’s so much that it’s almost difficult to boil it down into a format that fits on this page. More recently, we learned that the console could come in an orange and blue color scheme with absolutely horrible sound.
There’s also no shortage of details about its supposed design, including the general look of its stand, the fact that its Joy-Con controllers are magnetically attached, and the presence of the mysterious new ‘C’ button on the right controller. We may even already know the console’s official name: simply ‘Nintendo Switch 2’ if the latest leaks are to be believed.
Combine all of this with the few details of official information we’ve received, such as confirmation that the console will be backward compatible with Nintendo Switch software, and you have a pretty complete picture of the undisclosed system.
It makes a lot of sense that Nintendo would want to get ahead of more leaks by releasing the first trailer soon, but we’ll have to wait and see if that January prediction comes true.
