Alright, gamers, buckle up because Nintendo’s latest console is the worst-kept secret since your buddy’s embarrassing Fortnite dance at prom. The Nintendo Switch 2 is rumored to drop soon, like really soon, but don’t hold your breath—unless you’re trying to beat your underwater Mario record.
So, Nintendo’s big boss spilled the beans: yep, a new console is coming. But when? Well, it might be next month, or maybe next year, or maybe when you’ve finally stopped playing Animal Crossing. Some leakers are out here saying there’s a new commercial already filmed, but they’re like, “Can’t confirm it tho, don’t @ me.”
This thing could be as powerful as an Xbox Series S, which is just a fancy way of saying it’s gonna be beastly. Rumor has it the Switch 2 will feature a chip so advanced, it’s like the final boss of tech. Plus, some insider says it might even have fancy ray-tracing—so you’ll see every pixelated blade of grass in Zelda in 4K glory. Eat your heart out, Steam Deck.
Alright, here’s the kicker: the price is rumored to be anywhere between “not cheap” and “your entire allowance for the next five years.” Leaks suggest it could range from $399 to $499. That’s a lot of chores and a lot of saving up, so maybe start being extra nice to your parents, huh?
Look, Nintendo’s playing hard to get. We might see it in early 2025, unless they change their mind again. So keep your hype levels in check, because there’s still a lot of mystery around this thing. But hey, at least you’ve got plenty of time to convince your folks it’s a “necessary educational tool.”
Stay tuned, keep gaming, and may your joy-cons never drift!
