Rumor: Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Said to Be This Thursday, January 16
[summaraize]
The past few weeks in video game news have been filled with leaks and rumors about Nintendo’s next console, rumored to be Switch 2. Nintendo has promised to reveal this new system to the public before April 2025, and the internet can’t stop talking about it.
If you’re tired of waiting amid all the leaks, the most recent reports state the reveal is happening this week!
Will the Nintendo Switch 2 Be Revealed This Thursday?
According to reliable leaker Nate The Hate, the announcement could happen as early as this Thursday, January 16. “I can share with you that Nintendo Switch 2 will be revealed in the coming week… I have been told Switch 2 will be revealed on Thursday, January 16… just a few days from now,” they said.
Adding to the speculation, Tom Warren from The Verge also wrote on X/Twitter: “In case it wasn’t obvious from my tease in Notepad last week, I’ve heard it should be the Switch 2 reveal this week.” Similarly, Eurogamer has also backed these claims, stating that industry whispers they’ve heard also point to a Thursday reveal.
The reveal is reportedly focused almost entirely on the hardware itself, with little to no focus on games. While gameplay might be showcased in the background or during a trailer, the presentation is not expected to highlight software.
This aligns with reports from VGC, whose sources suggest that Nintendo might repeat its 2016 strategy for the original Switch announcement: a two-part reveal, with the initial presentation dedicated to the console and a later one focused on games.
The podcast also speculates that the Switch 2 could launch between May and June this year. Among the anticipated launch titles are a new Mario Kart game, with a 3D Mario platformer potentially releasing by late 2025.
As always, this kind of information should be taken with a grain of salt until Nintendo confirms it officially. If true, more details should emerge soon, as the console’s reveal is allegedly just days away.
In other Nintendo news, a Nintendo Switch 2 case and screen protector have reportedly leaked on Alibaba, hinting that the new console might have a bigger screen.
