Major gaming hardware manufacturer and publisher Nacon has predicted that the Nintendo Switch 2 could launch as early as April. In its most recent quarterly report, Nacon stated that it was expecting a successful first half of the 2025/26 fiscal year, which runs from April to September 2025, thanks to "several positive factors."

After breathless speculation and much digital ink spilled, Nintendo unveiled the Nintendo Switch 2, the successor to its hugely successful console, in a video. Aside from its appearance of it, not much is known about the system.

As we noted on our Switch 2 live blog, price speculation has ranged from $399 up to $499... and the newest leak suggests that that premium price could be closer to the truth. Citing an anonymous source, X user @Shpeshal_Nick explained that he was told the new Nintendo console could set you back $449 or as much as $499 at launch.
