Rumors have surfaced online about the announcement of a new portable console from Nintendo – Nintendo Switch 2. Here's what's known.

Announcement and Launch

The announcement of the new console is set for January 17 of this year, with the release for sale on March 7. The rumors are supported by the fact that Nintendo is testing new hardware capabilities for the new generation to provide users with an innovative experience in both portable and stationary modes.

Price

According to rumors, Nintendo's new console will cost $400. The price of the console itself is average for a portable console, which should make more people willing to buy it.

Two Models at Launch

It is expected that from the very launch, two different console models will hit the market. This might be very similar to Nintendo's approach in the previous generation, where standard and Lite versions were introduced. One model will have more technical capabilities and a higher price, while the other will be lighter for a more budget-friendly segment.

Upcoming Releases

New titles may appear on Nintendo's console, including:

Halo — the legendary game from Microsoft that might become available on Switch 2, expanding the boundaries of cross-platform collaboration.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth — the follow-up to the remake of the cult classic game, which is also rumored to be planned for the new console.

RDR2 – One of the most popular games from Rockstar Games, the continuation of RDR.

Mario Kart 9 – The new installment of Mario Kart is anticipated and might become one of the main games for the new console.

What to Expect from Switch 2?

The new generation of portable consoles from Nintendo promises to be more powerful than the previous one. It might be powerful enough to compete with Steam Deck or at least reach its capabilities. As we understood, there will be two versions of the console presented: Lite and standard. Which one to choose is your decision.

We eagerly await the official announcement!
