This could, of course, be PlayStation’s Project Q, but with the VGC report and the close ties between Nintendo and Sharp, we wouldn’t be surprised if this one turns out to be true. Sharp itself, who currently supplies the displays for the Nintendo Switch, previously stated in May 2023 that it had been working on an LCD screen for an unnamed gaming console, as per a Bloomberg report. A huge step backwards from the Nintendo Switch OLED, if it’s true. Video Games Chronicle (VGC) released a report stating the Switch 2 development kits were now in the hands of Nintendo’s biggest studios. The publication claimed that, according to multiple people with knowledge of the next-generation console’s plans, it “would be able to be used in portable mode, similar to the Nintendo Switch”.ĭisappointingly, two of VGC’s sources also claimed the Nintendo Switch 2 would have an LCD display instead of an OLED panel. The most recent rumours about the Nintendo Switch 2 came in late July.

We’re speculating here, but we’re leaning towards a July announcement and a September release date, given the Nintendo Switch Lite and Switch OLED were both announced in July and released in September. That second-half window release date would line up with what Nintendo’s president said in the earnings call in May. On 31 July, Video Games Chronicle released a report claiming the Nintendo Switch 2 would be released in the second half of 2024 and that sources had informed the publication that development kits of the console are “now with key partner studios”, in an effort to “ensure it has ample stock available on day one and to avoid the kind of shortages seen with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S”.

As for a release date, we know the Nintendo Switch 2 won’t be released until at least April 2024. With Furukawa’s admissions about the Switch’s flagging sales at Nintendo’s May earnings call, the Nintendo Switch 2 is almost certainly in the pipeline. This wasn’t the Switch Pro we’d hoped for. On 6 July 2021, Nintendo unveiled the revised Switch OLED console, a modest upgrade over the OG model, with a slightly larger OLED display. Nintendo did announce a new console that year, but it wasn’t the Switch Pro. Called the Nintendo Switch Pro, it would have upgraded hardware.
