Exciting and disappointing news await gaming enthusiasts eagerly awaiting the arrival of the next generation Nintendo Switch 2. According to reports, the highly anticipated console is likely to be released in the second half of next year, which aligns with the recent distribution of Switch 2 development kits to major studios. However, the positive outlook ends there, as recent price leaks indicate that the Switch 2 may come with a hefty price tag.
Industry insider Zippo has revealed that the Switch 2 could be the most expensive console ever produced by Nintendo. At launch, the console is expected to cost $399, a $100 increase compared to the initial price of the original Switch when it debuted in 2017. Should the rumors hold true, UK customers may have to shell out around £370, putting it in the same price range as the PS5 Digital Edition.
Adding to the disappointment, reports suggest that the Nintendo Switch 2 will feature an LCD display instead of the superior OLED screen. This decision is believed to have been driven by Nintendo’s desire to reduce costs.
The growing speculation about the release of a Nintendo Switch successor has gained traction in recent months, with numerous leaks shedding light on the matter. Chinese site MoneyDJ reported that a company called Hongzhun is currently manufacturing metal cases for the new console. These reports are further supported by Microsoft court documents, which indicate a potential 2024 release date for the Nintendo Switch 2.
When it comes to games for the Nintendo Switch 2, the lack of official footage has left room for speculation. However, industry insiders suggest that Metroid Prime 4 and a new 3D Mario game could potentially be part of the console’s lineup at launch.
