Nintendo Switch 2 rumored to launch on September 24, 2024

According to a source known as SoldierDelta, there are indications that Nintendo plans to offer two variants of this upcoming console. One will feature the traditional setup, while the other will be digital-only. It’s rumored that the regular model will be priced at $449, while the digital version will be slightly more affordable at $399. The expected release date is September 24th next year, though there is a possibility of a delay until November 3rd if any issues arise.

Contrary to previous speculations of an OLED screen, the Nintendo Switch 2 is said to feature an LED screen. Additionally, there’s been talk about the inclusion of special augmented reality (AR) capabilities, with a development codename referred to as “NG” (although this is not an official Nintendo moniker).

SoldierDelta’s credibility stems from accurate leaks in the past, and there’s a connection to another reputable leaker, The Snitch. However, it’s essential to remember that Nintendo has yet to make any official announcements regarding this new console.

According to past leaks, Nintendo Switch 2 aims to compete with its formidable rivals, the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X. Leaked details suggest that the Switch 2 will boast an impressive 12 GB of RAM, a significant upgrade from the current model’s 4 GB. This places it in a competitive position alongside the RAM capacity of the PS5 and Xbox Series consoles. Furthermore, there’s speculation that the Switch 2 may incorporate Nvidia’s cutting-edge DLSS 3.1 technology, enhancing both the visuals and gameplay of its games.

Tencent, the exclusive distributor of Nintendo Switch in China has recently released the Nintendo Switch Mario Red Edition, priced at 2,599 Yuan ($356). This special edition features a red design and offers improvements over the original model, including a larger OLED screen and increased storage capacity.
