I keep seeing this pop up. It’s been posted here before, by the way. But it says nothing about a release date, so why does that keep being mentioned? Are we just really bad at proofreading?Nintendo Switch 2 leaker just tipped price and launch date
A reliable laker who correctly predicted the price of PS Pro has suggested that Nintendo Switch 2 will launch at a base MSRP of $400.

Nintendo is expected to officially announce its upcoming console with new game bundles in October 2024, as per rumors. The new console according to another leaker is expected to feature AI integration (personalized game recommendations etc.) and dual screens (hmm, interesting! return of the DS and 3DS feature). Moreover, as per some court documents revealed in a MS-Activision trial the console will be as powerful as a PS4 (a real deal if true! I hope we will get adult games as well).
How would it connect to a TV, then? A 10-12 foot HDMI cord? That sounds incredibly cumbersome. No, HDMI is purely audio/video it does not charge. The standard now is USB-C, same as what Nintendo (smartly) went with in 2017.Who knows, does HDMI cable let you charge a device?
What if you can directly connect Switch 2 to TV (without a dock station) and use it like a Wii U gamepad?
MicroSDs are so cheap and fast now, it honestly doesn’t really even matter, anyway.I suspect there will be a base model at $400 (with shit storage) and then the *real* version at $500 with an actual usable amount of storage (like steam deck).
Nintendo are not immune to the cost of inputs in the tech industry, they will not launch anything cutting edge at $400.
I can't think of any other reason they would have two SKU'sSo completely remove the entire "switch" aspect that was such a huge success? If you want both a portable and a home console you'll need to buy both? That sounds extremely stupid.
Yeah, sounds like a messy situation if devs are supposed to make games that utilize a dual screen in handheld as well as a single screen in docked mode.Yeah how would that even work docked?
OG DS vibesDual screen for a device as big as Switch? Looks cumbersome
The different SKU could easily be related to storage. There might be a 256GB and a 512GB one. They did something similar with the WII U.I can't think of any other reason they would have two SKU's
They'll have a portal option, and a non portal option, for people that don't care about playing on the toilet
They aren't going to launch with a "Switch 2" and a "Switch 2 Pro"
Leisure Suit Larry x Princess Peach game I always wantedI'm also hoping for more adult games

Yep. A Nintendo console that can run Nintendo first party games at 4K/60 is something I would easily buy and wouldn't need anywhere the power of the PS5.Genuinely will happily pay 500 dollars for this if the unveiling is good with new quality games.
While the images are unverified, one source, who has not seen the final ‘ Switch 2’ console but has been briefed on Nintendo’s plans, told VGC that the Reddit images match what the company has told partners to expect from its design.
Switch has insane staying power, looking at local shops today, the price hasn't really changed and demand is still there after all this time.they're just doing what sony and microsoft have done. nothing wrong with it. switch is successful and popular. they'd be stupid to try anything different.
PlayStation portal has regular LCD. It’s not even a year old.The most fascinating thing to me is people here "hoping" for an OLED screen like its a marvelous thing to get in 2025!
Nintendo has conditioned these poor souls to a very low standard
Having money leads to being able to spend more money, but not for nothing. Usually want more power for more money.What the Pro announcement does to a mf.
From what I read they don't make 6GB 64bit modules.
Another thing to remember is they may not be calling it the "Switch 2", it could very well be called something completely differentYeah, but in that case it will be one pure portable and one hybrid, like they have with the current Switch. Not a portable and a home console. Then it's not a Switch at all anymore.
He was wrong anyway

Steam Deck is still offered with LCD.
So, yeah, OLED is a still premium feature, unfortunately.
I kinda disagree with you a little bit on this. Oled shouldn't be mandatory at all, whats being mandatory is supplying Switch 2 with a "high quality" LCD or LED or OLED or whatever .. it has to be good, not the trash they put in the early model Switch.
PsPortal btw has a fantastic LCD screen. I wouldn't mind at all Switch 2 going that route
He was wrong anyway
Takes
You can't be serious. The PS6 would have to be considerably less powerful than the PS5 for that to be realistic.Also, might I add. I am 100% confident that the ps6 and NeXbox are handheld. They will not be advancing the Xbox series X or Ps5 pro tech for next gen.
I will also add, I feel like something is happening with the public at large. I think people acrid the world are deeply angry at inflation and the state of the world.
I am not sure how well these new consoles will hit. The new iPhone preorders are not good and Apple is the most bullet proof of these companies usually.
It like we are in for a reckoning and a shift in priorities.
Not for nothing, in starting to believe in this anti tech movement that is cropping up. It will be interesting to see if it gains traction
