By ForGeeks Since it was revealed that the Nintendo Switch 2 is indeed in development, rumors about the new console have been persistent on the internet.

Now, new rumors have added specifics regarding a release date – and it’s just around the corner, which is in line with previously reported speculation. The Nintendo Switch 2 will reportedly be released in March or April 2025.

Rumor details and source of information
The news was spotted on Tom’s Guide, which links to a podcast on Spanish website Vandal. The podcast featured Blade CEO Ruben Mercado, who makes gaming peripherals. Ruben said that his company has gotten access to nearly completed samples of the Nintendo Switch 2, and that the console is «ready» for release. He believes the release could come in March or April 2025, which is consistent with earlier information about the Switch 2’s release date.

Possible release date and Nintendo’s strategic plans
Ruben Mercado believes Nintendo could choose either of the two months to release the new console, but the final decision will depend on the current state of the company. In Japan, the fiscal year begins April 1, so Nintendo could release the console either before or after that date, depending on its perceived financial trajectory. If the company feels that it hasn’t reached its desired profit for fiscal year 2024, it could accelerate the Switch 2’s release to March to bolster its numbers for the rest of the year. If things are going well for the company, Nintendo will likely opt to delay the release until April to start fiscal year 2025 with strong sales.

Rumors of new Nintendo Switch 2 features
Ruben also mentioned a previous rumor that hinted at magnetic mounts for the new console’s controllers. While it’s worth treating such rumors with a degree of skepticism, it seems that this information may have some basis in fact. Given the potential for innovation in controller design, Nintendo could once again surprise fans with some interesting functionality.
Waiting for Switch 2: realistic predictions
Information about a new Nintendo Switch 2 coming out in March or April 2025 is in line with the expectations of many fans and experts, given that the original Switch has been on the market for quite some time and an update is only a matter of time. Ultimately, all information remains at the rumor level for now and there has been no official confirmation from Nintendo yet. But many experts agree that spring 2025 could be the beginning of a new era for Nintendo fans.
