The Nintendo Switch 2 is launching sometime during March 2025, according to a new report shared online today.
Japanese publication Nikkei revealed in a new report shared today that the next console from the Japanese company, which was supposedly releasing this year but was recently delayed to 2025, will launch in around one year. According to the report, launching in early 2025 will allow Nintendo to secure a solid stock of consoles and have a good launch lineup featuring "popular titles."

Still, without an official confirmation, we have to take this release window with a grain of salt.
Very little is currently known about the Nintendo Switch 2 as of now.
