He mentioned that the hardware sales for the fiscal year ending on March 2025 doesn't include the Nintendo Switch's successor. And although Nintendo believes the announcement of the Nintendo Switch's successor and future related announcements do affect Nintendo Switch sales, Shuntaro Furukawa also mentioned that Nintendo hopes to maximise Nintendo's hardware sales forecast of 13.5 million units by maintaining a good balance between new demand and demand for multiple systems, although that's not easily achievable. Shuntaro Furukawa mentioned that investments in the Nintendo Switch's successor is not Nintendo's main focus of cash utilisation since investment in the Nintendo Switch's successor has already been carried out as part of Nintendo's normal business activities. He confirmed that Nintendo Accounts will continued to be actively used for the Nintendo Switch's successor. Shuntaro Furukawa also mentioned that although digital sales has grown with the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo's policy is to maximise game software sales, including physical software sales, and not only digital software sales, which will not change moving forward. He also mentioned that Nintendo needs to enhance the user friendliness for both consumers who play physical software and digital software. Shuntaro Furukawa mentioned that Nintendo doesn't expect semiconductor supply to be an issue with the Nintendo Switch's successor since there's currently no semiconductor shortage like back in 2022. He also mentioned that information about the Nintendo Switch's successor will be released in stages leading up to launch, like with previous hardware announcements. And Shuntaro Furukawa mentioned that although Nintendo will devote the fiscal year ending in March 2025 to preparing the Nintendo Switch's successor, Nintendo's top priority is to maintain the Nintendo Switch's momentum and preparing the Nintendo Switch's successor.

9 May 2024 →FamiBoards: Customs data from March 2024 mentions magnets are used in the Nintendo Switch's successor to connect controllers, as well as for the speakers.

~February 2024~

Relevant rumours:

26 February 2024 →Nikkei Asia: Nikkei has heard that Nintendo plans to launch the Nintendo Switch's successor on March 2025 at the earliest, which likely can be used as a handheld similar with the Nintendo Switch, and uses a larger display, to prioritise streamlining initial sales, and giving game developers more time to develop popular titles. But to avoid shortages and scalping, Nintendo could delay the launch of the Nintendo Switch's successor, depending on the progress in establishing production capability and developing key games that affect initial sales. Nintendo plans to combine marketing with Nintendo's popular IPs (e.g. films based on Nintendo's characters) to expand sales of the Nintendo Switch's successor.

16 February 2024 →Bloomberg: According to people with knowledge in the matter, who asked not to be identified since the news hasn't been announced, that third party video game publishers are being advised by Nintendo about Nintendo's next-gen console will be delayed until 1Q 2025. And Nintendo told some third party publishers to not expect the new console until March 2025 at the earliest.

16 February 2024 →Twitter: Pedro Henrique Lutti Lippe, a journalist from Brazil, has heard from 5 different sources from 3 different continents that the Nintendo Switch's successor is launching in 2025.Eurogamermentioned about hearing similar whispers of an early 2025 launch from industry sources this week, with Eurogamer later corroborating with industry sources that the Nintendo Switch's successor's launch was moved into early 2025, but still within the upcoming coming financial year (ending on March 2025), to ensure as many titles are included in the launch line up as possible. And afterVideo Games Chroniclepublished an article reporting on Pedro Henrique Lutti Lippe's rumour and whispers from Eurogamer's industry sources, multiple sources said that Nintendo informed third party companies that the Nintendo Switch's successor's now launching in Q1 2025, with third party companies being recently briefed about the internal delay for the launch timing of the Nintendo Switch's successor from late 2024 to early 2025, with one third party publishing source speculating that Nintendo delayed the launch of the Nintendo Switch's successor to prepare a stronger first-party software line up for launch. AndNateDrakementioned that the launch delay to Q1 2025, which he heard this week, was very recently relayed to third party partners.

What maybe the tech specs:

• Nvidia's customer T239 SoC, based on Ampere
  • Will contain the NVN2 API that is capable of doing DLSS
  • The Ampere SoC will be optimized on 4 nm for better power efficiency and long lasting battery
  • May contain Ada Lovelace features such as DLSS 3.X or a customer base solution
  • TFlops measurements mean nothing compared, however, if you want to know, the TFLOPS for the handheld will reach up to 1 TFLOP and when docked, up to 2-3 TFLOPS. As stated, it means nothing until we see real world results
    
• RAM Configurations, since it maybe based on Ampere, we may see Nintendo utilize LPDDR5
  • Rumored amount of RAM is said to have more than an Xbox Series 2 up to 12 GB total of shared memory, with just 1 GB reserved for the OS (Since it will be the same OS as the Switch)
• Storage - Unknown of the amount of storage, but possible they'll use a better solution than the old eMMC tech in the Switch to get faster load time speeds, rumored to use UFS 3.1 tech
  • Storage size is unknown, maybe up to 128 GB of storage
  • Not yet confirmed but Nintendo will possibly continue using SD Cards and may adopt the SD Express tech to ensure games purchase from the eShop also take advantage of the faster load times.
• The Screen is upgraded to a 1080p display, however will only be LCD
  • Screen is about 8 inches
• Battery is hinted to go up to 4-5 hrs
• New Joy Cons are bigger than the original Switch
  • Instead of rails, they will be magnetic
  • May contain brand new magnetic control sticks
    • the control sticks may contain new force feed technology
    • The Control Sticks should resolve the stick drift issues from the Original.
• The new Docking Station is what maybe the most interesting factor than just outputting the device to a big screen TV
  • 4K is possible but limited at 30 FPS, depending on the game
    • Certain titles could support 4K at 60 FPS, but expect some titles to be upscale to hit the performance target.
  • VRR support will be added, no G-Sync or Freesync
  • New Docking station may allow emulation of DS, 3DS, and Wii U games with a new "C" button on the joycons that allow streaming a second screen from the Switch 2 hardware.
• It's already confirmed by Furukawa that Switch 2 will definitely be Backwards Compatible to original Switch games and purchases from the eShop
• Switch 2 OS will remain the same as the Switch, this maybe to ensure BC works including NSO features

Possible Software window for 2025, including some cross-gen titles and 3rd party support.

First Party titles:

• Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (Will probably be the Switch 2 flagship launch title, there will still be an Original Switch port just like Breath of the Wild)
• Xenoblade Chronicles X - To show case the features of the "C" button as if you're playing an upgraded Wii U version of it
• Legend of Zelda titles
  • Breath of the Wild Remastered? - Either an upgrade if you own the title on the OG Switch or a full remaster of the game in 4K and better performance
  • Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD? The last 2 Wii U titles that haven't been ported to the Switch, has been rumored to be done. Only source is a Korean site that has Wind Waker fully translated to Korean, may also come to the OG Switch.
  • Unnamed new Zelda game, maybe using the same engine as BotW, nothing is known
• New 3D Mario Platform - Nothing is known, but Odyssey did came out on the same year as the Switch, maybe a Holiday title or 2026?
• New Mario Kart game, practically the number 1 selling franchise in Nintendo's
• Unnamed Fire Emblem game? Possibly the last of the OG Switch titles, a remake of Genealogy of the Holy War or an all new title
• New 3D Kirby title, the sequel to Kirby and the Forgotten Land, but focus on Robots?
• New Smash title, Sakurai announced that he's closing his YouTube channel to work on a new project? Could also be an new Kid Icarus game as well
• Gen 10 Pokemon was already leaked from the Gamefreak hack, will probably be Switch 2 exclusive
  • Pokemon Legends Z-A will possibly be a Cross-Gen title, Gamefreak is well known of the criticism of their optimization of previous Pokemon titles, but Z-A should run a stable 30 FPS on Switch 2

3rd Party Games Speculation

Possible titles of big name AAA 3rd party games, apparently the new hardware will make it easier for big games to come to the Switch 2 at fraction of the price, especially when Nintendo did buy out Shiver Entertainment with the purpose of helping 3rd parties to port games over to the Switch 2.

1. Monster Hunter Wilds - It makes sense, especially in Japan where Monster Hunter is preferably played on Handhelds
2. Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth? Possibly farfetched due to how big the titles are above 100 GB, but the brand is not much of a systerm seller as it once was, maybe porting to the Switch 2 may help?
3. Dragon Quest 12 - This is a given, especially how well Dragon Quest 11 S sold on Switch.
4. Resident Evil games - The games were not able to run on the OG and Capcom only released Cloud base versions. RE2, 3, 4, 7, and 8 makes sense to make a native port
5. Silksong - We all know this is never gonna come out :P
6. Persona game, Person 3: Reloaded did not come to the OG Switch, but it's possible to come for Switch 2
7. EA Sports games.
   1. EA may feel confident to expand their sports titles than just the FC games now that Switch version of FC 25 seems to outsell the Xbox version
   2. I do not expect Madden to return to Nintendo platforms, but possible for College Game Day to make a debut for American Football fans.
8. Yooka-Replayee, they did list the game is multiplatform, but did not disclosed what Nintendo Platform, definitely coming to Switch 2.
9. Despite Ubisoft on the brink of a buyout, Mario + Rabbids port or a sequel may still come as well as possible port of Ass Creed Mirage (No port of Shadows).
10. Next Call of Duty Game? MS did have Nintendo sign a contract to get Call of Duty games to come to Nintendo Platforms, however, we have not seen any CoD game come to the OG Switch. Either a port of BlackOps 6 or CoD mobile or just Warzone could show up on the Switch 2. However, don't expect MS to keep their promise

You can never have too many Switch 2 threads - bring it on!

It’s always so agonizing waiting for Nintendo to officially unveil their new systems. So can’t wait for them to announce it already. Just give me a more powerful Switch with a bigger screen and is fully backwards compatible. I will be ecstatic.

I'm liking what I hear from these leaks, if they are real. Sounds like just a more powerful & refined Switch, which is exactly what I want.

I think Ninty will follow a similar timeline to the Switch, they'll have an announcement/presentation in January & release in March (or maybe April). Bring it on!

Sounds good, I hope some From games will be on there.

The T239 was looking like a strong contender...but then Nvidia released this:

https://nvdam.widen.net/s/zkfqjmtds2/jetson-orin-datasheet-nano-developer-kit-3575392-r2

The Orin nano Super. It has 1024 Cuda cored with an ampere architecture and 6-core Arm® Cortex-A78AE. Clock speeds are up to 1020Mhz for the GPU and 1.7Ghz for the CPU....but this assumes a power draw of 25W. The Switch 2 is unlikely to do that, even in docked mode. It also has 8GB of ram. It costs (retail) 250 bucks so just the chip itself would be quite a bit cheaper for Nintendo (though anyone hoping for a 250 quid Switch 2 will be disappointed I think).

I wonder would this be the bases for the Switch 2 rather than the T239? Was looking at DFs analysis and they mentioned that even the T239 would be a big chip for a handheld. But the Orin Nano Super is quite small. It also supports Nvme and SD cards.

It does tick a lot of boxes for Nintendo. Small, low cost, on an older and cheaper node, could fit in a handheld form factor and support power ranges from 7 to 25W. It would still be a pretty big upgrade over the Switch. Basically right in Steam Deck territory but with a better upscaler and better RT perf.

I also don't see 12GB of ram being a thing. 6-8GB. There may be 12GB of ram in the Dev Kit perhaps.

Nope, the T239 is custom made for Nintendo, and 6-8 GB is not enough to display games to 4K via docking, especially now that majority of games have become memory heavy, it will not suffice. it will be 12 GB in total, minus the OS and whatever feature that will be reserved, so 10 to 11 GB total for Developer use

I only want the Switch 2 to be docked, so any and all news regarding it being more capable while hooked up to my TV the better.

My whole family plays the Switch quite regularly, so the Switch 2 will probably be a day 1 either way.

I speculate that it will be shit just like the original Switch

Just a more power Switch.

Mainline 3D Mario launch window.

95% of games in the 1st 2 years will be cross-gen.

They will announce it at a like 8:30 am PST on a random Tuesday morning when I'm in the middle of teaching my 2nd period class and by the time I get out of school all the preorders will be taken up. It is what it is :)

@BassMan: Lol, ok then.

Saw that and I believe it, that's why I see Metroid Prime 4: Beyond as a cross-gen launch game.

Knowing Nintendo, the next system would be emulated as fast as the WiiU.

You seem pretty insecure of yourself, aren't you?

I will likely hold off on a Switch 2 for years.... but as a Switch owner since May 2017 I would actually love to see Nintendo release Metroid Prime 4 on both and then put everything else 1st party going forward on just Switch 2. Show those folks at Sony and Microsoft what it's actually like to have "generations" and reward the people who buy the new hardware.

I just tell it like it is.

@BassMan: Lets say hypothetically Metroid Prime 4 will be 30fps on Switch and 60fps on Switch 2. Will that make Switch 2 a solid system?

Nope. Switch hardware is absolute shit. For Switch 2 to only have twice the performance of the Switch would be an epic fail.

We already know Switch 2 can run UE 4 games like Dead Island 2, and 60fps games like COD.

What is even the matter? That it can't run UE 5 games? Not even PS5, Xbox Series or PC can run UE 5 games well.

@BassMan: more like a bruised ego you have to tell people that hardware that isn’t powerful like your PC is shit, to hide something of shame you have

You are trying to have a reasonable discussion with a brick, which is commendable. That special folk believes that handhelds should have a 4090.😂

LCD is kind of lame but I guess if I pick one up I’d have this docked to my OLED. I’d like to grab one since it’s been a while I dived into the Nintendo ecosystem

@R4gn4r0k: Hardware that is only capable of playing potato games is not good hardware. Also, there are plenty of games that are demanding that do not run on UE5.

I am not hiding anything. My hardware is actually shit right now and I fully admit it. I sold my 4090 for the price I paid for it at launch while I wait for the 50 series next month. In the meantime, I am using a trash tier 1060 that I pulled from a secondary PC. I am getting my bro's old 1080 Ti in a few days to help ease the pain, but that is nothing special these days either. I have my PS5, which I basically just use to play NHL online. So yeah, not much incentive to play games on shit hardware.

@BassMan: you’re more obsessed with overspending on “good” hardware for better looking games than actually enjoying playing games? I like to build a good PC, but not when the hardware would cost me an arm and a leg. Im fact, I already plan on getting the Ryzen 7 9800X3D and see what Nvidia and AMD plan to launch. I even enjoy playing my Legion Go with my eGPU docked. You be surprised how mobile hardware has become with new tech like DLSS, and Frame Generations has helped to get stable frames

@FireEmblem_Man: The good hardware is what allows me to play games without major compromises. I like to play maxed out with high frame rates. Playing on a 3440x1440/175hz monitor and a 4K/120hz TV is demanding and I fully use my hardware. I hate when technical issues ruin my enjoyment and immersion. I like to enjoy games without worrying about anything on the hardware side.

I am well aware of what is available in terms of tech for PC, consoles, and handhelds. I am not going to drop my standards of playing just because something is portable.

I am validated. 😂

"This hardware is not for me, so it is garbage"

So interesting to see where they go with the specs of the switch 2. Do they go the steamdeck route or decide to cut the cost of the system.

One man's trash is another man's treasure. LOL

@BassMan: You still being unable to understand technology and applications is always entertaining. 😂

@Pedro: I don't give a fuk about application. Quality is what matters.

In all honesty, I'd rather Nintendo target 1080p and a solid 60FPS with high quality settings for the Switch 2. Trying to target 4k is not realistic imo.

Will be a 1st party Mario game at launch one would imagine.

Fingers crossed on a new Mario Kart.

Also, If I can play COD, NCAA College Football, Marvel Rivals on the Switch 2, that's a huge deal. It's rumored the new system will have a 15W TDP, which isn't going to allow RTX 5080 visuals lol. That's not possible. But if we can play Nintendo's fantastic library and some of the bigger AAA multiplats on a battery for a few hours at a time, that's big

You couldn't have said it any more dumber. Thanks.😂

@Pedro: Compromising on quality for the sake of 'application' is dumb.

Normally, when someone say something dumb they don't double down on it. Apparently, you are the exception.🤷🏾‍♂️

Wow, Pedro vs Bassman, didn't expect this 🍿

He has nothing. Just a dumb troll.

Your standards are very shallow

@FireEmblem_Man: High standards = Shallow standards?

Lets see, you came into a thread about Switch 2 to share dumb opinions but I am the troll.😂

"Application of hardware doesn't matter".

More dumb than shallow but he is one your peeps so.🤷🏾‍♂️

@Pedro: I judge based on quality. Application doesn't mean shit to me if it doesn't deliver quality first and foremost. I am not willing to play a game at 30fps on my PC and I am not going to make an exception for a handheld. 30fps is shit regardless of how you are playing. So, if hardware is running games at 30fps and failing to hit 60fps or higher, that hardware is shit. It is that simple. There are also other compromises that you have to deal with. Just take a look at Crysis Remastered on Switch. Terrible.

It doesn't matter if it is portable, has power limitations, uses a mobile processor, etc... those are all excuses. At the end of the day, it can not get the job done. I am looking for quality, not excuses. This is pretty straightforward logic. If you don't agree, then you don't care about quality. That is fine, but don't try to come at me with this application bullshit.
