Nintendo Switch 2 Leaks Updates


We're covering this breaking story as it unfolds, catch up with that you've missed here!


Nintendo fans, the wait might finally be over—at least for some solid hints about what’s coming next. Although Nintendo has remained tight-lipped about its plans for a next-generation console, the internet is buzzing with new leaks and rumors about the so-called Nintendo Switch 2. Here’s everything we know (or think we know) so far.



The New Leaks


Nintendo Next-Gen Hardware


The latest leaks suggest that the Nintendo Switch 2 will come equipped with upgraded hardware that promises to deliver better graphics and performance. Insiders speculate that the new console may feature NVIDIA’s DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) technology, allowing for improved resolution and smoother gameplay without compromising speed. Other rumored features include an OLED screen and potential support for ray tracing, enhancing lighting and visual effects in games.

Potential Price Point


And while Nintendo has not officially announced the pricing for its next-generation console, several leaks and industry reports have speculated on potential price points. Leaker Samus Hunter suggests that the console could be priced between $399 and $499, depending on the region and applicable taxes. This range aligns with industry expectations for a more powerful device.


Historically Credible Sources


Several industry insiders and gaming journalists with proven track records for accurate predictions are behind these leaks. Notably, details have surfaced on prominent gaming forums and from analysts who correctly predicted the release of the Nintendo Switch OLED model. One of the earliest to discuss these new rumors was the Nate the Hate podcast, featuring co-host MVG, who claims the Switch 2 will be revealed this week on January 16th. You can watch the video with this information and more, here. Additional sources, including Tom Warren, have corroborated this report


While these sources appear credible, it’s wise to approach the information with caution until Nintendo provides official confirmation.


What It Could Mean for Nintendo


If the rumors are true, the Nintendo Switch 2 could solidify Nintendo’s position as a leader in the gaming market. Enhanced hardware and features could attract new gamers while retaining existing fans. This might also open up opportunities for more third-party developers to bring their games to the platform, expanding its library and appeal.

Compared to Sony’s PS5 and Microsoft’s Xbox Series X, the Switch 2’s rumored specs indicate it could close the performance gap while maintaining its unique hybrid design. This combination of portability and power could give Nintendo a distinct edge, especially among casual and family gamers.


The Need for Patience


As exciting as these leaks are, it’s crucial to remember that Nintendo has not verified any details about the Switch 2. The company’s track record suggests that official announcements will only come through their Nintendo Direct presentations or press releases.


Fans eager for updates should keep an eye on Nintendo’s official channels, such as their website and social media accounts. These platforms will provide the most accurate and timely information about any upcoming announcements.
