Major gaming hardware manufacturer and publisher Nacon has predicted that the Nintendo Switch 2 could launch as early as April.
In its most recent quarterly report, Nacon stated that it was expecting a successful first half of the 2025/26 fiscal year, which runs from April to September 2025, thanks to “several positive factors.”
This not only includes the launch of several delayed hardware products in addition to a release schedule pack with ten new games, but also the anticipated arrival of the Nintendo Switch 2.
The company states that it “already has compatible games and a full range of accessories”, presumably referring to the confirmed software backwards compatibility of the Nintendo Switch 2.
The upcoming system was revealed by Nintendo on January 16 in a short first-look trailer. This will be followed by a Nintendo Switch 2 focused Nintendo Direct on April 2, where we will presumably learn more about the console’s hardware features and slate of software.
We know that Nintendo is targeting a 2025 release, but the company has not provided a concrete timeline yet. We’ll have to wait and see whether Nacon’s prediction holds water.
