Exciting news for gamers! After months of speculation, an Italian report has confirmed the release date for the Nintendo Switch 2 for March 28, 2025. While Nintendo is yet to officially announce the date, previous rumours, and leaks do not align with this date so we’d suggest you to take this date with a hint of doubt.
The new Nintendo Switch 2 is set to build on the foundation laid by the original Switch, continuing its hybrid design that allows users to play both handheld and docked gaming on their TVs. The console is expected to maintain total backward compatibility with the original Switch, meaning current Switch owners will be able to play their existing game library on the new system without any issues.
In terms of hardware, the Switch 2 is likely to feature some key improvements, such as enhanced JoyCon features and a dock station that supports up to 4K resolution.

Launch titles are still under wraps, but some rumours have surfaced. One of the most highly anticipated games is Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, which is expected to be a launch title for the Switch 2. Additionally, a new Legend Pokémon game could also make its debut around the same time. Another highly rumoured release is a new Mario Kart title, which may be one of the most expensive games in Nintendo’s history.
The release date of March 28, 2025, aligns with Nintendo’s previous strategies, as the company has historically launched major consoles close to the end of its fiscal year. This timing would allow Nintendo to kick off the next fiscal year with strong sales momentum and a solid lineup of games.
While the official announcement from Nintendo is still awaited, all signs point toward a reveal event happening soon, possibly in the coming weeks.
