Earlier this year, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa revealed that the successor to Switch will be revealed within the fiscal year, which ends in March 2025. There hasn’t been any official news since then, and even the leaks dried up, but this week, writer Paul Gale claimed on X that the launch window for the Nintendo Switch 2 will feature significantly more third-party releases than we saw for the original Switch in 2017.
