After a few relatively quiet months, the Nintendo Switch 2 leaks and rumors are now arriving on a daily basis. It\u2019s rare that we go 24 hours without something to talk about, and the latest report to end this week is one of the most exciting to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Friday, the Spanish video game site Vandal shared the latest episode of its weekly podcast. This particular episode is making waves online because it includes an illuminating conversation with Ruben Mercado, CEO of video game accessory and peripheral manufacturer Blade. While we can\u2019t yet verify any of the information he provided, Mercado was more than happy to share what he knows (or claims to know) about Nintendo\u2019s next console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The interview was conducted in Spanish, but Vandal has helpfully rounded up all of the biggest revelations in a blog post, which we\u2019ve translated with Google. Here\u2019s everything that Mercado revealed about the Nintendo Switch 2 during the podcast episode:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nintendo has finished designing the Switch 2, and he claims that accessory makers have already had access to a near-final console.
Nintendo will likely launch the Switch 2 in either March or April 2025.
The new Joy-Con controllers are magnetic, as a number of leaks have suggested, and also have a \u201clocking system\u201d to keep them firmly attached to the Switch 2.
Due to the new design of the controllers, the joysticks won\u2019t be compatible with any joystick covers, which Mercado says we\u2019ll understand when we see the presentation.
Nintendo wants a simultaneous worldwide launch for the Switch 2.
The Switch 2 will cost between \u20ac400 and \u20ac500, which is in line with another recent leak.
As with every Switch 2 leak, we\u2019re taking all of this with a grain of salt. That said, the herding that we\u2019ve seen around specific talking points (price, release date, magnetic Joy-Cons) suggests that either everyone is repeating the same rumors they\u2019ve seen online, or those rumors are accurate, and the details are being shared beyond Nintendo\u2019s circle of trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All we can be sure of today is that Nintendo plans to announce the Switch\u2019s successor by March 31, 2025, but at this rate, we\u2019d be shocked if a presentation didn\u2019t come sooner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
