The next console from Nintendo is still officially unannounced, though developers have been prepping games to be ready for its launch for some time. Nintendo initially wanted to launch Switch 2 in late 2024, but has since shifted its internal plans - firstly without ruling out a Q1 2025 date. Now, however, developers have been told not to expect Switch 2 this current financial year, which ends on 31st March 2025. Speaking via the GI Microcast, boss of Eurogamer sister site GamesIndustry.biz Chris Dring said that "no developer I've spoken to expects it to launch in this financial year, in fact they've been told not to expect it in this financial year". Eurogamer can also corroborate this, with April 2025 the very earliest the console could now arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it is out of the realm of possibility that Nintendo would have an OLED sku in 2025. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it's not available on Day 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can do whatever the hell they want but they will absolutely not sell the OLED model in its first year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want your fomo console purchase, the PC edition, and then the PS6 and PS7 remasters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but I bet a good chunk of the people who bought an oled bought an LCD one instead of being first time buyers. So they can sell you the launch Super Switch for $400 and then sell you the Oled 2 years later for another $400 or whatever 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser_Soze Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 1 hour ago, Best said: EXACTLY 💯 Yeah, but that's what I was saying except I was talking about current gen. The LCD was first, they kept the LCD the same price instead of dropping the price and brought the OLED out and charged more for it and people double dipped. (Basically saying there is normally a price drop but these past few console generations they've managed to keep the price the same and instead sell a higher priced one) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
