The Nintendo Switch 2 console has entered full production, and the unofficial name that has been used so far for the system may be the official one, according to rumors circulating online.
As reported on the Gaming Leaks and Rumors subreddit, a Famiboard user called fwd-bwd shared new information discovered on a Chinese forum from a supposed line worker regarding the console. This Chinese user revealed that the system has begun production, with a quota of 1000 units a day per worker. The system is slightly larger than its predecessor, has a smaller bezel, and will come with black and white Joy-Con controllers. Additionally, the system shows a number 2 logo on the side, suggesting that Nintendo Switch 2 will indeed be the official name of the system.
More information on the new Nintendo console may also have come from a new report by the Taiwan Economic Daily. The report reveals that the new system will be larger than its predecessor, featuring better battery life, some AI features, likely NVIDIA DLSS support, and a dual-screen design. The console's price is estimated to be $400, which is an increase over the launch price of the original Switch but still a reasonable increase compared to the PlayStation 5 Pro price. As for the console's reveal, it is reported that it has been moved in response to the PS5 Pro announcement, but it will still come within the end of the calendar year.
As the Nintendo Switch 2 is supposedly releasing sometime next year, it likely won't take much longer to finally know which of these many rumors on the system was correct. We will keep you updated on the new console as soon as possible, so stay tuned for all the latest news.
