New information has emerged that hints that the Nintendo Switch successor, what we’ve all been calling the Nintendo Switch 2, could be arriving sooner than we thought.
An official announcement is still yet to appear, but it could be soon if this social media post is correct.
The next big Nintendo release will be the latest Zelda adventure where you control the princess herself

Over on Twitter, gibbogame posted a screenshot of the financial data from a company called Hosiden, who manufacture parts for the Nintendo Switch.
He points out that the company has invested ¥2 billion in new production equipment and increased automation.
That’s not all, this investment comes as part of their sector, “major customer in amusement (Nintendo)”
While we don’t want to put two and two together and get eight, this could be a sign that Nintendo has increased production on the new console to anticipate demand.
The Twitter post continues, “I still expect Sept news and March 2025 release for next device.”
This only adds to the rumours that we’ll see a Nintendo Direct before the end of the month with the Japanese company finally announcing its next console.
It feels like it has been a long time coming, with the life of the Nintendo Switch being stretched quite thing by this point.
The hardware has been available since 2017 and has only had minor refreshes with the OLED model and the Switch Lite, both of which were released some time ago.
If the console debuts in the spring of 2025, the units will need to enter production by now so the timeline matches the financials.
Nintendo, a notoriously secretive company, will certainly want to announce and showcase the system before potential leaked imagery from the factory appears online spoiling the surprise.
For now, we’ll just have to keep hoping for an announcement and cross our fingers that it also comes with a firm date and a price point.
