In an unexpected turn of events, Nintendo has announced that the release date for its highly anticipated next console has been pushed back to 2025. This news comes after rumors had been swirling about a late 2024 launch for the successor to the popular Nintendo Switch.
Multiple sources, including journalist Pedro Henrique Lutti Libbe and Eurogamer, have confirmed the delay. Additionally, VGC has reported that Nintendo has informed publishers of a Q1 2025 launch for the new console. The delay is said to be due to a lack of strong first-party titles ready for the originally planned late 2024 release.
The successor to the Nintendo Switch, which is still unnamed, has been a hot topic in the industry for years. Fans have been eagerly awaiting any news or updates on what to expect from the new console. While many fans are disappointed by the longer wait for the new console, some have suggested that Nintendo may be following the early year release schedule that was successful for the Switch.
In the meantime, Nintendo is focusing on giving the Switch a respectable end for 2024. Upcoming games like Princess Peach: Showtime! are still set to be released on March 22, keeping fans engaged and excited for what’s to come.
