The reveal date for the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 may be closer than expected, with a recent leak suggesting that the console could be officially unveiled on Friday, January 17, 2025.
The leak originated from a now-deleted Reddit post by user Technical-Manager921 on the GamingLeaksAndRumors subreddit, which has fueled excitement among fans.
While the post has been removed, its timing and the nature of the leak lend credibility to the speculation, especially since the original Switch reveal also took place on a Friday.
Details from the Leak
Though the original post is no longer accessible, the comments underneath it have sparked significant discussion. Among the speculations, fans are debating the potential price of the Switch 2.
Some believe the MSRP will be around $399 CAD (roughly $279 USD), while others expect it to be closer to $399 USD ($579 CAD), which would be more typical for a next-gen console. The current Nintendo Switch model retails for $299 USD, and the OLED version is priced at $349 USD.
Regional Pricing and Expectations
Along with pricing discussions, fans are also speculating about regional pricing differences. However, no official details are available, and everything remains uncertain until Nintendo makes its official announcement.
Given that the original Switch launched nearly eight years ago, fans are eagerly awaiting the next iteration of the console, especially after its massive success.
If the leaks are accurate, Nintendo is poised to make a significant impact with the Switch 2’s reveal.
