Nintendo's worst-kept secret is the Switch 2. Everyone knows the company is working on a follow-up to the wildly successful hybrid game console, but it hasn't made it official yet. A new leak suggests the console won't be released until Summer 2025, which could explain Nintendo's reluctance to announce it.

Nintendo Switch 2 launch rumors

Assuming that is true, this rumor is believable, but without more specifics, we must take this with a massive grain of salt.

However, that timeline does make a bit of sense. With Nintendo not announcing the console yet, we'd expect the company to want a few months between the news drop and the release, so summer 2025 seems logical.

Nintendo Switch 2 price

In the same report, Nintenduo speculated that the price would be between €400 and €500. It didn't back this claim up with a source, though, so we have to treat it as speculation at this point.

If accurate, though, the Switch 2 could cost between $419 and $524 in the U.S. With rumors that this will be Nintendo's most expensive console to date, those prices don't seem too far off what we expect.

Nintendo Switch 2 accessory leak

If the other rumors needed a grain of salt, this one needs the entire Morton Salt factory. VideoGamesChronicle spotted a bunch of accessories from Chinese companies that are reportedly designed for the yet-announced Switch 2 on Alibaba.

If these accessories are legitimate, they could give us a clue about the size of the Switch 2. For example, the case is 1.9 x 5.9in x 11.6in, which gives us a clue regarding how big the Switch 2 might be.
