Looks like there have been some updates these past few weeks about Nintendo’s upcoming console. The much-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 appears to have leaked from a reliable source.
Check out Nintendo’s official confirmations about Switch 2
Nintendo Switch 2, or as the community calls it, is Nintendo’s next-gen console. A successor to the popular Nintendo Switch, released on 3rd March 2017. It retains the original’s features but with improved graphical power.
This positions the new Switch 2 closer to next-gen consoles like PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, with significant graphic and performance upgrades—addressing the challenging area for game development on the current Switch.
