A great deal of speculation on the supposedly upcomingNintendo Switch 2has already taken place. Many Nintendo fans are excited and hoping that an official announcement will happen soon, but a new leak from one of Japan’s most respected economics publications might indicate that there might still be a while to wait.
Switch 2 launch pushed back to beat resellers
The Nikkeiis one of the largest financial news publications in the world and has a history of providing reliable leaks from industry insiders. The report does indicate that Nintendo is pushing back the release not only to give developers more time with the hardware in order to create top-tier games ready for launch but also for another reason.
If the leak is accurate, Nintendo fans will have a reason to rejoice despite the delay, as one of the reasons reported for the alleged delay is that measures are being taken in order to preventresellersfrom grabbing up all the available stock and selling it for inflated prices. This will be a relief to many console gamers, who will recall the headaches of trying to buy a Switch at launch.
In addition, the report indicates that the Switch 2 will have a larger screen than the current Switch at 6.2 inches, and it will be able to handle games with higher definition image quality.
