Nintendo Fans Brace Yourself as Rumors Strongly Suggest the Next Switch Console Could Show Up Soon

Apr 18, 2023 | 12:50 PM EDT

Released in 2017, Nintendo Switch has now become a console of the past, or so it is said. Many fans are eagerly hoping for the successor of the Nintendo console to come soon. But currently, the Nintendo team has put their complete focus on the release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

There are rumors that suggested the Japanese company would start working on the Nintendo Switch 2 in May after the launch of the Zelda title. But the latest ones have suggested we will be getting the official announcement of the next Nintendo console a lot sooner!

YouTuber leaks the potential new Nintendo console presentation dates

YouTuber Mike Odyssey has given clues to fans about the new console in his new video. He stated he got information from several sources about a big presentation being held for Switch 2 in June and September.

He further said the June Direct will be the official announcement of the next-gen console. The September Nintendo Live that will be held in Seattle will have an even bigger presentation. Fans would be getting a chance to try this console for the first time in the September Live.

Although, his information should be taken with a pinch of salt. One of the individuals who told him about the presentation had also mentioned about a potential Zelda Direct that would have taken place on April 12. This proved to be somewhat wrong since Nintendo gave fans a trailer for the game the next day.

Mike Odyssey’s claims got some more footing when another leaker backed up his claims.

Potential games for Nintendo’s next-gen console

In his YouTube video, Odyssey claimed a new Mario title coming with Switch 2. He said that along with trying out the new console in September Live, fans would also be able to play a new Mario game being developed for the console. A Marvel leaker has just backed Odyssey’s claims.

Marvel leaker @Cult_of_Ember has recently tweeted saying the new Nintendo Switch will be coming this year. If his claims are true, there may be a new Marvel game also being developed for the new console. Or there may be plans to port an existing game to the new console.

The new Nintendo console is being revealed this year. That is all. *logs off*
