So we would hazard a guess and say a next-gen Switch would sit around that price point, especially if it does indeed make use of an OLED display. The majority of reports suggest that a launch in 2024 is being targeted, but sources with 'knowledge of Nintendo's next-gen console plans' (via VGC) suggest Nintendo is planning for a release date in the second half of next year.Īs for price, the Nintendo Switch OLED comes in at $349 / £309 / AU$539. We take that to be referring to the Nintendo Switch 2. The same publication then reported that sources from a CMOS sensor provider, which has Nintendo as a customer, noted that a new 'Japanese game console' is due to launch in early 2024. This means we should not expect the Switch 2 until sometime after March 2024.Ī release in the first quarter of 2024 was given some weight by a report from Chinese investment site MoneyDJ, which when outlining the production outlook at Hongzhun, a metal cases manufacturer and subsidiary of Hon Hai Technology Group, expects the company to benefit from the launch of the Switch 2, presumably by manufacturing parts of the console. While we had originally hoped Nintendo's latest hardware could arrive in 2023, during the company's annual financial report president Shuntaro Furukawa confirmed there are no plans to release any hardware during the next fiscal year.
