The Nintendo Switch 2 is coming very soon
The leak appeared like a bolt from the blue on the internet. The Nintendo Switch 2, the most anticipated console in the world of video games, now comes with a release date. This was revealed by the Italian media UAGNAwhich draws its information from a reliable source, without us really knowing the identity of this source in question.
According to UAGNAthe Nintendo Switch 2 should be marketed in a few months, on Friday March 28, 2025. A date which coincides with that of the first Switch of the name, which was released on March 3, 2017.
According to rumors, Nintendo could take advantage of CES 2025 from Las Vegasevent which takes place from January 5 to 9, to officially present its next console. If this hypothesis is true, there are only a few days left before we know everything about the Switch 2.
A motherboard that promises higher performance
In addition to the release date, the Nintendo Switch 2 motherboard is also in the spotlight. This was shared in images on social networks.
Unlike the 2017 console, which had an NVIDIA Tegra X1, the Nintendo Switch of 2025 should integrate an NVIDIA Tegra 239 from the Orin family. This change induces a clear improvement in terms of performance, the first motherboard having 12 Cortex-A78AE cores, the second 2048 CUDA cores.
Rumors estimate that the Switch 2 will be able to run games in 4K and 30 FPS (Image Per Second). It could also include ray tracing, which perfectly transcribes the effects of light, shadow and reflections. Despite these major developments, the console should not surpass the PlayStation 5 or the Xbox Series S/X in terms of power.
The Nintendo Switch 2 promises to be a great commercial success, in part thanks to its backward compatibility with the first console, which was officially announced by the Japanese firm.
All these leaks, which have dotted the networks for several days or even hours, should be confirmed in the days to come. CES 2025 Los Angeles could well lift the veil on all the mysteries surrounding the next Nintendo console.
