Yet one more rumor has surfaced that claims to know the launch date of the Nintendo Change 2, and at this level, it’s getting a bit onerous to maintain observe of all of them.

Whereas earlier rumors initially suspected a doable launch date of Nintendo’s subsequent console this vacation season, that by no means got here to cross. It’s additionally been said on a number of events that Nintendo wouldn’t launch the brand new console till someday in 2025. It’s now very evident that that is precisely what’s going to occur. The most recent rumor comes from an Italian information publication that’s suggesting Nintendo’s subsequent console will launch concurrently some upcoming equipment.

If that sounds acquainted, that’s as a result of there has already been a minimum of one different rumor surrounding the console’s launch date based mostly on accent launch occasions. Earlier this month, Accent maker Satisfye by accident leaked a short shot of the Nintendo Change 2. The leak occurred as a result of Satisfye was teasing its upcoming Zen Grip 2 accent, which is slated to launch within the Spring of 2025. The rumor means that Nintendo plans to launch the brand new console across the similar time as these equipment.

The Change 2 launch rumor suggests Nintendo is pushing up the timetable

Whereas we will’t say this with absolute certainty, we’d recommend taking this rumor with a grain of salt. As most rumors anticipate the console to launch in late Spring. That being stated, Nintendo has said it will reveal the brand new console inside this fiscal 12 months, which ends on March 31, 2025. So there’s a likelihood that if the corporate reveals the console inside the subsequent couple of months, it may launch by the tip of March. That may imply Nintendo is pushing up the timetable. That isn’t unattainable, however in all probability unlikely.

Nintendo launched the unique Change a number of months after revealing it to the general public for the primary time. And it makes extra sense for it to do the identical factor this time round.

Nintendo has no extra massive first-party video games till after this fiscal 12 months

One other factor to think about is the video games. Nintendo launched the unique Change with an enormous first-party title. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Nintendo has confirmed already that there aren’t any extra massive first-party video games coming this fiscal 12 months.

It will additionally doubtless need to launch the console alongside an enormous first-party recreation. And because the fiscal 12 months ends on March 31, it’s affordable to imagine the launch of the Change 2 will occur after this date. That is all hypothesis, after all. But it surely does make sense, given Nintendo’s feedback.
