Nintendo Switch 2 Event Planned for May, Hinting at June Release
Rumors are swirling around a Nintendo Switch 2 event scheduled for May, suggesting that the highly anticipated console could see its release as early as June. This speculation comes from industry insider NateDrake, who shared insights during a recent podcast episode.
According to NateDrake, there has been significant industry chatter since late September and early October, indicating that the release window for the Nintendo Switch 2 is being considered between late May and June. While he could not definitively confirm the exact release date, the planning of a dedicated event in May points towards a June launch.
The nature of this event remains unclear, but it may resemble the January 2017 event where Nintendo showcased the original Switch, allowing media representatives to experience the console firsthand. If Nintendo follows a similar timeline, this could create an excellent opportunity to generate excitement during major summer events like the Summer Game Fest and PAX East.
In addition to the event, preparations for the Nintendo Switch 2 launch are evident, with new images and listings for Joy-Con controllers and accessories surfacing online. This suggests that Nintendo is gearing up for a significant reveal, and fans are eager to see what the company has been developing for quite some time.
