Nintendo Switch 2: Insider gives details about the release date and price

• According to an insider, the console will be released on September 24, 2024.
• There should be two models.
• Prices could be $400 and $449.

It is now quite foreseeable that Nintendo will introduce a new console in the next few months, which will initially be predominantly called “Nintendo Switch 2” online. The current Switch has been on the market since 2017 and anyone who knows the release rhythms of game consoles knows that it should be back soon. There are also more and more rumors and hints about a new device from Nintendo.

The insider “SoldierDelta” is now revealing important data about the new console in the online community app Discord, as the English-language technology magazine Wccftech reports.

Release date and prices of the models

The Switch 2 with the project name “NG” should therefore be on September 24, 2024 will appear in the form of two models: a standard model for $449 (about 424 euros) and a digital software-only model priced at $400 (approximately 378 euros).

According to Wccftech, “SoldierData” is said to have access to confidential data, especially since he published information and screenshots of Team Ninja’s game “Rise of the Ronin”. However, none of this has been officially confirmed; Nintendo has not yet announced a new console. So definitely still consider this a rumor.

Significantly more performance expected

You can expect the Switch 2 to be significantly more powerful than the current console. The well-known insider and leaker Tom Henderson writes: “I’m excited about the Nintendo Switch 2 and its technology.” In terms of performance, the console should be at least on a par with the PS4 and Xbox One.

But if you want to continue playing with your Switch, then Nintendo has good news for you.
