New leaks about the Nintendo Switch 2: Price, dual screen and AI features revealed. All the details about the technology and the surprising release.

Taipei, Taiwan – According to a new report from the Taiwan Economic Daily News on September 16, 2024, the successor console to the Nintendo Switch will be announced before the end of this year. Nintendo will also declare war on Sony’s PS5 Pro. What’s particularly explosive is that the new information confirms many of the previous leaks. These include the estimated price and an innovative dual-screen design that reminds players of an old Nintendo console. So what do we know about the Switch 2?

Switch 2 with AI, two screens and new release – How credible is the hammer leak?

  • The latest leak confirms that the Switch 2 will launch with a base price of $400
  • Compared to the new PS5 Pro, which is significantly more expensive at 700 US dollars (800 euros), Nintendo remains more attractive in terms of price. But the Switch 2 would be 30% more expensive than the first Switch at 300 euros.
  • According to insider information, the Switch 2 will offer a dual-screen design and extended battery life, combined with improved graphics performance and “AI features.”

Biggest surprise, the release: The source reveals that the Switch 2 will be launched in 2024. This means that Nintendo will compete with the PS5 Pro in the Christmas season. And with the cheaper price, console purchases will dominate under the Christmas tree. The new release date contradicts older information that stated 2025 as the release year.

How trustworthy is the leak?

The Taiwan Economic Daily is a reputable business newspaper in Taiwan, known for its coverage of financial markets, business and technology. Its coverage of companies in Asia, particularly electronics manufacturers and technology firms, is often considered trustworthy due to closer ties to supply chains and manufacturing facilities in the region. Electronic components of consoles such as the Switch 2 are produced in Taiwan.

But the Switch’s early release date is causing some concern. As always, with leaks, skepticism is advisable until there is official confirmation.

Switch 2 revives dead Nintendo 3DS with artificial intelligence? What do players say?

3DS with AI? The idea of ​​a dual-screen design reminds many of the Nintendo DS, some fans are nostalgic, while others are skeptical about the return of such a feature. Whether these “AI functions” use Nvidia’s DLSS technology to make games run more smoothly and in higher resolution remains to be seen. Here’s more about the technology of the Switch 2.

Community about new leaks: Some fans are celebrating the return of the dual screen and are already dreaming of the possibilities this feature offers.

  • User AceBr3ak aptly commented: “Welcome back, Nintendo DS“, received over 400 upvotes.
  • “Nintendo Dual Switch” could be the console name, says CountBleckwantedlove
  • GoldenTriforceLink, are impatient and write: “Nintendo, I beg you, announce the damn thing!
  • Many users are also celebrating the relatively low price of 400 US dollars (especially compared to Sony). Others hope that the price will not increase any further in the future and that Nintendo will continue to focus on older consoles. After all, the Switch 2 is supposed to come in two versions – nothing has been leaked about the price of the “better” version.

Nintendo continues to weaken: As usual, Nintendo did not comment on the leaks or on the Switch 2 in general. Month after month, there is only news about the old Switch. A new bundle is even coming out tomorrow, September 17, 2024. Since the Gamescom drought, fans have been thirsting for official information to quench their burning Switch 2 thirst.
