Switch 2 leak shows reveal date of Nintendo console

A mysterious leak on X claims to know the exact date of the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal. But how credible is this information?

Berlin – Rumors about the Nintendo Switch 2 have been circulating for months. A recent leak showed a possible design and technical data for the new console. According to the report, the Switch 2 will have a similar look to its predecessor, but with a larger display and improved specifications. A mini-LED display and support for DLSS for better graphics performance are expected, among other things.

The console is said to be equipped with an eight-inch screen and use a new Nvidia Tegra T239 chip. The memory configuration is also said to have been significantly improved with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage. These technical upgrades could actually give the Switch 2 a significant performance boost.

A new leak and the rumor mill about the Switch 2 is bubbling:

A new leak is now causing excitement in the gaming community on Reddit: The user @mushbert_x on the platform X posted a screenshot showing the October 10, 2024 as the date for the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal trailer. The post quickly gained popularity, but was deleted shortly after. This sudden deletion has only further fueled speculation about the authenticity of the leak.

While some fans are skeptical and point out that such leaks are often false, there are also many who hope that this is real information. @mushbert_x later posted more cryptic messages such as “Ninjas strike fast” and “Ninjas don’t like links…Enjoy the ride” , all but the last of which were also deleted. These enigmatic messages have further fueled speculation about the Nintendo Switch 2.

Real or fake? The community is divided

The reactions to the Switch leak are mixed: Even though some leaks on Reddit have turned out to be true, there is a lot of skepticism about leaks, as the majority have been wrong in the past. Especially in the case of Nintendo, which is known for its secrecy policy, official confirmations are crucial. So far, Nintendo has not confirmed any details about the Switch 2, which is further fueling the discussions.

“Looks real, but YouTube is easy to fake (…) Also, many have activated many notifications for Nintendo’s channel, if this were real, there would be more reports,” says Redditor arielzao150

Despite the many rumors, the exact release date of the Nintendo Switch 2 remains uncertain. Some industry experts expect an announcement later this month, while others speculate a release by March 2025 at the latest. This uncertainty adds to the excitement surrounding the new console. Fans should therefore take all information with a grain of salt and look forward to official announcements. Until then, all that remains is to wait and see whether the leaks prove to be true or not.
