The Nintendo Switch 2 event might happen at some point in mid-January, as Nintendo might be trying to get ahead of leaks.

Nintendo announced it would share details of the successor to the Switch by the end of the fiscal year, in other words before the end of March 2025. Speculation and rumours have been in overdrive since then with a handful of official announcements scattered in between them all.

Plenty of rumors about Nintendo's upcoming Switch 2 have been circulating, but claims about its hardware are the most significant.

The Nintendo Switch 2 could be far more powerful than most expect. A developer claimed that the console’s hardware is ‘very capable’ and that many will be “pleasantly surprised.” The Switch 2 has long been the talk of the gaming industry.
