It's been a long time coming for a new Nintendo console, as the current Nintendo Switch has been out and about for a total of seven years. Seven years is quite a long time for a piece of hardware not to get a successor, and it seemed only inevitable that the Nintendo Switch 2 - or whatever it will end up being officially called - would rear its head at some point. This started with a series of leaks and rumors, though, and there is no official statement about the Switch 2's existence just yet, but it does have a rumored release month or time window, and if that is correct, it also rules out a big franchise as a candidate for launch games.
