Nintendo's announcement for the release date of the Nintendo Switch 2 has been seemingly confirmed by Walmart.

For nearly eight years, the Nintendo Switch has found a huge foothold in the gaming world, coming dangerously close to having sold 150 million lifetime units at the time of writing. But eight years is a long time for a video game console to be on the market. Naturally, there will be a new one, and we think we'll find out about it soon.

This is a very safe bet, as Nintendo has prior form here. You might recall that the Nintendo Switch was first revealed in a roughly three and a half minute trailer that showed it in use in various settings like a home, an airport, and even in the back of a car.

A well-known and generally reliable leaker reveals the alleged Nintendo Switch 2 announcement date, which happens to be really soon.

Japanese video game company Nintendo will launch the Switch 2 console, successor to its hit Switch device, this year, it said on Thursday.

Nintendo has been promising a follow-up to the company's incredibly popular Switch handheld for over a year, and it's coming at last: the Switch 2 has been revealed, and it's coming this year. But Nintendo's not telling us more till April 2.

The long wait is finally over. In a YouTube video with little fanfare, Nintendo officially introduced the long-awaited Switch 2. The first true next-gen follow-up to the original Switch includes backwards-compatibility for owners of existing Switch hardware and we'll learn more about the console in a Nintendo Direct presentation on April 2,

Nintendo Co. said it will reveal the next-generation Switch 2 on April 2, setting in motion the retirement of the nearly eight-year-old flagship model.
