According to industry analysts, the Nintendo Switch 2 is coming in 2024 with a price point of US$400 (roughly RM1,855) but that’s what they say every year. Until we get confirmation from Nintendo, take all this with a grain of salt.

Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz for 2024, Dr. Serkan Toto, a Kantan Games analyst noted for being a Nintendo expert, said:

“The time is finally here for a Switch successor, even though I can say a ‘Pro’ model actually did exist and certain developers were already working with the dev kit. I believe the next hardware will drop next year for $400. There is a high chance that games will cost more, too: $70. The next system is also likely to be an iteration rather than a revolution.

Nintendo might add some bells and whistles to the device, but it will be similar to the current Switch. And because there is Pokémon, and Pokémon is associated with handheld gaming, there is no way on earth Nintendo will drop the portability feature for their next big thing.”

Ampere Analysis analyst Piers Harding-Rolls added that he expects the console market to be up “marginally” due to “the launch of a next-gen Nintendo console, more than likely a Switch 2, towards the end of the year”.

Again, until Nintendo says otherwise, the Nintendo Switch 2 has yet to be confirmed.
