"June sounds a lot more realistic" for the Nintendo Switch 2 release date, analyst says, as hands-on event dates suggest the console is skipping spring

Folks, it's real. After months of rumors, leaks, and fans begging for news, Nintendo has finally shown us what the Switch 2 looks like, and speculation has already begun on when we can expect it to release.

We now know that the console is definitely releasing this year, but when? Nintendo is still keeping that part a secret – perhaps it'll finally give it away when the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct on April 2 takes place. For now, though, focus has turned to the list of hands-on event dates Nintendo revealed. Around the world, some lucky fans will have the chance to try the Switch 2 out in the coming months thanks to the Nintendo Switch 2 Experience, and some speculate that we can narrow down its actual release date based on how long those events are running for.
