Nintendo Switch 2 tipster claims to know release date, pricing and launch games

Nintendo Switch OLED held between two hands with one of the JoyCons being slid off.

All signs point to Nintendo announcing the Nintendo Switch 2 before the end of January, but that doesn't mean the rumor mill is stopping anytime soon. Another Switch 2 leak has surfaced from a tipster with a track record for Nintendo intel, potentially revealing the console's release date, price and launch titles.

Nintendo is set to reveal the Switch 2 on January 17 with a launch scheduled for March 3, according to the noted leaker Average Lucia Fanatic, an anonymous tipster who accurately leaked the PS5 Pro and Nintendo Alarmo last year (h/t Vice). If that March 3 date sounds familiar, that's because it's the same day the original Switch launched back in 2017. They also claimed the Nintendo Switch 2's price will be $400 CAD. That works out to about $280 USD, which would likely translate into a $300 price tag in the States, putting it on par with the Switch OLED and the Switch's launch price.
