Back in May, Nintendo spilled the beans on its Switch 2 launch plans, saying a "successor" to its wildly popular handheld game console would arrive "within this fiscal year." Nintendo's fiscal year runs through March 2025, so any time before or by then is fair game, right? Maybe not. Game developers are seemingly...

The Nintendo Switch has been an extraordinarily popular gaming console that has stood the test of time. First released in 2017, it has gone mostly unchanged save for the OLED model upgrades in 2021 (and the release of a Lite model).

Another report has surfaced claiming that Nintendo's next-generation Switch console will not launch this year after all, and instead will make its anticipated debut in 2025.
