Nintendo Switch 2 reveal: why we could see the new console this month

Nintendo's Switch successor could finally be revealed during September

Nintendo won’t want people to stop buying its latest games, especially as it’s due to release key titles like Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, and Mario & Luigi: Brothership. Nintendo will want to make sure that gamers spend their money on its console over Sony’s, and if it delays annoucing the Switch 2 until after the PS5 Pro launches, it could miss out.
