Game publisher and accessories manufacturer Nacon expects the Nintendo Switch 2 to launch in the first half of the 2025-2026 fiscal year, meaning it should come sometime between April and September, 2025.

Last week, Nintendo gave us our first official look at Switch 2 and threw in a '2025' release window for good measure. While the House of Mario is yet to be more specific with its release date, publisher and accessory manufacturer Nacon has shared some narrower expectations (thanks, VGC ).

French video game and accessories maker Nacon is the first third-party publisher to say when it expects the Nintendo Switch 2 to come out — and it's promised loads of games for the next-gen console, too.

Accessory manufacturer and game publisher Nacon has predicted that the Switch 2 release will happen somewhere between April and September.

Nintendo hasn’t said when the Switch 2 release date is, beyond a vague 2025 window. However, Nacon has said it expects the console to arrive in the first half of its 2025/2026 fiscal year.

While other third-party accessory makers teased the Nintendo Switch 2 before the official announcement, Nacon is the first to go on the record with a release window. Other companies like Genki — which got in trouble for its CES stunt — have listed Switch 2 accessories are coming on their websites.

Major gaming hardware manufacturer and publisher Nacon has predicted that the Nintendo Switch 2 could launch as early as April. In its most recent quarterly report, Nacon stated that it was expecting a successful first half of the 2025/26 fiscal year, which runs from April to September 2025, thanks to "several positive factors."

The Switch 2 might not be a radical reinvention of what came before, but Nintendo’s new hardware does sport some unique quirks, distinguishing it from the original handheld hybrid that arrived back in 2017.

Nintendo has dropped a first-look trailer for the Switch 2, and some gamers are wondering if its design is too similar to the original.

The original Switch came out in March of 2017 with a $299 price tag. Leaks and rumors suggest the Switch 2 could release in June of 2025. The price will likely fall somewhere between $399 and $499 USD.
