Rumors of a Nintendo Switch 2 (or Switch Pro) have been circulating for years. Whispers of the next-gen Nintendo console first started when The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was initially teased in 2019,

According to Eurogamer, Nintendo demoed the Switch 2 at Gamescon in August 2023. In his report, Eurogamer editor Tom Phillips said, while reports have pinned a Switch 2 release to the latter half of 2024, “I understand Nintendo is keen to launch the system sooner if possible”.

Attach the Joy-Con controllers to the console by sliding them onto either side of the screen. You'll hear a click sound when they are in place. Turn on the device by holding the power button at the top of the screen. Follow the on-screen directions which pop up and configure your device as you wish.

That's how most Nintendo fans feel about the Switch 2. Rumoured for years and yet to materialise, the Switch sequel just keeps getting further away. And leaked specs just keep making the wait harder.
