Nintendo Switch 2 is already generating serious buzz! Gamers, get ready—Nintendo is reportedly gearing up to drop the long-awaited. Whether you’re a casual player or a die-hard Nintendo fan, this next-gen console is one to keep an eye on. Here’s everything we know so far, from leaks to likely release windows.
When Is the Nintendo Switch 2 Coming Out In Malaysia?
While Nintendo hasn’t confirmed an official date, insider reports suggest that the Nintendo Switch 2 will be released in July-September 2025 in Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines. This would align with the original Switch release timeline, giving fans a nostalgic nod. The buzz began when developers reportedly got access to development kits as early as late 2023.
Expected Price
Analysts predict the Nintendo Switch 2 could cost between USD $399 to $499, depending on the tech upgrades. It’s expected to be more powerful than the current Switch OLED model, which sits at $349.
Leaked Specs & Features
So, what can we expect under the hood? Here are some of the most talked-about features:
- 4K output when docked
- 1080p handheld display
- Improved battery life
- Upgraded NVIDIA custom chip
- Backward compatibility with Switch games
Rumours also hint at better Joy-Con drift resistance and possibly magnetic or slide-in controllers.
Games Rumoured to Launch With It
Fans are hoping for major first-party titles like:
- The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of the Past (rumoured)
- Mario Kart 9
- Metroid Prime 4
Third-party support is also expected to increase, with titles from Square Enix and Capcom reportedly in development.
Should You Wait or Buy the OLED Now?
If you’re a casual player or gifting for the holidays, the current OLED Switch is still a solid buy. But for power users or those planning a big 2025 gaming year, waiting for the Switch 2 might be worth it.
Stay tuned, because if these leaks are true, Nintendo Switch 2 might just become the console of the year.
