There is currently a great deal of anticipation in the gaming world as we await the arrival of the next generation of consoles from Nintendo. According to the latest rumors and insider info, this new console might make its grand debut in the early months of 2025. Initially, there had been talks of a scheduled launch for autumn 2024, just in time for the holiday season. This period is traditionally seen as favorable for the release of new tech products due to the increased consumer purchasing. However, it seems like there has been a change in plans. Several insiders have indicated that Nintendo has communicated to video game producers, suggesting they shift the release date to the first quarter of 2025. This information has been confirmed by at least two independent sources who are currently working on games that are intended for the successor to the Switch. They have also confirmed that they are planning to launch these games at the beginning of next year.
While this shift in release date may initially seem like a setback, it could actually present a valuable opportunity for developers. With more time to work on their launch titles, developers can ensure they are fully complete and polished before the console’s release. Among these titles, there is speculation that Metroid Prime 4 could be included. This game was initially announced back in 2017 but its development was further postponed in 2019. Since then, there has been no further information released, which has fuelled speculation that Nintendo may be reserving it for the debut of their new console. This upcoming console follows the immense success of its predecessor, the Switch, which became the best-selling hardware in Nintendo’s history. It even surpassed its competitors, Sony and Microsoft, in terms of sales. The gaming community eagerly awaits to see what Nintendo has in store for us with this new console.
