Without a doubt, the Nintendo Switch 2 is among the most eagerly awaited devices in the virtual entertainment world. It's in the same league as the PS5 Pro. Both devices share a couple of similar elements.

Nintendo Switch 2 and game developers

The connection between these devices is that we currently have to depend on unconfirmed reports and second-hand intel. It becomes intriguing, especially with the Nintendo Switch 2, given a GDC survey about the status of the gaming industry in 2024. More than 3000 creators from indie and AAA sectors shared their perspectives about their work and the platforms they're using for their projects.

Approximately 250 reported working on games for the Nintendo Switch 2. This suggests that an increasing number of creators are actively working on the successor to the Nintendo Switch. One might also speculate if these numbers are lower than the actual reality. Some developers might prefer to keep their projects covert and limit their exposure, especially if the new device hasn't been officially announced.

Nintendo Switch 2 release date

The internet is rife with conflicting rumors and ambiguous hints about the release date of the Nintendo Switch 2. One rumor suggests the device might be released in September 2024. This is particularly newsworthy.

The significance lies in the alleged presentation of the PlayStation 5 Pro by the "Blues," which is also expected to occur in September 2024. However, it's always wise to approach such claims with caution and reasonable skepticism.
