Rumor: Developers told Switch 2 not coming until April 2025 at the earliest
Posted on 4 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch 2 | 0 comments
August 13: One of the big questions surrounding Nintendo’s next console – which many have dubbed Switch 2 – is when it’ll be launching. Nintendo has said very little, only confirming that an announcement will be made by the end of the fiscal year. That means we’ll be hearing about the console by the end of March 2025 at the latest.
Chris Dring, who leads things over at GamesIndustry, may have some insight. Dring shared what he’s heard after speaking with multiple developers, who all believe it won’t be out this fiscal year. He went on to say that these teams were actually informed not to count on it arriving during the current fiscal year – meaning not before April 2025. Some developers hope it could be ready by April or May, but that’s obviously far from confirmed.

Rumor: Nintendo working on project with codename “U-King-O”, possible new version of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Posted on 7 months ago by Ethan in Rumors, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Midori, a leaker known for correctly predicting numerous tidbits of information regarding Atlus and SEGA games, has come forward with a new claim that Nintendo is working on a project with the codename U-King-O – which could possibly be a port of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s codename is U-King, which means it can be reasonably assumed that this project refers to a port for Nintendo’s next console. It’s also safe to assume that this port would come with improvements; a higher resolution and frame rate would be nearly guaranteed if this were the case.
