Since practically the launch of the original Switch, there have been rumors about what the Nintendo Switch 2 (or whatever the Big N’s next-generation console ends up being called) will be like and when it will arrive. But for obvious reasons, this year they have intensified, since the Japanese company made official mention of the machine for the first time. The most recent ones talk about a possible announcement before November or about what the console will end up being called, something that is still the subject of debate.
But what most recent rumors are pointing to is that Nintendo Switch 2 will cost $400 USD. But not content with that, a Taiwanese portal has leaked new information about the machine and that is quite relevant if true, since it would greatly change the design concept that we would have of it.
Nintendo Switch 2 would once again be a kind of Nintendo DS
You read correctly: the rumor says that Nintendo Switch 2 would have a double screen, exactly like the Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS. This is what the community has collected from a post on a Taiwanese portal called Taiwan Economic Daily News. It is given a certain credibility because those countries are where numerous machine components such as screens are manufactured. They mention that the new console will have a larger screen and include “a dual screen design.” Another interesting detail is that the processing and performance of the screen would improve and even “AI functions can be added,” says the portal, in addition to an increase in its battery.
Of course, they have also talked about the price and a price of $400 is again indicated. Although it seems like a very cheap price, Nintendo is confident in the popularity of the Switch and that it will sell many of them, which will not give it a profit, but the number of games sold for said machine will give it a profit.
As for when it would be announced, they say that Nintendo has taken advantage of the presentation (and poor reception) of PS5 Pro to advance the announcement of Nintendo Switch 2, because if this price is true, they will have won the “battle” against Sony by a landslide and almost all players will choose to get the hybrid console.
