According to a new report, Nintendo plans to launch the Switch 2 in 2H 2024 and has already sent dev kits to partner studios.

The new console will reportedly launch with an LCD screen in order to keep costs down, as the internal storage will likely need to increase. Even the $349.99 Switch OLED model ships with just 64GB of storage.

The only way to stop these losses from totally ballooning next fiscal is a new device, and the second half of 2024 sounds like a realistic release window to me.
