Based on how the first Nintendo Switch launch went down, customers may be able to buy the Nintendo Switch 2 at the earliest in June 2025.

A newly filed patent might give a look at some of the internal hardware inside the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 console ahead of its launch.

Nintendo has never utilized a "2" in any of its hardware launches, making the successor to the Switch a first of its kind. While this may seem like nothing more than an aesthetic choice, especially when the Wii U and SNES acted as successors to their respective console lines, it's a way bigger deal when you consider what that means for the future.
