Nintendo fans are getting hyped as rumors circulate about the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. While it’s wise to take this news with a pinch of caution, looking back at how Nintendo launched previous consoles hints that a big reveal might be just around the corner in the next two months.

The buzz started with whispers of an upcoming Nintendo Direct, but what really got everyone talking was the sudden jump in Nintendo’s stock prices. They’ve hit levels not seen since 2007, suggesting that investors might know something exciting about Nintendo’s future plans.

Taking a trip down memory lane, Nintenduo points out that similar stock spikes happened just before Nintendo spilled the beans about their smartphone move in March 2015, unveiled the Nintendo 3DS in March 2010, and announced the Wii in 2004.

Looking at the timeline, it seems reasonable to expect the first official word on Switch 2 between January and February 2024. This could be followed by a big presentation in March, with the actual launch anticipated in May 2024.

While the excitement in the market is mostly about Switch 2, the way Nintendo stocks are trading feels like everyone’s thrilled about enjoying soft serve on a hot summer day. Keep in mind, though, the gaming world loves surprises, and what’s really going on behind all this speculation remains to be seen. As we ride this wave of rumors and stock ups and downs, Nintendo fans are eagerly waiting for the official word and the promise of the next big thing in gaming.
