According to Gaming Bolt , rumors about Nintendo's next-generation console have been circulating for a while, and in recent weeks, more details about the device's hardware and expected launch date have begun to emerge.

Last week, VGC claimed that the new Switch would use an LCD display instead of an OLED and would launch sometime in the second half of 2024. Later, a popular leaker named NateTheHate also provided more details about the device in his podcast.

According to the leaker, the Nintendo Switch successor will have an 8-inch LCD display at launch, up from the 6.2-inch screen on the standard Switch and the 7-inch OLED Switch. The leaker also said that the Switch 2 will continue to use physical cartridges or possibly a new format, and claimed that the console will feature expanded internal storage of up to 512GB. Finally, he expects the new Switch to launch around September or October.

If the aforementioned launch date is accurate, we're still a little over a year away, so Nintendo Switch fans will likely have to wait a few more months for more reliable news.

As for the Nintendo Switch, the seven-year-old console continues to post impressive sales. As of June 30, the device has sold more than 129.5 million units worldwide.
