"Nintendo's Switch 2 Release Delayed to 2025, Shares Plummet"

Nintendo's rumored "Switch 2" may not be released until the first quarter of 2025, according to sources. Publishers have been briefed on the launch date change, with key titles like Metroid Prime 4 potentially planned for early 2025. The company's stock slid on the release delay rumors, and not much is known about the device, including its name. Rumors suggest backward compatibility with Switch, 4K capabilities, and visual quality similar to PS5 and Series X. If the new console does launch in Q1 2025, it's likely to be announced at a Nintendo Direct showcase later this year.
