It appears that the Nintendo Switch 2 has entered full production, based on recent reports connected to the Japanese company’s assembler. According to a post on X by David Gibson, Nintendo’s assembler, Hosiden, is investing 2 billion yen in production equipment and 1 billion yen in automation during the third quarter of the current fiscal year for a key client in the entertainment industry. This indicates that full production has likely begun.
In a post on the Gaming Leaks subreddit, popular insider NateTheHate shared more details about the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, confirming that the new console will support backward compatibility with the original Switch system.
It looks like we won’t have to wait much longer for official news on the Nintendo Switch 2. Earlier this week, Christopher Dring from GamesIndustry.biz hinted that industry insiders are hearing something about the console happening this month. While a full reveal isn’t expected, there’s a good chance we might get a first look at the system and its official name.
The Nintendo Switch 2 hasn’t been officially announced yet, but we’ll keep you posted with any updates as more information becomes available.
No-one seems to have noticed the Nintendo assembler- Hosiden is spending ¥2bn on production equipment and ¥1bn on automation in FY3/25 for its major customer in amusement (Nintendo). I still expect Sept news and March 2025 release for next device. pic.twitter.com/APGEGGSyS8
