Nacon’s recent financial earnings report gives an expected Switch 2 release window
A third-party publisher expects the Nintendo Switch 2 to be released between April and September 2025.
In a recent press release discussing its Q3 earnings for this fiscal year (as spotted on X by MauroNL), the publisher noted that it expects the Nintendo Switch 2 to be released during the first half of the 2025/2026 fiscal year, which runs from April to September 2024.
Among other factors, Nacon lists “the arrival of the Nintendo Switch 2 console, for which Nacon already has compatible games and a full range of accessories” as something it anticipates will increase operating income.
The compatible games likely refer both to Nacon’s Switch games (which will run on Switch 2) and its Switch 2-specific games.
NACON expects the Nintendo Switch 2 to launch in the first half of its 2025/2026 fiscal year, which runs from April – Sepember 2025.

In a Nintendo Switch 2 reveal video published on last week, Nintendo confirmed the console will launch this year, with a full reveal planned for April 2.
As expected, Switch 2 will sport a similar form-factor to the original Switch, with detachable joins – this time magnetic – and a large screen. Nintendo also showcased what appears to be a new Mario Kart game during the trailer.
Commenting on the reveal, Japan game industry consultancy firm Kantan Games’ CEO Dr Serkan Toto told VGC that shareholders appeared to be happy that previous Switch 2 leaks were true and that Nintendo was playing it safe with the new console’s design.
