As the gaming world eagerly anticipates the arrival of Nintendo’s latest innovation, speculations are rife about the highly anticipated successor to the Nintendo Switch, aptly named the Switch X. Analysts in the gaming industry, including the reputable Dr. Serkan Toto of Kantan Games and Piers Harding-Rolls from Ampere Analysis, have chimed in with their predictions, adding fuel to the fervor.
Dr. Toto, renowned for his insights into the world of Nintendo, asserts that the Switch X is set to grace the gaming scene in 2024, debunking earlier rumors of a supposed “Pro” model. Shedding light on the development process, he reveals, “A ‘Pro’ model did exist, and certain developers were already in the know, having worked with the dev kit.” According to his projections, the Switch X is expected to hit the market with a price tag of $400, signaling a potential shift in game prices to $70.
Piers Harding-Rolls joins the chorus of anticipation, foreseeing a marginal boost in the console market, attributing it to the imminent launch of the Switch X towards the end of the year. However, both analysts hint at an evolutionary rather than revolutionary leap in hardware, likening it to the incremental upgrade seen in the transition from the Nintendo DS to the 3DS.
The industry buzz surrounding the Switch X escalated in 2023 when reports emerged of a demo showcasing the platform’s advanced capabilities at Gamescom. While Nintendo remains tight-lipped about the details, persistent rumors suggest enhanced features, including DLSS capabilities.
If the Switch X indeed follows in the footsteps of its predecessor, the Nintendo 3DS, gamers may expect improved hardware and innovative features. One burning question is its backward compatibility, a demand echoing among Nintendo enthusiasts.
The unveiling date for Nintendo’s new console remains shrouded in mystery. However, enthusiasts speculate that the February Direct, a traditional Nintendo event, might offer a sneak peek into the company’s plans for the coming year.
Meanwhile, the current Nintendo Switch continues to captivate gamers, with upcoming releases like the Paper Mario Thousand-Year Door HD remaster and an exciting new Princess Peach game, ensuring there’s no shortage of excitement on the gaming horizon.
