The Nintendo Switch 2 release date remains one of gaming's biggest mysteries, with fans eagerly awaiting official confirmation from Nintendo. Notably, Nintendo has a history of launching consoles before their promotional events wrap up - Switch 1 launched before its experience tour ended in cities like Seoul, and the Switch 2 could follow suit, with a major event still scheduled in Seoul for June. The Nintendo DS arrived just months before Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, while the Nintendo Switch launched ahead of Pokémon Sword and Shield.
