Rumor: Nintendo Switch 2 to Feature 8-Inch LCD Screen

Jan 28, 2024 1:16 PM

Rumors are circulating that the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 will feature an 8-inch LCD screen, which would make it the largest display on a Nintendo console to date. The new screen size is a significant increase from the Nintendo Switch's 6.2-inch display and the Switch OLED's 7-inch screen. This information, reportedly revealed by Bloomberg, suggests that the new Switch model will boast a visual upgrade that captures the attention of the gaming community. Furthermore, these reports align with previous speculations that the Nintendo Switch 2 is set to release in 2024. Nintendo's original Switch has experienced remarkable success with over 132 million units sold, indicating a strong market for the forthcoming console.

What are the expected features of the Nintendo Switch 2 aside from the rumored screen size?

The Nintendo Switch 2 is rumored to feature not only a larger 8-inch screen but also potentially enhanced performance capabilities, including better battery life, improved processing power, and higher-resolution display output. However, specific details are yet to be confirmed by Nintendo.

The Nintendo Switch, released in March 2017, revolutionized the gaming industry by offering both traditional home console and portable handheld experiences. Its unique design, paired with hit titles like "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" and "Super Mario Odyssey," catapulted it to commercial success. The anticipation surrounding the Nintendo Switch 2 highlights the substantial community excitement for the next iteration of hybrid gaming, which promises to build upon the solid foundation laid by its predecessor with advanced technology and potentially new gameplay experiences.
