The Kit & Krysta podcast spoke to Sean, who claims to be a former sales lead from Nintendo's sales and retail department. Sean predicts that Nintendo will release the Switch 2 sometime around mid-June, before the end of the school year. That way kids can get excited about the console with their classmates, and all the games that are on the way.

There’s increasing agreement over the likely release date of the Nintendo Switch 2 but apparently retailers are not to be trusted.

With Nintendo set to give fans a "closer look" at the console in April, a former staffer at the company has now predicted the Nintendo Switch 2 will launch in June with a pricetag between $400 and $450.
