"Nintendo Switch 2 Set to Feature 8-Inch LCD Screen, Analysts Predict"

The unannounced Nintendo Switch 2 is reported to feature an 8-inch LCD screen and is expected to launch in 2024, disappointing some fans who had hoped for an OLED screen. The next-gen console is rumored to support portable mode and come with a cartridge slot for physical games, potentially priced at $400 with games at $70. Questions remain about its backward compatibility with original Switch games, and while Nintendo has not confirmed details, speculation suggests potential hints in the company's customary February Direct.

Nintendo Aims for Next-Gen Console Release in 2024

Nintendo is reportedly targeting a release date in the second half of 2024 for its next-generation console, which will likely feature a portable mode similar to the Nintendo Switch. The console may launch with an LCD screen instead of OLED to reduce costs, and it is expected to support physical games via a cartridge slot. Backwards compatibility for Switch games remains uncertain, as some third-party publishers are concerned about its impact on sales of next-gen titles. A 2024 release would align with Nintendo's projected decline in Switch sales and historical trend of launching hardware mid-cycle compared to competitors.
