The Nintendo Switch successor will reportedly launch in March 2025, a delay that's down to the prevention of 'scalping.'

Earlier today, February 26, Japanese outlet Nikkei reported that the Nintendo Switch's eventual successor wouldn't launch until March 2025, and would boast a portability function, just like the current Nintendo Switch. This aligns with recent rumors, which claimed that Nintendo had delayed the new hardware out of launching this year in 2024.
