The global success of Nintendo Switch is well known, with the big N rising after the gray period of the Wii U era. A versatile console, suitable for everyone and with third-party support like never before, and a Switch 2 it would be far from unthinkable. In fact, if there is a sore point regarding the current jewel of the Kyoto House, it is precisely that concerning the technical aspect.
Switch is a performing machine, but with its limitations, so much so that the gap with another portable platform soon to be released seems to be abysmal, but also with the consoles of this generation. Despite this, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa said the Switch would only be in the middle of its life cycle (which we can believe in without too many problems, given the still fresh release of the model OLED).
A leak leaked online today, however, would reveal the existence of projects for a successor to Nintendo Switch, a full-blown number 2 console. It seems that this information, found following a news leak, with the work of a DataMiner following, they confirmed the existence of a more powerful version of Switch, which would solve all the problems we were talking about previously.

In any case, there is still nothing confirmed, nor have there been any announcements from Nintendo regarding a Switch 2, and although it may actually be a project in the pipeline for the company, we invite you to consider this information as a rumor and to take the information with a grain of salt.
In the meantime, Nintendo is still looking to the future, and in the last period it has also declared itself intrigued by the NFT market, but that it would be exploited, if necessary, in full Nintendo style. In addition, the company has also pulled out of what has been called the acquisition race that saw Microsoft and Sony as protagonists.
