For nearly eight years, the Nintendo Switch has found a huge foothold in the gaming world, coming dangerously close to having sold 150 million lifetime units at the time of writing. But eight years is a long time for a video game console to be on the market. Naturally, there will be a new one, and we think we'll find out about it soon.

The information comes from tipster Nate the Hate, known for industry scoops and accurate predictions about launches. In the latest edition of his podcast Monday, he claimed he had been told the Nintendo Switch 2 would be revealed on Thursday, January 16.

Leakers seem to have figured out what a mystery button does on the Nintendo Switch 2 controller ahead of the system's reveal.
