Rumor: Possible Switch 2 Screen Details Leak
A new social media rumor about Nintendo’s upcoming console may shed some light on the system’s handheld gaming capabilities.
While NIntendo has kept mostly quiet about the Switch 2 games lineup, other developers have announced or teased that their games will be getting native releases on the platform. The latest game to tease a Switch 2 release is upcoming 3D platformer Ruffy and the Riverside, which recently confirmed its June 26 release date. The announcement, as spotted by Go Nintendo, mentioned that Ruffy and the Riverside will be released “onto Nintendo Switch(es),” which certainly suggests that not only is the game launching for the OG Switch, but it also has a Switch 2 port in the works.
Ruffy and the Riverside May Come to Switch 2
If one wants to take the sentence literally, it even seems to help narrow down the Switch 2 release date. Assuming that it will indeed be launching on “Nintendo Switch(es)” on June 26, that seems to suggest that the Switch 2 will be released by that date. Of course, fans shouldn’t get their hopes up until Nintendo itself announces the Switch 2 release date.
While many are expecting the Switch 2 release date to be within the next few months, it’s always possible that plans will change and Nintendo will end up launching the console later in the year instead. Ultimately, all fans can do is speculate about the Switch 2 release date and its potential games lineup until Nintendo decides to share more information. Luckily, with the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct just over a week away at this point, the wait is nearly at an end.
In the meantime, Ruffy and the Riverside is confirmed for other platforms besides just the Switch(es). Ruffy and the Riverside is also coming to PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S consoles on June 26, so 3D platformer fans can mark their calendars accordingly.
