Nintendo’s Three-Phase Launch Plan for Switch 2 Ensures it Won’t End Up Like the Wii U

Next week, we’ll finally get a glimpse of the Nintendo Switch 2, and people can hardly wait to find out how powerful it is. It appears that Nintendo is already strategizing for the future, as they are said to have a three-phase launch strategy for the upcoming console. Given this plan, it seems that Nintendo wants to avoid a repeat of the Wii U debacle, so we’ll be curious to see how things unfold.

As per a report by Insider Gaming, the three-stage rollout is planned with significant game launches slated for June in the initial stage, followed by either October or November in the second stage, and the holiday season for the final phase. Although no specific games were disclosed for this release window, it was hinted that the first phase could potentially include Nintendo-published games and the second phase might be rich with releases from third-party developers.

Information about the holiday season for Switch 2 has been disclosed, leading us to believe that Nintendo may unveil a significant game to captivate the wider gaming audience. It’s quite possible that the upcoming Mario Kart could be released during this period, as console sales typically increase during the holidays. There are also whispers of the potential release of the 60 FPS Breath of the Wild, but at this stage it remains speculation.

It appears Nintendo is gearing up for a grand launch of their upcoming system, hoping to recreate the success of the original Switch and avoid any Wii U-like missteps that proved detrimental to the company. With the first Switch being one of their most successful consoles, if not the most, selling millions of units, it’s clear they aim to replicate this triumph with their upcoming system.

The upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 appears to boast several attractive features, as Nintendo has indicated that it will support games from the original Switch console. While a few novelty games may not function, it’s likely that most of the Switch’s game library will run smoothly and possibly even benefit from some enhancements.
