A major Nintendo manufacturing partner could potentially be hinting at the upcoming announcement of the Switch 2, according to a recent report from a memory chip company. The Switch's arrival onto the scene served as one of the most exciting moments in recent gaming history, with the console's unique mix of handheld and home console gaming becoming a smash hit. The Switch would sell hundreds of millions of consoles worldwide, even becoming the best-selling console of all-time in Japan. Now, all signs are pointing towards the console's follow-up being close at hand.

While Nintendo has not yet made any official reveals about its heavily-rumored Switch successor, the company has been far from quiet on the matter. Nintendo confirmed that fans would not have to wait long for the full announcement of the console, confirming that the "Switch 2" would be revealed within the current "fiscal year." The developer has also consistently kept fans' expectations in check, frequently stating that no new information would come about the console for many of its recent Nintendo Directs. However, new rumors may suggest that the console's reveal is coming very soon.
