Fans are dubbing the upcoming device 'Switch 2', although its official name hasn't been revealed. It's also unclear how much it will resemble the original £280/$300 Switch console (pictured), which revolutionized gaming with its 2-in-1 'hybrid' design.

On Monday, shares in Nintendo dropped after the video game maker announced that its latest console would not be available until after Christmas. Since it revealed that the Switch 2 console would be delayed from the last quarter of 2024 to early 2025, the Japanese company was down almost 10%. Investors are worried that the delay will result in poor results this year. The seven-year-old Switch's sales have stalled, and the delay means no replacement will be able to meet holiday demand.
