Rumor: Nintendo Switch 2 reveal and release timing, Kirby: Planet Robobot getting Switch port

More rumors have surfaced not only regarding Nintendo Switch 2’s reveal and release timing, but also the apparent port of Kirby: Planet Robobot on Nintendo’s current console.

Today’s speculation comes from the Nate the Hate podcast. NateDrake, who’s name has been out there before with Nintendo rumors and the industry as a whole, held discussion pointing to a possible Nintendo Switch 2 reveal between the second half of January and early February. Given that an announcement is expected by the end of the fiscal year ending March 2025, that’s not too surprising. Nintendo’s next financial results briefing is also planned for February 4.

NateDrake goes on to say that he’s heard an event will be held for Nintendo Switch 2 in May. The console itself is apparently targeting a late May to June release, based on industry chatter.

That’s not the only rumor we have here. For the current Nintendo Switch, we’re apparently getting a Kirby: Planet Robobot port in 2025. Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, another game that was originally on Nintendo 3DS, received the same treatment a few months ago. It’s unclear if Planet Robobot would be a fairly straightforward port in HD, or if extra content would be brought to the table.

Just like with all rumors, nothing is confirmed until Nintendo itself comes forward. That being said, you can listen to the full podcast here.
