French publisher NACON in a recent press release says they expect the Nintendo Switch 2 to launch between April and September of this year.
"The arrival of the Nintendo Switch 2 console, for which NACON already has compatible games and a full range of accessories," said the publisher when discussing its first half of the 2025/2026 fiscal year, which runs from April to September 2024.
The compatible games most likely refer to Nacon's Switch 1 games as Nintendo's next console is backwards compatible.
