Following a GameStop database leak revealing 'Switch 2' accessory SKUs yesterday, a similar situation has now supposedly played out with French retailer 'Fnac'.
The retailer's website reportedly features multiple placeholder listings for the Switch "successor". It's believed these could be different bundles offered by the retailer. Apart from this, there's also at least one item of software listed for the 'Switch 2'. This appears to be a game by Take-Two:
Along with this, there are now also some rumours floating about that stem from the same leak. One includes a list of publishers and the amount of titles they currently have planned for Nintendo's next-generation system.
And the other much wilder one claims to have potentially narrowed down some of the titles that could be on the way - listing off series like Tekken, FIFA, and Red Dead Redemption.
Keep in mind nothing has been officially announced or revealed just yet. Nintendo previously mentioned how it would announce the Switch "successor" in the current fiscal year (ending March 2025).
What do make of all this? Let us know in the comments.

These leaks are wild - just reveal it already Nintendo.
€359 seems unlikely but who knows.
Can they just reveal the stupid thing already? Or are they really gonna hold out for as long as they possibly can?
I am gonna wait and see. I don't trust leaks like this unless its on ESRB which is more reliable.
I'll be patient and wait while riding out these wildfires.
This is getting seriously boring now.
Take a break NL.
How about some reviews of the 25 million games that come out every week on eshop?
This is insane
It’ll be announced alongside the release date of Silksong………hahahahahahahha
Please next week please next week…
I’m more interested in 1st party games. Hoping Nintendo makes an announcement soon, I’d rather Nintendo do that part than the leaks.
Crazy how we’ve basically had at least one notable leak a day since the new year
I wonder until how long Nintendo will respond those leaked hubbub.
This week has to be the longest Nintendo presentation they've ever done! So hype! Can't wait to see the launch line up sizzle reel come out of Reddit or X any time now!
Here are my guess as to what games those may be:
Today or 2mw nintendo suddenly announce a Direct
In the Wii U days, every small "NX" leak and rumor was a light in the darkness. It was such an exciting time and gave us hope that better times were ahead.
But nowadays, it's just annoying. I think each leak is starting to make me exponentially less interested in the new system.
It's so sad, but it's probably true that one of the Bethesda games is pretty likely to be yet another Skyrim port.
BUT, given what we know about the hardware, I wouldn't bet against the new Indiana Jones game being one of titles. That would be a pretty interesting show piece title if they can get the ray tracing to work on a mobile system. It would require a lot of collaboration with Nvidia to pull off, but it would make a statement of what Nvidia thinks the system is capable of.
@Serpenterror I’d add Monster Hunter Wilds to that. Seems like a safe bet.
@Serpenterror Technically, Bandai Namco has released an mainline Tekken on Nintendo platform. Tekken 3D which was the enchanced version of 6 came to the 3DS.
you know what, ive been waiting and waiting to play red dead redemption 2. If its on switch 2 around launch, i just might go for it then!
I am convinced the reveal will be either a day or two after Donkey Kong release, or the following week.
I cant get rid of the idea that Nintendo just shadowdrop the new console. They wont....
Come on Nintenslow you will have zero to reveal by the end of next week.
Tekken would be immense on a Nintendo console for would it be the first time??
Final Fantasy Tactics remaster...
I am hoping one of those EA games is Mass Effect Legendary Edition. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order/Survivor would be cool too.
Tekken 8 and Red Dead 2 would be huge, would love to play those on Switch 2. Fingers crossed one of the Bethesda titles is Doom Dark Ages.
@Neckcrane the Wii U had a version of Tekken.
I'm interested in wich games SE has in store. Both tactics and FF IX remakes are rumoured.
Looks like nice initial support for the platform from 3rd parties. Theres a few games I'd like from each of those - RDR2, Starfield, Star Wars Jedi Survivor amongst a wishlist of others
@SBandy1 We're on the cusp of a new Nintendo generation, which is potentially being leaked by innumerous sources on a near daily basis.
The review for Hentai Girls: Adorable Angel will just have to wait.
80 EUR games? Not a chance.
A list of games I’ve no interest in!
Pricing seems quite off! £67 (converted) per game or £300 console think the console from what we’ve seen is probably £350 but £300 would really get things moving!
@Koffeeking0407 MHwilds would be amazing launch title but I still don’t think it can run it. I think it will be a worldG style remaster in launch year or a cloud version of wilds.
80€ is crazy even though FNAC is more expensive than other shops. I get my AAA releases for 44 or 49€ at the local supermarket. 360€ for the console makes sense.
Really hoping for RDR2 as a launch game! Would love to play that again but on the go. Amazing that its even possible.
I can see the Switch 2 being primarily a third-party ports machine in its first year or so. Nintendo has its work out by not being able to fall back on Wii U ports this time around.
Bandai Namco x 2 = Tekken + Elden Ring.
@Not_Soos you can also choose not to look at the leaks. just spend less time on your phone and do something fun.
@Jack_Goetz And no new nintendo first party games? No new Mario kart new 3d mario?
@Mythra Of course, but they'll likely be few and far between as is usually the case. Development times are steadily increasing each generation, and Nintendo is well-known for not rushing to meet deadlines if a game isn't ready (all power to the Big-N for that). So yeah, without the first-party ports of the Wii U this time around, I think it might be quite barren in its first year or so.
Id be game for Tekken 8! It'd give me a good reason to dust off my tekken tag wii u fight stick....
Interesting, looking forward to seeing if there's truth to these leaks - would love to see Tekken 8 and Red Dead Redemption 2 on Switch's successor (Fifa is practically inevitable so no surprises there other than me not particularly caring for it personally)!
It would be nice with a Tekken game for the 'Switch 2' (especially if it was "tailor made"/exclusive for the system).
Damn, hope Red Dead Redemption 2 comes out on Switch as well.
Does it really require that much more power than the first one?
@Jack_Goetz I don't think so. Nintendo has learned from its mistakes and in 2017 Nintendo also had a great launch year in a much shorter period. Besides Mario Kart 8, there were all new games that year. In addition, we also get Metroid Prime 4 and Pokemon za and the new Monolith soft game that should probably be released this year.
A Lot of epd teams haven't released games for years. they have been working for the switch 2 for years now.
@Uncle_Franklin RDR was developed for PS3 and Xbox 360. RDR2 was developed for PS4 and Xbox One 🙂
@SBandy1 People keep complaining and yet these leak articles consistently have the highest user engagement, like comment counts. So yeah, keep complaining, but y'all gonna keep coming back too, and NLife knows that.
@AlexOlney
Hentai Girls: Adorable Angel waits for no man.
@jco83
Oh right.
@Ulysses
I'm not even planning on getting a Switch 2,
and I'm interested in these leaks.
What is Nintendo Waiting? I think that the only thing they don't have ready is their own AAA launch titles. Otherwise this makes no sense
@Mythra Breath of the Wild was technically a port. Metroid 4 is being developed for the original Switch, so that's not even a new title for Switch 2 really. We'll see...
@Jack_Goetz sadly the reason why M4 presentation looked so disappointing to me.
Not expecting PS5 graphics of course, but something better than the already dated Metroid Prime Remastered. It should have been more powerful and exclusive to the new console. Any AAA game developed with the Current Switch in mind in 2025 is too dated.
Sad because I really love the franchise and wanted something revolutionary, again.
When the hell are we going to get another Soul Calibur?
If Tekken 8 has all of the DLC so far, I might get it ASAP. Maybe even 2 copies, one for a family member
@Jack_Goetz Nintendo knows they need a great line up to make it a success. They saw that in 2017, that's why I expect the same again and perhaps even better because they are now in better order with all developers working on 1 console compared to the Wii U period. back then the development teams were divided between handheld and console. But we will see.
Two Namco games… I’m guessing the Elden Ring spin-off and Demon Slayer 2.
@Diowine @Diowine metroid prime 4 needs the current switch's 145 million plus install base to continue growing. You can't blame the current Switch holders to make this game exclusive for the Switch 2. but I do hope they release an improved version on the switch 2
@Ulysses exactly they whine for the sake of whining. If you don't like leaks, you shouldn't pay attention to them.
EA: Sims 4?
Square Enix: NieR Replicant?
@Serpenterror I could see everything you mentioned happening. Aside from Red Dead 2 and NBA Street
I hope these rumors are true. I know Tekken 8 & Red Dead 2 are pushing things a bit too far. Especially Tekken 8. If anything a Tekken release would be an older Tekken game. Red Dead I could see a lesser version of it happening.all depends on the specs. I really would like to see this rumored Halo Collection. Possibly even a COD collection.
Another sign?: My Amazon Metroid Prime 4 pre-order — which I made back on August 22nd, 2018 haha — was cancelled by Amazon today! WHAT DOES IT MEAN???
@Lord I hear ya but regardless I’ll still be getting Wilds on Steam. I am enthusiastic about the next system but it’s hard to get overly excited for it like I could about new systems in the past. I don’t think they need to move away from the form factor of the Switch but at the same time it becomes more like the next iteration of the iPhone where it’s got great new features but hey, it’s still pretty much the same. I just don’t know what can change about the form factor that would get people psychotically excited for gaming systems anymore. Also, if magnetically connected joycon are legit I’m not so sure how I’m gonna feel about it. I primarily play in handheld so in that regard I play my Steam Deck more that the Switch due to being annoyed by the constant wiggle of the joycon in my hands as I’m playing. Sorry for the brain dump. It’s been a super craptastic day at work with one of my clients so I’m running on cruise control at this point.
There is a rumor from the ppl that guessed right the dates of PS5 and Alamo clock that Nintendo plans to reveal the Switch 2 next Friday 17th.
The console launch date would be 3rd March with MK9 and RDR2 as the launching games.
@Serpenterror Quake 3 Arena would likely be like the previous two Quake games: eShop. Possibly a Limited Run release, can't Bethesda published a 25 year old game on a cart (but I could be wrong). It would possibly be Fallout... either 3 or 4.
Starting to think Nintendo is going to make an announcement next week. They wanted to wait until after CES was finished, so they wouldn't be competing with the show for news coverage.
