Audio electronics giant Altec Lansing has created a startling news with its latest press release, introducing an artificial intelligence-powered successor to GameShark known as “AI Shark.”
However, amidst the AI excitement, an inadvertent leak might have surfaced, hinting at the potential release date for the much-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2.
Is this for real this time?
When Will We See Nintendo Switch 2?
As reported by Kotaku, Digital Trends initially spotted a sentence in Altec Lansing’s press release on Jan. 11. The sentence casually hinted at a September launch for the Nintendo Switch 2. The report was now deleted.
While Altec Lansing clarified that Nintendo has not finalized the release month, they cautiously mentioned a tentative launch window set for “Fall 2024.”
Interestingly, the company did not deny the existence of the console or retract the unexpected revelation.

A Series of Clashing Statements
In a subsequent statement to Digital Trends, Altec Lansing backtracked, stating that the Fall 2024 window wasn’t official, and the Big N has not “officially” disclosed any plans for the Switch 2 launch.
Judging from their contradictory statement, Altec Lansing might just be merely speculating a huge leak to generate attention. This tells us that the report might be inaccurate.
How Will Nintendo React About This?
The bold move by Altec Lansing, whether speculative or informed, may not sit well with Nintendo. The gaming giant might not appreciate potential leaks, especially considering a recent AI-related incident involving Mario at CES 2024.
According to Jason Schreier at Bloomberg, an AI Shark spokesperson conveyed that the company is making an educated guess about the Nintendo Switch 2’s release date, adding a layer of uncertainty to the situation.

Unlikely AI Shark Insider Information
While it remains a possibility that Altec Lansing, GameShark, and AI Shark might possess confidential details about the Switch 2, skepticism is warranted.
It’s more plausible that the company is taking a calculated guess, strategically adding it in a press release to spark conversations and elevate interest in an otherwise overlooked AI venture.
At this point, no one knows (unless you’re a Nintendo employee) about the Switch 2’s debut. However, as CNBC reports, Kantan Games CEO Serkan Toto thought that it’s indeed coming out in the second half of 2024.
Previous leakers claimed that Switch 2 will boast an OLED option just like its predecessor.
It was even a subject of hot controversy when reports said that it was undergoing a demo at Gamescom 2023.
At that time, speculations pointed out that there were select people who were testing the upcoming console ahead of its launch. There were sources who claimed that it even runs like a PS5 as evident by the Switch-exclusive title The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
