Investing.com -- Nintendo’s shares witnessed a sharp rise in anticipation of the imminent unveiling of its new console, the Switch (NYSE:SWCH) 2.
This new console follows the success of the original Switch console, which was launched in 2017.
Multiple media outlets have reported that the unveiling of the new console is expected to happen soon.
One such report indicates a presentation on the Switch 2 console is anticipated next week, where Nintendo is likely to announce a pre-order date of April 2. Another media report suggests that the console’s launch could take place in June.
However, a spokeswoman at Nintendo did not confirm the report that the sale of the Switch 2 console would commence in June. The company’s shares closed 5.25% higher following these reports.
Earlier this year, in January, Nintendo, the Japanese company known for creating the Super Mario and Pokemon games, announced plans to launch the successor to its nearly eight-year-old console within the year.
The company did not disclose any further details about the price, launch date, or specifications of the upcoming console.
Nintendo has stated that it intends to reveal more information next month. The company also confirmed that the Switch 2 console would feature exclusive games.
