While NIntendo has kept mostly quiet about the Switch 2 games lineup, other developers have announced or teased that their games will be getting native releases on the platform. The latest game to tease a Switch 2 release is upcoming 3D platformerRuffy and the Riverside, which recently confirmed its June 26 release date.

Assuming that it will indeed be launching on “Nintendo Switch(es)” on June 26, that seems to suggest that the Switch 2 will be released by that date. Of course, fans shouldn’t get their hopes up until Nintendo itself announces the Switch 2 release date.
