It seems that the gaming world is abuzz with excitement following the announcement of a potential successor to the Nintendo Switch. At the ongoing Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2024, Altec Lansing unveiled a new artificial intelligence-powered gaming software called AI Shark, which is said to be the successor to GameShark. The press release for AI Shark also dropped a bombshell by claiming that the Nintendo Switch 2 is set to launch in September 2024.
According to the press release, AI Shark is set to revolutionize the gaming experience with its AI-enhanced technology, providing enhanced gameplay for beginner-level users. The software is also said to utilize exclusive XGPT technology and real-time tensor processing units to enhance users’ gaming experiences by providing personalized hints and assistance in real-time.
However, the news of the Nintendo Switch 2 launch in September 2024 seems to have raised some eyebrows, as Nintendo has not officially confirmed the name of its next console or the release window for it. This has led to speculation that Altec Lansing may have disclosed this information prematurely in order to generate hype for its AI product.
Following the press release, Altec Lansing backtracked on the September release month, but confirmed that the tentative launch for the platform is “Fall 2024.” It also stated that Nintendo has not officially set the launch date yet, but did not deny the existence of the device or the fact that it’s set to launch this year.
Digital Trends reached out to Nintendo for confirmation of the accuracy of the press release, and is awaiting a response.
As the gaming community eagerly awaits more information about the potential launch of the Nintendo Switch 2, questions remain about the validity of the release window and the name of the console. It is advised to approach this news with skepticism until further confirmation is received from official sources.
