CES 2024 has been dominated by AI, with companies unveiling new uses for the technology and some controversial news. One such example is the reintroduction of the 1990s cheat brand GameShark as AI Shark by Altec Lansing, which may have inadvertently revealed the release date for the Nintendo Switch 2. According to DigitalTrends, the press release for AI Shark not only outlines its new AI capabilities but also hints at its official launch alongside the Nintendo Switch 2 in September 2024.

As of this writing, Nintendo has not provided any information about its new console, so there is a possibility that this is simply speculation on Altec Lansing's part. Nintendo has not responded to the statement in the press release, but Altec Lansing clarified the September release month to a more general Fall 2024 release window in a statement to DigitalTrends. Later, the company told Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier that they were "just guessing" on the release date, but this could have been an attempt at damage control.
For those who are curious, AI Shark will not focus on cheat codes like the previous Game Shark brand once did, as the press release states that the tech "focuses on helping individuals improve their gameplay over time." The announcement also mentions that AI Shark is "designed for casual gamers" and that it "seamlessly integrates with Altec Lansing's commitment to providing unmatched audio experiences and introducing high levels of innovation to the market."
Nintendo has announced several titles for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 set to launch in 2024. Among them are Another Code: Recollection, Mario Vs. Donkey Kong, and Princess Peach: Showtime, all slated for release in the first quarter of the year. The release of the Nintendo Switch 2 in 2024 aligns with our earlier predictions for the gaming industry.
Editor's P/S
As a hard fan of Nintendo, I am thrilled by the rumors suggesting a potential release of the Nintendo Switch 2 in Fall 2024. The prospect of experiencing the next level of gaming innovation from Nintendo is incredibly exciting, and I can't wait to see what new features and capabilities the Switch 2 will bring. The hint provided by AI Hint Software Company adds to the anticipation, and I hope that Nintendo will officially confirm the release date and provide more details about the console soon.
However, I am also cautious about getting too carried away by these rumors. Nintendo has not officially announced anything yet, and there is always the possibility that the information from AI Hint Software Company is inaccurate or based on speculation. I trust Nintendo to make the right decisions regarding the release of their products, and I am confident that they will provide an amazing gaming experience whenever the Switch 2 eventually arrives. In the meantime, I will continue to enjoy my current Nintendo Switch and look forward to any official updates or announcements from Nintendo.
