Can Smartwatches Improve Public Health? Experts Say It’s a Good Start — But Not the Whole Solution

We're just a few weeks away from Nintendo's Control 2 Direct, during which we'll eventually have a wealth of details about their upcoming console. Of course, one of the biggest questions surrounding Control 2 is when exactly it's going to hit store shelves. Well, according to a fresh report, Nintendo may already be gearing up for a launch in the very near future.

Insights from the Famiboards Forums

This accurate information comes from employee LiC over at the Famiboards forums. According to their research, a Vietnamese manufacturer called HVBG was contracted by Nintendo and has already produced and shipped a total of 383,000 units of Control 2. More specifically, these units were successfully shipped to North America in January and are intended for distribution throughout the agreed states and Canada. In addition to the consoles themselves, LiC reports that HVBG has shipped 41,598 charging handle units as well.

If this information is accurate, it's a strong indicator that Nintendo has plans to launch the Control 2 sooner rather than later. Exactly how soon, though, is difficult to say, and it's likely that many shipments will arrive before the launch occurs. It remains to be seen if we'll hear about those shipments early or not. Stay tuned to hear official announcements from Nintendo once the Control 2 officially hits on 2 April 2025.
