Report: Switch 2 Announcement Expected This Week
Reliable leaker and podcaster, Nate the Hate, announced on his podcast that the Switch 2 will be announced this Thursday, 16th January. Meanwhile, Tom Warren of The Verge corroborated on X th…
Breaking news! We might have news sometime soon!
Good gods! Already? Could they not have prepped us for this with an announcement like last month?
It would have killed xmas hardware sales so no
"Nintendo WILL announce the Switch 2 in March. Everything I'm hearing dating back to Gamescom last year has indicated something was happening in March. That talk has resurfaced in the past few weeks, and it is indicating that the Switch 2 is set for a reveal or an announcement in March."
That's from the same RELIABLE leaker from a year ago and that's just the first one I saw. The amount of leakers who claimed it would get announced over the last year is comically large. I guess if you post this once a week eventually you'll be right. I mean, yeah an announcement seems likely at this point but there's no need to bring Randomguess McGee into the conversation.
Nintendo themselves confirmed that the console will be released in 2025.
So half the accurate leaks will be people mapping out when this will likely be and then backwards marketing plans to release and announcements
Plans can change in the course of a year. At the time, that probably was their plan, and that it didn't happen doesn't make it a guess. We're hearing this same reveal on the 16th from multiple corroborating sources at this point.
Tom Warren from the verge is also saying that it'll be this week, so that gives this leak a lot of credibility imo.
Maybe Wilds will be a launch game and Nintendo anticipated the release to capitalise on it? Dunno, just playing devil's advocate.
Silksong launch title?
You know, the timeline makes sense but I'll leave this here anyway: 🤡
I'm not expecting an announcement until late March. They're not going to want to commit to a price any time soon. Blame that clown in oompa loompa makeup.
Y'all gonna buy this thing?
If it’s backwards compatible with digital software then yes, day one. I held off on the Switch for over a year, just long enough to get one without vulnerabilities but not long enough to get the higher efficiencies.
Probably. I have 2 kids, and I still love Nintendo games. It does depend on a few things so I will wait to see what its capable of. I also don't see myself buying it at release, I'm to old for that FOMO.
Same here.
Santa will be buying it for Xmas this year no doubt.
Kids will be reminded the hard way that Mario kart skills cross titles.
yes
nope.
Nope, but there are surely deals that are locked up in this thing's launch, and I've got an unannounced 3D Mario game on my Fantasy Critic roster.
Maybe in three or four years when the mid-gen refresh comes out.
Depends if I have to be in a rat race with scalpers and their bots again. I do not wish to relive the PS5 fiasco.
“Oh deer…”
Only if I have to for Metroid Prime 4, if I can't play it on Switch or emulate it.
Potentially, but only for a new Smash Bros. (same reason I got the Wii U and Switch)
Going to depend entirely on the specs and launch titles.
I'm hoping for the virtual boy switch
Took them long enough.
