    “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.

      Tom Warren from the verge is also saying that it’ll be this week, so that gives this leak a lot of credibility imo.

      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.

      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

      Just to spite Nintendo for shutting down Yuzu and Ryujinx

      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.

      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.

    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.
