Looks Like The Nintendo Switch 2 Launch Rumors Are True...

[@AndresRestart]

Assuming the Switch 2 reveal is between late January and early February and the release is between late May to early July, what kind of presentation do you think the reveal would be? Just a 3 minute trailer or something more extensive?

[@gamemaster2819]

I'm expecting a reveal similar to the Switch (just a trailer showing off people playing the console and teasing a few new games) and then something more like a direct to showcase the differences between the standard Switch, what can be transferred over, and some of the first year's games

If (1) the manufacturing has started around the same time as the Switch, and (2) Nintendo wants 2 times as many units, it seems likely May/June 2025 is the release.

[@AndresRestart]

Seems like Nintendo really wants to hit the ground running. If they sell through 6-8 million consoles in the Summer that will likely encourage strong third party support.

So he can say the month when they will have an event, but not the month when it will be revealed only that it will be before the end of March which we already knew?

[@TheRealChristmasWaluigi]

Its just speculation, Nothing to take to heart

[@Wesayianshavenolimits]

@TheRealChristmasWaluigi I can also speculate doesn’t mean it should be newsworthy. And it wasn’t speculation he said he heard an event was happening, that’s not a speculation it’s heresay. I just find it weird how he heard about an event for it and not the reveal, doesn’t seem right.

[@SuperFowlMouth]

If the rumour that Nintendo has millions in warehouses is true, then a 2-month-ish gap between announcement video (which could be another hour-long deep dive like the original switch) could definitely be possible.

[@BlueThundah75]

At this point I'm convinced that we won't won't see a Switch 2 presentation until the console has been sitting on shelves for 6 months.

[@mackay700]

1:26 What game is that?

[@CD-Beats]

I think one of the xenoblade games

[@connorj1165]

Wow, that's a lot of Switch 2 rumors but I think the one I'm most excited for is Kirby Planet Robobot coming to switch next year because okay, I'm so excited to see Kirby Planet Robobot getting an HD remake for Switch since I have not played this game since I don't have a 3DS, but if they're doing this, I don't think the side story mode for Susie could be her backstory, but I think it could be a post-game where after the events with Star Dream, Susie helps try to find Kirby's Robobot Armor Suit and bring it back to Kirby like I would like that for a post-game for Susie as well as adding her moveset from Star Allies. But I know that they are also gonna fix the cutscenes, so hopefully, they can use the Star Allies Design of King Dedede instead of the Triple and Robobot design of him and also the Club Penguin design, which I hope is not that design of King Dedede. And also where the heck is Triple Deluxe at? I mean it would be nice to see Triple Deluxe be with Planet Robobot cause then we would have a two pack Collection for it and then we would have all the Modern 2D Kirby games in one console and then we would be all complete and also we would have a new side story mode for Taranza as well. So I can't wait to play this game when it comes out next year and hopefully I'll beat Kirby's Return to Dreamland Deluxe 100% when it comes out.

[@fullstackweebdev]

There’s 2 possibilities: 1) Nintendo are gearing up for a second half of the year release and taking their time for a reveal. 2) Nintendo want a first half of the year release and are expecting a short reveal to launch timeframe to generate hype. I think it’s the former. I’d love to see it come out in March but I doubt it.

[@mannduro]

Let's hope it has a SD port, not microSD ...

Based on the information provided by a lot of KZbinr’s I have a crazy hunch that there is a possibility that Nintendo could reveal the switch 2 at the game awards and maybe release it in march at the end of the fiscal year Xbox did it to reveal of the series x almost the same way so it could be possible 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@MinishDude]

...Hasn't Samus Hunter been thoroughly debunked as a "bandwagon leaker"... pretty much anything they've said that was correct was already a mainstream rumor/leak, and they've gotten so many things wrong.

[@AndresRestart]

In prior years it was shaky as we’ve discussed. They have been the most spot on leaker this year however. Teased Xenoblade X, Emio, and the DK Direct. Pyoro and NTH have even agreed they have heard similar things.

[@mkjjoe]

[@johnserpo9267]

Nintendo already mentioned that they will launched Switch 2 with enough units to sell - there will be no scarcity like PS5 at launch. After seeing what the scalpers did to PS5, Nintendo is manufacturing the new console sooner and accumulating the stock before launching.

[@roseforyoubabe]

the pandemic causes shortages for ps5 no pandemic this time for switch 2

[@Redline1998766]

The likelihood of the Nintendo Switch 2 being announced at the Video Game Awards (VGAs) is extremely high, around 90-95%, based on several critical factors: 1. Historical Patterns: Nintendo has a track record of using a two-stage reveal process, as seen with the Switch 1 in 2016/2017. A teaser at the VGAs would be the perfect way to build anticipation for a full reveal event in January, aligning with their proven marketing strategies. 2. The VGAs' Global Reach: The VGAs are a massive platform with over 100 million viewers, making it an unparalleled opportunity to generate hype. A teaser at this event ensures maximum visibility across both casual and dedicated gaming audiences. 3. Economic and Logistical Pressures: With reports indicating that 7 million Switch 2 units are being prepared for launch, Nintendo cannot afford to delay. Early marketing is crucial to avoid inventory issues or a slow sales start. The VGAs provide the perfect timing to kickstart their campaign without impacting current Switch holiday sales. 4. Competition with Sony: Sony is ramping up its hardware plans, including the rumored PS5 Pro and new handhelds. Nintendo must act now to secure market attention and avoid losing momentum to competitors. 5. Metroid Prime and Beyond: A Switch 2 teaser could include a glimpse of Metroid Prime 4 or updates on Prime 2 & 3 remasters, further amplifying excitement. These games could serve as key selling points for the new console and appeal to both nostalgic and new fans. 6. Nintendo's Shift Away from Tradition: Nintendo no longer adheres strictly to conventional announcement timelines. The VGAs offer the perfect opportunity to surprise fans and leverage a massive audience in a way they haven’t done before. Delaying an announcement until January would significantly reduce the impact of the marketing campaign and risk missing the momentum that a VGAs reveal could generate. The stage is set, and all signs point to Nintendo making this move to secure a strong start for their next-gen console.

[@just__jt]

@@Redline1998766 Bro typed out a whole essay for a hypothetical in is head that will never happen. Nintendo doesn’t need the VGA’s if they want attention they can get it themselves.

[@ItApproaches]

No it's 0%. Nintendo isn't close with the VGA, they get snubbed a lot. Nintendo likes to have their own control.

[@TheRealChristmasWaluigi]

​@@ItApproachesNot 0% Its possible, but not likely

[@TheRealChristmasWaluigi]

Me personally, I just expect a little something, maybe a small Prime 4 trailer. Possibly prime 2 remastered

[@Redline1998766]

The likelihood of the Nintendo Switch 2 being announced at the VGAs is now remarkably high when we factor in all relevant information. Nintendo, under the leadership of a president who clearly values economic strategy and marketing innovation, must navigate the challenges of launching a product with the largest reported starting inventory in its history-7 million units. A president with this mindset is not just focused on creating a great product but also on ensuring that the market absorbs this massive quantity successfully. To achieve that, Nintendo must capture the attention of the widest possible audience, not just hardcore Nintendo fans. Historically, Nintendo has relied on its own platforms like Directs, but the market landscape has changed. Competing against Sony and Microsoft, who are adept at using high-visibility events, Nintendo must embrace new strategies. The VGAs are one of the biggest global stages for gaming announcements, offering exposure to tens of millions of viewers, including casual gamers and industry stakeholders alike. Announcing the Switch 2 at the VGAs aligns perfectly with this goal. It sets the stage for a full reveal event in January, creates maximum hype, and signals to investors and the public that Nintendo is confident, innovative, and forward-thinking. Not using this opportunity risks limiting their reach to their core audience, leaving casual gamers uninformed and reducing the console's potential impact.
