I think if the console is really shipping with nothing new (according to Pyoro rumour and model leak), they would skip the reveal phase. They don’t have to worry about leaks as it’s just self-explanatory and the spec are boring. On the other hand, if they have some big surprise(I.e. noticeable new hardware feature they want to market), do not expect it to be leaked at least before a few days from the announcement.

NintenTalk has heard that January 23rd is the date of the first reveal or teaser. He heard it from one or more game developers from a major studio, and Nintendo gave them the date in order to time the marketing for their own Switch 2 software. The 23rd is 10 days after Donkey Kong and the only event near it is the inauguration on the 20th.

I think another boon for a january reveal is that the Superbowl is happening in early February. It's not something the Switch 2 is necessarily in dire need of, but if you're gonna have to reveal your console within the next three months anyway, it would be strange not to go for such an opportunity. January 8th feels too much like wishful thinking, it just so happens to be the very next date feasibly possible. It'd be nice, but we'll see.

Terrible idea, typical American that thinks their country is the center of the world. Guess what, kid: Super bowl ads are mostly just shown in the US, most international broadcasters show their own ads, and it's your usual boring stuff, nothing like the American ads. Secondly, Japan doesn't give a damn about American football, and that's Nintendo's second biggest market. In Nintendo's third biggest market, Europe, the Super Bowl half time show is like at 3 AM. That's why you don't see a lot of game ads in Super Bowl, because it's a global market, opposed to movies, where half of the revenue comes from the US alone. Thus, for them it makes sense to pay for a Super Bowl add.
@seedofwonder2 күн бұрын
I would love to see the data on how much of Nintendo's target audience actually watch the Superbowl. Yes, I understand that ads take on a life of their own, but I just don't think they have a game that justifies the expense. Though I personally have lost faith in them, companies like EA should purchase Superbowl ads. It would also be the perfect opportunity to reveal a GTA6 release date. Of all the gaming channels I follow, I suspect _maybe_ 10% would tune in for an event like the Superbowl.

I think your last video was spot on and the most likely. People are underestimating how much Nintendo wants to bring another 6-12 months of success to the switch and are willing to continue delaying a reveal for a system we probably know everything about anyway, to that end. I think aside from the deadline of their promise to show more information, they will continue to focus on switch 1 to hardcore fans frustration. Also I wouldn’t be surprised if there are features we simple wouldn’t be able to guess from seeing the leaked hardware. Regardless this is not an earth shattering new console concept. So they can push switch 1 and 2 and only se more games.

I think the reveal kinda has to be sometime in January in my mind, even if it's not the 8th. February doesn't have a game slated but we're likely gonna get a different kind of direct that month plus the Pokemon Presents, so that would be kinda overload. March is the latest we know they'd reveal it, but that's also the month a lot of rumorers are sticking by as the release (even though I kinda doubt it at this point), plus there's the same issue as Returns HD with Xenoblade X. April-June is when I think the launch will actually be, so revealing it in January and having a 4-6 month hype cycle just makes the most sense to me, even if they probably don't need that long for a stronger Switch.

if there is a switch 2 reveal in early january - US and EU most likely had to prepare translation already before their christmas break. And having a christmas break with the danger of someone is leaking those preparation work information - is not a risk Nintendo will take. So they start their engines on that in the new year. And that will take some days as well to be finished. So early january is unlikely in my opinion.

I think the supposed reveal for Switch 2 (the 3 minutes ad like Switch) is not gonna happen & they're going directly to make the announcment in Jan (like Jan 2017) with the release late March/April, since there's little to no reason for a reveal.. 2 reasons for cancelling the reveal & going striaght to announcement: - Switch 2 is just a more powerful hybrid, unlike the Switch which was innovative & very different from the WiiU so it needed to be shown to the public early as it was a new idea. - Nintendo's approach when it comes to the game announcements to release cycle generally changed since 2019 (after Furukawa became president), meaning they announce a new game & release it a month or 2 later, at worst no more than 6 months from announcement to release (except TotK) & sometimes they release it earlier (Xenoblade 3). I think your video is well thought out & I can see it happening more likely than my theory (which is wishful thinking from my side), still I think Nintendo releasing Switch 2 beyond Apr is too late. DKCR & XenoX both are ports that will sell on both systems regardless so even if the announcement is in early Jan it'll be fine I think 😁

Great analysis as always. Personally I still can't see the next genral direct being solely switch 1 focused. That is unless the switch 2 "event" you described preceeding it is a stunning event that shows lots of Switch 2 exclusives that will make the system a must buy. While Nintendo definitely don't want to kill switch 1 sales, or make owners feel like their console is obsolete, they also wouldn't want to muddy the waters. Announcing the switch 2 with not many games, and then during the next anticipated reveal event, revealing no new switch 2 games may leave audiences wondering if the launch lineup will actually be good. They may feel there might not be much incentive to purchase the Switch 2 if there aren't many exclusives for it. I feel like Nintendo wants people to know out of the gate, the Switch 2 is a must buy system with lots of exclusive games on the way and a few very soon. The definitely want switch 1 owners to still feel supported, but I feel like that will mostly be through ports and smaller titles, not something to kick off the year in a direct with.
@seedofwonder2 күн бұрын
The more I reflect on your recent videos, the more compelling I find the logic of an early Switch 1 Direct. If the Switch 2 is going to be backwards compatible, I don't think it would cannibalize game sales as much as people might assume. But until there is actual new hardware available, they would be foolish not to maintain a consistent release schedule of new/remastered software. As you say, not only would it alienate people who just purchased a Switch over the holidays, but it would also be leaving a lot of money on the table. I also feel a weird tension regarding the reveal and release of the new console. I'm a diehard Xenoblade fan. I logged about 500 hours in Xenoblade Chronicles X on Wii U. It was the sole reason I even bought the console, and I am still pleased with my Wii U purchase. But I have mixed feelings about the timing of the DE because I will want to savor the experience and not just rush through the base game to play the epilogue. In other words, Nintendo have given me an amazing gift, but one that will demand a significant time investment next year. So it's a shame it could not have been moved up to December 2024 (like XC3 moved from September to July). XCX needs more time to breathe than it appears it will get, and I worry how that might impact their support for the series.
@nintendoforecast2 күн бұрын
I felt the same with 2023 with the successive releases of Engage, Prime, Advance Wars, Zelda and Pikmin but ultimately this falls into a "good problem to have". They will always want a flow of games and actually XCX releasing at this point probably gives it more elbow room than if it released during a busier period. I think they know that XCX is a substantial enough release to tide them over for 5-6 weeks (they frequently don't put out an April game) and if the May/June games appeal to, probably, a different audience (e.g. a Kirby port, a casual title, Mario Baseball) it could be the biggest game of its type for a few months which is about as good a positioning as you can really wish for what is, ultimately, a port of a niche game. (Having said that, I'm really excited for X. Just starting XC3 and loving it so far.).
@seedofwonder2 күн бұрын
@nintendoforecast You are certainly correct that XCX is a niche title. I am so pleased with the level of excitement for the DE, which no doubt has been elevated by the much larger install base and how much the series has grown since 2015. I guess my real fear is that new hardware will drop and the active community will experience a mass exodus, but the Switch is so successful that my concern is probably unjustified. I sincerely hope you continue to enjoy your time with XC3.
@mr.goodboi27802 күн бұрын
This makes sense, dude. I'm very skeptical of anything but minor announcements on the 6th-10th, it's just still too close to the holidays and too early in the year. January is usually a pretty quiet month for most companies, even with Nintendo's out of the box weirdness. The 13th-17th obviously not like you said, due to DKCR HD. The 20th-24th and 27th-31st is wide open though, and if your theory is correct about it releasing in April it would have to be in that 2 week window. I will say though if we don't get anything by the end of January I don't think we're gonna get this thing until at least June. Because if they don't say anything before their investor's call I don't see them saying anything until the very last second in March and by that point they won't make a Q2 maybe even release. There are a few interesting routes this can take and I'm truly wondering how long Nintendo can make it's fanbase suffer before they'll finally cave because now we're just getting shit leaked, which is why I'm thinking that maybe this system will release sooner rather than later.

Imo a week after DKCRHD to a week before pokemon presents is the key spot so Jan 27-31st or Feb 10th-21st. I also think the investor briefing is a spot to look at not just obv for what it is, but because they've given Switch Successor news at every meeting (that's had a Q/A) so far. I wouldn't be surprised if the announcement tweet people are waiting for is something that is tweeted after the investor briefing. Also could be before investor meeting similar to how Alarmo was. This would also allow them to get it out before the Superbowl if that really does matter. February is looking empty rn so if there is a game i assume it releases in that time between the briefing and pokemon presents so that would put the reveal Jan 27th-31st. I could see them reveal so investors could ask questions then announce a Switch Direct right after which shadow drops a Feb game, possibly Metroid prime 2-3.

Would Nintendo shift its games to release outside, say, a three week margin of GTA6's release? Secondly, would Nintendo stand to lose much if GTA6 doesn't come to Switch 2? GTA6 is a system seller on its own and could greatly boost PS5 and XSX sales. Thirdly, what could Nintendo stand to gain. Would the people who would've otherwise bought the aforementioned consoles instead realize they could also play the game on the go and buy a Switch 2 instead?

I feel like this is what's going to happen, Nintendo is going to give us a codename for the next console by March or April 2025 to say yes a Switch successor is on the way but it'll come out in 2026, I'd say 2026 is more likely because of how Nintendo is going to want to piggyback off their success of what 2023 did. 2023 saw the release of the Super Mario Bros. movie from Illumination and Universal and how that film surpassed the first Frozen movie as the #1 animated movie of all time, June 2023, Nintendo announced Super Mario Bros. Wonder and that was the fastest selling Mario game because of the Super Mario Bros. movie according to Furukawa. now the Super Mario Bros. movie 2 might surpass Frozen II at the box office and if Nintendo sees that, that's when the next console will get announced and they might launch it with a 3D Mario game to make sure that the successor has a great launch for that year. The reason I think 2025 is unlikely as these leakers are saying is because it could a repeat of the Wii U's launch and I'm sure Nintendo has learned from the Wii U and wants to make sure that the Switch successor has a strong launch and sells well with that 3D Mario game plus F-Zero and Splatoon 4 at launch.

I predict: Announcement in March for 2026.

They’re not gonna announce it until March. And if that’s the case there’s no way this thing is coming out in the first half of the year. Holiday 2025 is the absolute soonest we should expect it

There is still a chance of it releasing earlier in the year. I'm pretty sure there was a leak that they've already got consoles being sent to warehouses. If this has actually been happening for the past few months then I can see the possibility of it releasing sometime in Spring. These are rumours so you could be right, but I doubt they're going to wait that long for an announcement as they have surely seen the countless amount of leaks happening and they would hopefully realise that it could get worse. All we can really do is wait 🤞🤞🤞.

@AidensHorrorHouse the info we have on the Switch 2's manufacturing and stockpiling isn't a rumor, that's pretty set in stone now. whether or not nintendo is fine with a couple of months worth of advertising is the question.

@@xAfroMetalHead1990x Its gonna be announced before April. Thinking it'll come out 9 months after being announced is.... not even a hot take, its just straight up not happening.

Man, your content is just total trash. The Switch 2 probably won't be revealed January 8th because there's not enough smoke and just because any specific date is unlikely, but DKCRHD is an extremely low budget remake outsourced to a shovelware dev. They do not care about this title and using that as your evidence sucks.

It was already revealed. We just haven't realized it yet.

Only reason switch 2 should release in 2025 is if theres some good 3rd party titles in the first 3 months otherwise they should push it more towards 2026 or 2027 The games need to take advantage of the hardware imo

Switch 2 is going to be announced in a general direct in febuary. It'll be the opener say it's backwards compatible and then go on to show games on switch 1 with zero switch 2 exclusives and an announcement of another direct in the future which will focus on the successor which is launching after the summer. The next direct the same month will be a Pokemon presents showing ZA and a tease at multiplat next gen which will be on switch and switch 2 with some bonuses on switch 2 mostly better processing.
