Switch 2 Rumor Roundup - Case Leak, New Footage & Release Date + Price

[@crocodude]

With amount of times Nintendo have brought it up in tweets, I’m kinda getting used to the console just being called ‘The Nintendo Switch Successor’

[@adam145]

SwitchSucc, mark my words!

[@amadeus.7436]

Nintendo Successor, it doesn't sound too bad tbh

[@kyurei4478]

Still better than "Switch 2" honestly. I tend to think it's the same deal for the "Switch 2" name. We called it this way for so long that some people are just used to the console being called this way at this point. That couldn't equal an actual official name though.

[@starsroof_1633]

@@kyurei4478same happened to “ nintendo revolution “ and “ zelda wii u “ , then the official names gets revealed , sounds weird at first, and we get used to it.

[@JoshTheWoz]

Lmao that would be a funny as the full name

[@Dionaea_floridensis]

generally if a Japanese company says "we're going to reveal it by the end of the fiscal year" they do in fact mean the very end of the fiscal year

[@Hundo_Mo]

As a parent I’d appreciate if the console did come out in June so my kids dont become obsessed with their new game console in the middle of the school year 😅

[@Tonjit41]

happy = bad

[@Dominicn123]

Lol nah that'd be perfect for middle of the school year, like how the switch was at launch, because things are always dry on the software side at launch, the drought would improve after a few months at least, giving you time for them to become obsessed during summer and holiday breaks lol

[@mr.cringe61]

June would perfectly fit because that’s where my birthday is. This year I got the Direct with Mario and Luigi that day, next year the next Gen in the same month? Doesn’t sound too bad to me.

[@RakastanPorkkanakakkua]

"Rumor Roundup", is the only rumor-type video I would stand watching. I can't stand how every rumor fart by some bloke on Twitter becomes 30 clickbait videos on it with the title "SWITCH 2 IS HERE AND NOW, RELEASING TOMORROW?!?" Keep em' comming.

[@kenji6492]

Honestly please talk about the + button. Nintendo is the only console maker that replaced Start / Select with something snappy, appealing, instantly recognizable and EASY TO SAY

[@kakashishinoda]

The Low quality video can be explained very easily, you are not allowed to have cell phone with you, I noticed this from somebody who works with company secrets in manufacturing. What an old mid 2000 camera phone is so small, like a flip phone that you can hide it easily. I’m with just one mega pixel cameras were this blurry. And because their network doesn’t work anymore, they probably cannot see if you’re having one with you.

[@5stepsmusic]

I wouldn't even say it's a phone camera at all. There are these low quality mini / micro cameras you can find on AliExpress and the like which would totally fit this quality and the fact they're so small makes them infinitely more easy to smuggle in and out than a whole phone.

[@michaellvoltare]

Literally mentioned in the video

[@McCheeseincakes]

That, or some factory worker in China doesn't have the greatest cell phone camera, also not a shocking revelation.

[@retroray6836]

Maybe out of focus and bad cameras are a security measure against "the ninjas"?

[@davidfc7136]

I was thinking the same thing, they probably don’t want Nintendo knocking on their door lol.

[@manuel0578]

They are using button or pen cameras

[@MatrixEvolution17]

Those logos are definitely just mockups, even the original Switch didn't have its final logo in the reveal trailer.

[@erikshaw7]

Nintendo weren’t kidding when they said they wanted the Switch to last for a decade

[@DailyPoStManX]

Your videos are goated innit

[@lol-ih1tl]

Switch 2 is a separate console.

[@PolitiClank]

​@@lol-ih1tlEven still, a two year cross gen period would completely support a ten year lifespan.

[@lol-ih1tl]

@PolitiClank if you want to get more technical, Switch 1 will continue receiving new games in the first two years of Switch 2 (mostly re-releases and side games) with the final first-party Switch 1 game releasing close to Switch 2's 2nd anniversary and it'll be discontinued around Switch 2's 3rd anniversary.

[@mr.cringe61]

And still people are only surprised now. We’ve known this for years now.

[@Typi]

In a ideal world, the Switch 2 would be called the "Switch Up." Get it? Its a double entendre. It's a pun, but also short for "Switch Uprade", implying a direct upgrade from the original Switch, and it's memorable.

[@bananachild1936]

A january tease would be plausible. Followed by trickles of more infos, and then a June or August release date.

[@Ricar2002YT]

Funny bot comments, glad to see youtube is still terrible

[@TheFrostedfirefly]

Even worse than that, the comments are AI bots now, so rather than being able to immediately tell that it's a bot spamming, it's just a generic rando saying something vague that COULD be about the video, but aren't actually saying anything insightful or specific enough ABOUT the video.

[@sambajane]

Your comments are always so original and interesting

[@Poever]

But it’s true, GVG does have creativity and diligence 😂

[@Ricar2002YT]

TheFrostedfirefly Yeah... quite annoying

[@leftygurl]

honestly i think that horribly blurry video is real, i know from toy industry leaks that sometimes leakers will actively obscure products, presumably as a way of not getting caught somehow, especially when they’re trying to sell off stolen prerelease samples from the factory. it’s pretty in line with that to show off something obscured in hopes that the buyer will know what it is but not the factory they’ve yoinked it from.

[@elweondelasweas836]

Just a reminder that this is kinda how the Switch Lite was leak so it's anyways a 50% real and other 50% fake because it's taking a "leak" that in the past worked.

[@hellsapoppin9326]

Should've called it the 'Super Switcheroo'

[@Caolan114]

In the 90s every game console according to moms was a "Nintendo" I fell Into the habit of calling the Wii U the Wii and the 3DS the DS when talking to non gamers I hope the Switch 2 Isn't the actual name but then again 2 Is not as confusing as U It works for PlayStation and they are probably the biggest game company now noone ever confused a PS3 with a PS4

[@Artista_Frustrado]

honestly it makes sense they are waiting till next Fiscal year, 1 that way they don't hurt any potential Switch 1 Holiday sales, & 2 that way they can just start impressing the Shareholders

[@HandsomeBaconBoi]

I know this is super random, But should I return my oled Nintendo switch to wait for the switch 2, I haven’t opened it yet because of that.

[@user-jt1jv8vl9r]

Who else here would probably end up playing their current Switch library on a Switch 2: I have so many unfinished or un-started games? (Roughly 200 digital games on a 1TB card). I want for my current Switch library: 1080p on handheld, better/more stable frame rates, bigger OLED screen, faster WIFI and improved Bluetooth, quicker loading times. Some nice updates to current games to be played on SW2: small fee perhaps!? Then of course SW2 only games.

[@Swiftjar]

Thanks for the round up fellas

[@thespeedyyoshi]

I think Nintendo Switch 2 is the perfect name for the console. Nintendo needs to communicate that this console is the sequel, pure and simple. That being said…SURELY they’ll change the logo a little bit?? That’s gotta be a placeholder logo. It’s so boring 😅

[@MystifiedBeef]

Exactly after everything that happened with the Wii U they have to stop making the name of their systems a wordplay or something like that. Going with the most safe and boring name is the best decision that they can make.

[@teo9532]

I’ll still hold out hope for “Super Nintendo Switch” being the name

[@DarionNexus]

Usually yeah when you're under NDA you can't take photos video or talk about it. I'm under nda for new tech so if you can get footage then you're usually a paid tester on location w proctored usage. Unless they walk out of the room and there's 10 of us in the room. So yes it's either going to be shitty footage or fake.

[@AdfasSSBM]

The biggest sign that some of these rumors are copycats is that we have only seen the white joycons. It's not too surprising that white may be the generic color, but red and blue also came alongside the gray joycons.

[@SOREI]

I personally think it's either we hear about an OLED model day one or it's a bust for OLED, I don't know if Nintendo would wait to announce an OLED model when it comes to Switch 2 considering we already have a Switch 1 OLED.

[@dannyboots]

Wii U Mentioned

[@joejoe2658]

OLED HDR AND ADAPTIVE TRIGGERS.

[@laneplain107]

i wish

[@Gfreak250]

If they redesigned the dock to be smaller and the mechanism for it to be faster than the current Switch, I feel like the name Nintendo Snap would be perfect. The advertising writes itself; "Play games in a Snap" "Connect with friends in a Snap" "Take your games on-the-go in a Snap"

[@MrMartDK]

No way they go away from the Switch brand tho, at this point it's almost as strong as Nintendo itself.

[@user-io9hj9ip2d]

only the "play games in a snap" sounds natural since it's an existing saying, the other two sound really unnatural.

[@OhYeeeeaaahhhh]

great video, thx for getting straight to the point and not bloviating around every detail

[@jelly063]

I really want to see Jon talking about every button and its purpose. Except the L button, that's Scott's job.

[@JitterBob]

Why aren’t more people talking about the possibility of calling it the “New” Nintendo Switch. I know a lot of people hate it but Nintendo has done it a bunch of times.

[@MxBeccas]

Still stand by Super Switch being the best option I’ll begrudgingly admit switch 2 makes the most sense great vid fellas

[@WhyYouWahYoo]

Hey guys I have some info for you all. Please don’t go posting this all over or my dad will get fired: -The Switch 2 will come in either “piss yellow” (official name) or “ketchup red” (official name) -“Nintendogs + Weasels” will be the tentpole launch title -it will cost $669.69 -Nintendo has vowed to never make a Pokemon game on the console. Something about “punishing the fans for Palworld”

[@adamjones1951]

I always get excited for GVG uploads. Keep up the good work guys!

[@ThisSteveGuy]

The problem with the video is they weren't pressing the Joycon release button when separating them from the console. The way they're holding them is all wrong.

[@julicane2975]

It looks real to me. Especially with the news and leaks ramping up.

[@CarbonMalite]

Nintendo doesn't make consoles that look the exact same. You could tell even the DS/3DS apart at a glance.

[@kurikuraconkuritas]

but still, they are super similar

[@lol-ih1tl]

maybe the dock will be different.

[@ErrrrkTheOdd]

the pocket, light, and color actually do look very similar.

[@markusszelbracikowski956]

It would be so funny if they brought back the glasses-free 3D and called it the Nintendo 3D Switch or something 🤣

[@Joker-fj8hg]

I won’t get a Switch 2 at launch because I got mine pretty late, but with naked eye 3D? Shut up and take my money

[@Baiano29]

The "hidden camera" hypothesis that could explain the low quality of the video. I have one and yeah, it's very shit.

[@DanielHarris171]

I can see it being possible for there to be a “Switch Lite” skew that’s smaller and maybe all digital like with the Series S.

[@stephkm3655]

Why all digital?? To save space and or money?? Have you noticed the size and price difference between an Ultra HD Blu ray disc reader and a small basic cartridge reader??? A stationnary console using disc actually make sense for a size and price view for going all digital. It doesnt make any sense for a handheld machine using cartridges.

[@GamerFunOriginallyAarush]

Just please reveal the Switch 2 soon!

[@sebusiek]

Is Switch 2 going to get „blue light filter”? As it’s missing in Switch 1 from unknown reason 🤔🤔🤔

[@emayzd]

Switch 2. Please come with some Mobapad 6HD style of Joycons

[@gab6439]

At this point i just don’t believe any Switch 2’s Rumors/Leaks because they could just get debunked in a few hours, i’m just waiting for Nintendo to officially announce it. For Metroid Prime 4 Beyond, i don’t think they’re gonna wait until spring next year to give us more info since they revealed it in June and that would make no sense to wait that long for more information. I feel like we gonna get more info soon since the Game Awards is around the corner and i can definitely see Nintendo reveal Metroid Prime 2 Remastered alongside Metroid Prime 4 Beyond getting a new trailer with a release date

[@HylianSysadmin]

New Nintendo Switch XL

[@LagoonKnight]

Hopefully Switch 2 is not another Wii U.

[@Rhubarb120]

Although I think the joycon leaks are real, I *really* hope they are fake. I have enough trouble trying to hold the original joycons, and that giant trigger on the back means even less room to hold it, especially if it is just for something a simple button can do if the leaks are true and it is for releasing the grip. Also, a second IR camera when the switch barely even used the one it had means these will cost a fortune.

[@tobiasarevalo9929]

I can't believe they're still using joycons

[@ReidMakin-f9g]

The switch 2 cow has been milked to skin and bones at this point

[@Joker-fj8hg]

To rumour spreaders and leakers, not at all

[@rainbowplane24]

I personally really dislike the fact it's getting bigger... It's already quite bulky to take along with you and it's only gonna be worse. Kinda defeats the point of a handheld at this point

[@continental_consumer]

Yeah but it's a hybrid. It makes sense to have the screen be massive so theres less difference between handheld and tv. Besides, a lite model will probably be released thats 2-3 inches smaller.

[@rainbowplane24]

@@continental_consumer To me a hybrid would mean that it's properly usable in both states, and I doubt anyone would reasonably expect the handheld screen to be the same as their tv. At this point it just seems wasteful to even have a screen on it if it's almost as good as a tv anyways, and isn't that portable. Just make a home console at that point

[@scrunkore]

the switch is actually one of the smallest systems of its kind, steam deck is absolutely massive in comparison

[@rainbowplane24]

@@scrunkore Yeah true, I would never get one of those cause of it. I guess the technology isnt full there yet to get the graphics people want on anything smaller/lighter

[@Dionaea_floridensis]

Still expecting March reveal and September release

[@littlebee7147]

I'm expecting Odyssey 2 as a launch title to showcase more controller features. They did give Ubisoft advice on sequels when Sparks of Hope didn't do as good as the first game. Plus, with all the Palworld stuff, I'm guessing their follow up is a Pokemon game for November 2025 with multiplayer (and expanded features launching Winter 2026)

[@Joeynator3000]

Yeah that video, I don't trust it either...the name, I dunno...I feel like it won't be Switch 2, but something similar. Super Switch, Switch U, something like that will probably be likely knowing Nintendo. lol

[@nicholasvernacchio2292]

does anyone know what the song they use in the end half of the video is from?

[@onigiri_san6546]

400€ si too much. The succes of the Switch has a lot to do with the fact that it is relatively cheap compared to Sony’s and Microsoft’s offering. They tried to rise the prices with the launch of the 3ds and it was a disaster. I hope it is not more than 350€, at least for a base model. I could see them releasing a pro or oled model down the line for more money.

[@stephkm3655]

Price to perceived value. 3DS launch price was high because its perceived value didnt justify the price. A 400$ or even 450$ Switch 2 with what we know about the console is completely reasonnable. Also why would they price their next gen machine the same as the Switch OLED? How does that make any sense? Especially when the latter has been the best selling Switch model since it released.

[@sojourner4726]

€400 it dang well better have oled.

[@greenmoblin3114]

Please stop adding Super to anything for console names I highly doubt Nintendo or any modern big tech company is gonna use that kind of name again it’s not the 90’s anymore 😭

[@Safetyman64]

[@TheOriginalKnottian]

Tell me you’ve never been in a secure site/SCIF without telling me… the whole rant about the quality and how “quick” they move away from the unit is literally all explained logically by the fact that it’s a secure area of whatever factory these are assembled at. Their supply chain is too large at this point to pretend these recent leaks aren’t real, especially if you follow anything related to Apple - they’re just as secretive as Nintendo and everything of theirs leaks legitimately too.

[@johnlai4129]
