“It’s in poor taste to announce a console right after the holidays” I think it’s really funny that the holiday consumers are always the be-all end-all of Switch 2 rumours, we really went from “nothing in 2024 because we don’t want to scare away holiday sales” to “nothing in January because it’ll make holiday shoppers sad”

Holiday shoppers aren't going to care anyway. Why would you be upset if you waited until 2024 to buy a Switch? Even if you missed the part where they announced the successor this year, you'd surely know how late you are to the console and not be bothered.
@marblemadness852347 минут бұрын
The only thing worth marketing during the holidays are products that are being sold during the holiday. Common sense. Once the holiday is over it's free game. Nintendo said themselves they're not worried about cannibalizing holiday sales. For the exact reason given by those replying below or I guess above me now. I hate flip floppers. It's ruins the mood and ongoing content.

I can see a release in March. In 2016 I never would've believed they would do a turnaround of 4 months, but they did. Before that, everyone was saying they were running out of time, and the narrative started switching to "is the NX getting delayed". This time around, the fact that it's simply an iterative upgrade means they have even less to actually announce, aside from the games themselves. They don't really need to waste any time explaining what it is, the name explains it immediately; If it really is called the Switch 2, 2 months of commercials and ads showing the Switch logo with a massive 2 next to it, is all they really need.

I think it can still come out in March because this is an iterative system with a huge install base. It won't need a long marketing campaign to explain what the new concept is. If they're already building units they won't need several more months just to build inventory. But there is the Pax West event moving to May and the event Nate the Hate mentioned that could be related to Pax That gives me pause.

All of these Switch 2 rumors really reminds me of One piece theory makers. Since the series is so massive, people can make entire channels on just theorizing what can happen in the story. So, they just throw everything and the kitchen sink. Of course, some of them are really plausible and they do take the sail out of big reveals that do happen. And like One piece, to people following these Switch 2 leaks, it's gonna feel like they know so much already when we do get the official reveals because so much of these feel really plausible. That surprise factor is just gone because Nintendo waited too long. Of course, there is a small chance that all of these leaks and images are flat out wrong but that seems unlikely.

The thing is, we need Prime 2 and 3 Remaster to release first before we even get Prime 4- the reason is simple they need to grow the Metroid fan because the truth is it's big but it's not that big and that's mainly because of the absence of franchise has struggled the series and also why release a 4th title to players who never played the 2nd and 3rd it's not business smart the game could flop and not due to being bad just bad sales due to the fan base. I understand Metroid 5 was a success- that's the start, we just need 2 and 3 first, we will get Metroid in probably fall or winter of next year but not as a switch release it's a bad business move for new players as Nintendo will neither release all 3 games 2nd-3rd at once, it will take away from Prime 4 since their focus is on Prime 4 only and it's sales. That's facts

I don't believe in a March release either, but what information is suggesting is that several Nintendo Directs was put from September to August for an Switch 2 reveal was about to happen there in the end of summer but they got problem with the production line of the new console so it was postponed. So now it will most probably be announcement early january 2025 and then some month to release in May-June time more likely and that March is just outdated information.

If it releases in March, Xenoblade X wouldn't be the launch game. It's a Switch 1 title - backwards compatible yes, but it's Switch 1 software and that'll be what's on the box. There would be another game for the new console. Nintendo aren't above releasing multiple games in a month and February is vacant, so there's nothing preventing an early March launch for the console and it's marquee 1st party game followed by Xenoblade a few weeks later. I'm not saying March is the launch month, but there's no reason why Xenoblade would prevent it from being the launch month.

I’m excited for Christmas tomorrow and the Switch 2 next year with it’s games like 3D Mario, Mario Kart 9 or X, Luigi’s Mansion 4, Splatoon 4, the sequel to Kirby and the Forgotten Land, that fake leaked 2D Kirby Game Kirby and the Celestial Stars, a new Donkey Kong, a new Starfox, a new Smash Bros, and etc. And also as well as Mario’s 40th Anniversary. Also I do think it’s fake because I still think Switch 2 could happen in March 31st but I guess we’ll see what happens. But I know it makes sense because next year will be Kirby Planet Robobot’s 9th Anniversary but this year it was Kirby Triple Deluxe’s 10th Anniversary as well as Kirby’s 33rd Anniversary but I’m still not gonna buy Kirby Planet Robobot unless they add Kirby Triple Deluxe with Kirby Planet Robobot and make it a two-pack Collection so then we would have all the Modern Kirby Games in one console and that would make me happy if they did that. But yeah hopefully next year will be good for Nintendo and I hope you have a great Happy Holidays and a Merry Christmas AndresRestart.

I've had the money ready for it, almost for a year now....those who you say would find it in bad taste, weren't the people who would get a switch 2 at launch anyway.

I'll bet $50 that Switch 2 isn't launching in March. Anyone who is is willing to take me up on that, leave your reply for posterity. I'll pick a random person & give them $50 if I'm wrong. Hell, I'll throw in $25 extra if Switch 2 is revealed in January! Oh, and side note - there's no chance Xenoblade Chronicles X will be a Switch 2 title. They're porting to Switch because it's low effort & they don't have to invest much in improving performance or visuals. If it got a Switch 2 port, people would expect genuine enhancements. Nintendo's fine with letting it just be available through backwards compatibility.
