I don't think it's going to be a Direct.

If it is a full-on reveal event like they did for Switch 1, people would've leaked that they're going to Tokyo/Kyoto/<insert location here> by now, or not?

 

[Mozza]

I hate my logic here too, but I can't understand why Nintendo would hold out on showing and talking about their next generation hardware this long. I mean are they really only gonna give people 60 days to pre-order this device? Why only give people 60 days to talk about it and see it?

Seems odd to me.

We simply do not know anything concrete, and there have been so many leaks for so long now, Nintendo are just riding the hype train. But's let's be really honest here. The leaks and people that are actually interested in them are the core minorities who love this sort of thing. The mass majoruity of current Switch owners and potential ones will be unaware any of this has been going on or even being discussed. They will pretty much know about anything Switch 2 related when Nintendo actually announce it, or the Nintendo Switch home news button on the Switch console.

For sure it's going to be a Direct.

 

[RetroGamingUK]

What time was the original Switch reveal uploaded?

 

[Cyberpunkd]

No, because they are not revealing this thing in the next few days.

 

[mnkl13]

well it was indeed revealed by Genki, rumor was true.

People have been talking about Switch 2 for over a year.

Whats the problem with releasing the system three months after announcement?

Seems like exactly the type of thing Nintendo would do.

 

[TheKingOfSheep]

With at all the leaks, Nintendo should just pass on an official reveal and just randomly put it out on store shelves. The thing will sell no matter, anyways.

 

[AJUMP23]

I guess this was a lie.

 

[Tarin02543]

It’s now 2 days since the CES leaks and the absolute radio silence in Japan makes me believe everything we’ve seen so far is a smoke screen

 

[Lambogenie]

Sega should release anything. Sega does what Nintendont. At least there was Virtua Fighter concept at CES. Better than Nintendo already.

 

[Trilobit]

 

[LordOcidax]

They are just going to drop a trailer for the Switch 2 reveal.

Pure lie!

My uncle at Nintendo told me Trump will officially reveal the Switch 2 at his inaugural address.

[Moses85]

Damn, Nintendo must be getting pissed at Genki. LOL, or Nintendo is giving Genki permission to speak.

Sure…permission to speak and show their new Gold Donkey.

 

[GinSama]

Way too many threads open so I will use this one....

Any opinions about the kinda "miiverse" return?? Of course if the leaks are real....

But Nintendo is very aware of enthusiasts’s discourse on the internet.
Nintendo once took the time and effort to make a claymation of Reggie literally burning a fan alive amidst the audience for asking about a western release of Mother 3.
Their total radio silence facing leaks of this caliber is really puzzling.

Nintendo Japan did make a statement last night that the CES mock-ups are not « official ». (Duh)

All of the accessories can’t be fake, though.

 

[Robb]

They aren’t. It’s just a nothing statement. The only way it’d be official is if Nintendo themselves showed it.

If anything them not making a statement denying that the information that’s out is incorrect is basically confirmation that it’s mostly true.

They’re not denying that they are inaccurate or fake, just not official. An empty statement.

This actually exists?

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

I fully expect most the 3rd party titles to leak by next week. Even a couple of the BIG surprises.

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

We already know about Tekken, FIFA, and Red Dead 2.

REMEMBER, EVERY 3rd party character in Smash will have a game on Nintendo console.

Expect Fallout, expect Kingdom Hearts, and …I am looking at you…BANJO!!!

Take the obvious:

Mass Effect Trilogy
Star Wars
Madden/NBA 2k
Dragon Ball
Resident Evil 2-3/ Dead Rising
Sonic Racing
Persona
Monster Hunter??
Metal Gear?
COD
Super Street Fighter VI next holiday?
Something from Tecmo?
Launch window: Shinobi / Silk Song?

Something from Tecmo: Warriors or Nioh?


Personal Wish: PLEASE Bring a new Tecmo BOWL!

 

[Woopah]

They aren't fake, but they aren't official. All the.accessories shown are being designed and marketed by companies who don't work with Nintendo, so there isn't anything Nintendo can do.

This actually exists?

From Nintendo's E3 Direct back in 2014, when they included a bunch of skits made by Robot Chicken

They will be aware, but do they really care all that much.

It would appear Nintendo has silenced everyone for now. Will be interesting to see how this progresses.

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

What is everyone speculating the launch price is going to be? Let's say the ceiling?

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

We have seen speculation from $399 to $499; with most saying $399-$449

 

[Gamer79]

I am sick of these bullshit Journalist and their so called "leaks" I have heard about 10 different reveal dates for this thing. I think they are just throwing darts at a dartboard and eventually they will be right. You will hear from this point going forward a new "leak" of a reveal weekly. One person will guess it right and will act like they knew.

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

399 is what I'm thinking, considering historic Nintendo and that is on the high end (of historic Nintendo, I mean, not what should be expected). It's hard to me to imagine the price will be above that of Ps5. Suppose we'll see soon.

While I expect US to give the Gaming industry an exemption on tariffs, I do wonder if they will build the tariff price in. Just in case.

 

[March Climber]

I realized this the minute I looked at a calendar and noticed that the 8th was a Wednesday.

 

[Woopah]

With us being so close to launch, I don't think they can stop the leaks anymore.

 

[dorkimoe]

kinda a lot going on in the world right now. I imagine they are working on logistics/inventory.

 

[ultrazilla]

The leaker of the date of the PS5 Pro and Nintendo Alarm, published the announcement date of the Nintendo Switch 2The console will be revealed on January 17th with a launch on March 3rd. Along with this, the long-awaited Mario Kart 9, RDR2 and a trailer for a new 3D Mario.Retail price would be $400 in Canada

HUGE GRAINS OF SALT.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

HUGE GRAINS OF SALT.

Seems very likely

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

March 3rd would be amazing. I refuse to play Xenoblade Chronicles X on on the peasant Switch 1

 

[Woopah]

HUGE GRAINS OF SALT.

Price and launch date look off to me. Releasing on a Monday?

 

[MAtgS]

I have a sneaking hunch that Jan. 8 reveal isn't happening.

 

[bender]

Wouldn't be the first time Topher had a Cowboy in his pants.

 

[Hookshot]

Only 2 games? No wonder they haven’t had a show for it yet.

 

[kevboard]

HUGE GRAINS OF SALT.

March 3rd is the exact release date of the Switch 1.

if its 400 canadollars, that means it should be around $350 US right?

 

[ManaByte]

Nintendo releases everything on a Friday or Saturday. The first Switch was on a Friday as well.

It’s specifically done to not impact work and school.

 

[Buggy Loop]

$400 CAD would be good as fuck, that's cheaper than current switch OLED.

 

[ReyBrujo]

Only 2 games? No wonder they haven’t had a show for it yet.

Yeah, that's really fishy, it's like the N64 launch.
