Nintendo will reportedly reveal Switch 2 this week

That’s according to the previously reliable Podcast Nate the Hate, which claims that a reveal trailer planned by Nintendo will focus on the Switch 2 hardware, with a software showcase coming later in late February or early March.

“I can share with you that Nintendo Switch 2 will be revealed in the coming week… I have been told Switch 2 will be revealed on Thursday, January 16… just a few days from now,” they said.

“I’ve heard that the reveal itself is going to focus almost exclusively on the console itself. There is not going to be any presence of games. There could be a game shown running on the screen, depending on how the trailer is put together, but software is not going to be a focus.”

The two-part reveal plan would align with how Nintendo showed the original Nintendo Switch, and match with what VGC has been told about Nintendo’s plans for the Switch 2 reveal.

Well that was underwhelming. They're having a Direct in April to go over more info. Wasn't that supposed to be this video lol?

 

[NHawk19]

That seems like they were rushing something out to get ahead of the leaks.

Tbf, I think this was always the plan to release this specific video at this time. If they are indeed planning on releasing this in the summer, this would be around the time to release something official. I just don't think they accounted for the leaks, which at least in my case ruined the excitement a bit.

Looks like we have a new Mario Kart?

 

[Havok83]

I havent owned a Nintendo console since the SNES but actually considering this. It being backwards compatible is a big reason for that

 

[Lily Adler]

I feel like the Switch announcement trailer was more cinematic?

Where's the rooftop parties Nintendo?

It does concern me that they don't have the IPs needed for a successful launch. Switch had Mario Kart, Zelda, and Mario all in the same year.

 

[Sithborg]

We did see a potential Mario Kart. With an implication of a 24 man race. The Odyssey team has been quiet for quite some time. Yeah, no mainline Zelda. But you don't need to go all out in the first year. I think a new Fire Emblem is also on deck. Monoliftsoft also has something cooking.
