Yeah, it’s getting annoying. People have been crying “Switch 2??!!” Since like a year after the Switch launched. Arlo constantly taking the bait of these rumors is annoying, especially when he could be doing more productive things like _getting some rest._

I had a dream last night that the new console was not a switch two, and it was instead just a big I phone called the Nintendo Touch. The gimmick of the console was literally just that there’s no controller, and you have to tap the screen to do anything. It wasn’t even like there were mobile game controls, it was just all point and click. It was a hideous black box like the Wii U game pad, but like a box, and nothing on it but a screen. It was actually like a small microwave. The launch title was Hotel Mario 2. I’m not joking. I genuinely had this dream and thought it was real when I woke up. Scariest nightmare I’ve ever had.
We know why you really are not on camera recently... Arlo molting season. Shed your dry husk and emerge as a gooey, but stunningly blue, New Arlo. Gooey, bluey, and new...ish.
3:34 Nintendo rarely gives 2 day noticed for Directs anymore. For the Switch reveal, they announced it the night before. Safe thing is to expect an announcement Wednesday night, though sooner would be a nice surprise.
Arlo literally has been the worst at predicting this stuff and now he throws a fit acting like Nate is guessing when he has never gotten direct dates wrong. He literally was the first to reveal Nintendo music too.
I feel like the phrase "take it with a grain of salt" has run its course at this point. By now, I've heard it so much that I cold fill a bathtub with all those grains of salt.

That's why I don't like people being like "The nintendo switch WILL reveal on thursday!" LIke it's a rumor, a rumor from a credible leaker yes but there have been times in the past where "credible leakers" have been totally wrong so we should all have at least a little grain of salt with this rumor, because if it doesn't come out on thursday or this week people are gonna be dissapointed as hell because they put all their faith in some random joe

But Nate didn't just say "I hear it's Thursday," he just straight up said it IS happening Thursday. Not just a hint or a maybe or "take this with a grain of salt" or "rumors are saying end of the month' etc. He just straight up said "I can announce that it's going to be revealed Thursday." It's very different than all these other people throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks.
@gomerjomer9209 nate's track record is basically immaculate on anything he's said with confidence over the course of like 6 years now at this point, even things that weren't in directs show up later as shadow drops. Even Jeff Grubb (who has the highest track record) has said Nate knows what he's talking about and trusts what he says. It's been corroborated also by The Verge (Tom Warren), VGC and others now also. Very likely Thursday.
@ “very likely” that’s what I’m saying, however still take it with a grain of salt. It’s okay to be hopeful but No one is right 100% of the time. And if you go in thinking it’s 100% going to be announce on that day there is a chance it won’t and you will get very disappointed.

Arlo is just being a little bitch cause he’s mad that a reputable leaker knows more than he does. He’s acting like Nate is making it up and saying oh anyone could’ve guessed this week.

I agree. I'm not worshipping the guy or anything, and I know he can be wrong, that's just the nature of this stuff. He's had some big misses recently, mainly with the Switch 2 not releasing last year, but I think it's pretty clear there was some kind of delay. But when it comes to dates for presentations in the coming week, his track record has been flawless as far as I can remember for the past 10 odd years or however long it's been. Also, the context matters a lot here: in the podcast, he was extremely direct and upfront about it, no uncertainty whatsoever. But more than that, it's been corroborated by Eurogamer.
This. When MVG questioned it he didn't falter. He doubled down and said it could even be Friday for some folks due to time zone shenanigans. He seems extremely confident (having listened to his podcast). I think it may *finally* be happening.
@Cheesehead302 I agree. He sounded *so* confident. He must have gotten some very damning news or have *some* kind of evidence presented to him. I can't help but wonder what!
12:04 - I've heard a good amount of people say that the Booster Course Pass DLC was probably meant for training their developers in time to make the next game for new hardware as good as possible and speed up development. I think it kinda makes sense when you consider how the quality kept going up wave after wave, seemingly at random. It gives off more of the vibe of a bunch of students having fun adding stuff to a project as they get more comfortable with it rather than a firm plan set in place from the start. I mean, think about the way it all played out: Wave 1 with mostly basic courses Waves ~2-4 getting way better as well as fixing stuff like Coconut Mall along with new characters being added starting with Wave 4 Final waves with more characters than what they promised, additional Mii costumes, a music player, a new credits sequence which you could even see by just playing the tracks online for some reason, as well as just having some of the best looking and playing courses from not just the DLC, but the entire game.
tbh zelda btow was amazing but I don't this is the game that made the switch so popular at launch, I think it was mario kart. And I wouldn't be surprised if the dlc pack we got for mk8 was a way to train a new team to build mk9 for the switch2. I would not be surprised if we get mk9 in 2025.
the switch was revealed eight years ago. Furukawa took over as CEO as well as Doug Bowser for NOA. Not to mention a lot of the Switch's concept was headed by the late Iwata. This is not to say strategy has changed just because leadership has, but I do think that's enough reason to expect a different approach this time around.
The instant the Switch 2 reveal is over, we can all start keeping our eyes peeled for the next Smash teaser. It's gonna come outta nowhere, just like the Smash Ultimate teaser. They're gonna show what appears to be some Mario sparts game, then Waluigi is gonna look into the sky and the Smash logo will be reflected in his eyes! That's my wish.
It's gonna be smash ultimate plus HD2 or something. And I'd be fine with that. Just nerf Steve and give us better online, game is set for another 5-6 years.
Nate is not just Nate...Pyoro also backed him up. Y'all be getting too anxious over this stuff. When there's smoke there's fire and there's a LOT of smoke.
@@bingbong9076 that's just a stupid and dismissive statement though dude. "leakers" which leakers? has Nate, who is incredibly reliable with dates ever given a specific day and date before when it comes to this being revealed? No, he hasn't. Because he's more reliable than most random internet leakers.
He always does this. He doesn't know what's going on and rambles for 20 minutes giving the most wishy washy opinion possible. It's growing annoying more recently.
@@diamondleo5136 I did. I stopped halfway because his videos are fluff. Like what even is the takeaway from this video? His opinion is so vapid because it revolves around “oh it could happen or it won’t happen”. And he doesn’t even try to intellectually try to discuss it either like Nintendo forecast. It’s just grumbling about a leaker knowing more than him.
Mario Kart makes a lot of sense to me at launch, it’s their broadest appeal franchise and it’s been SO long. Most the DLC didn’t freshly come out and presumably they have some hook for the next entry that’ll draw people in Launch year at least, but I think it makes sense for launch day
How many times can he go "who is this Nate the Hate guy anyways" before he actually looks into him and realizes why it actually means something when he says somethhing
Because Nintendo’s social media post said by Mar 31st, I’m expecting it to be around that time since they’ve been taking so long. I genuinely hope they reveal some launch titles, cuz that’ll determine if people (like myself) will buy.
Arlo you are definitely discounting Nate here for no reason, he absolutely has sources. There would absolutely be a difference between him saying it and if you just started confidently started saying it lol
I don't really have a problem with Arlo being overly cautious here, you know, with the nature of this stuff. Not everything can be 100 percent all of the time. But I think it would be nice if in the future there was a discussion actually bringing up the track record so people can decide for themselves how much stock to put into it. I'm not saying we need a deep dive for every single leak, but it would be nice if more context was presented here. Exactly what was said, and the kind of stuff he has previously called over the years. At the very least, I think it would be beneficial to provide the source in the description so that people who aren't as terminally online as the rest of us can look into it more easily if they want, or at least have a more full quote of what was actually said. Maybe go a bit deeper into it than just the title of an article showing the general idea of what happened, and look into why a source is or isn't trusted. Again, I'm not hating on Arlo, these are just some suggestions that I think could improve this type of content. Also, yeah I thought that particular comment was weird. It's like, yeah I think it would be stupid if I got online and started saying "Switch 2 this week, everybody!" because I have no source and no history of having a source with Nintendo, so why would anybody believe me? But if I'm a person who has been accurately leak specific stuff relating to Nintendo for the last ten years, then it's like, uh yeah maybe pay more attention to me then the average person claiming nonsense lol. I mean, I'm pretty sure the most recent think this guy claimed was by name an insanely specific Hello Kitty game being shown in an upcoming Nintendo Direct. But I guess it's impossible to tell if he has connections, must've just been a lucky guess that anyone could've called. But whatever, it's not super serious, it's supposed to be fun after all. It's just, I've never liked the idea of "rumors/leakers" just being one big entity that are all working together, it's like, nah, they all have separate track records and levels of trustworthiness.
@@Cheesehead302 The issue is Arlo is talking like he discovered who Nate was yesterday and is neglecting is years of correct leaks with a pretty good track record. It comes off as a bit petty to try and undermine his credibility by calling Nate "some guy" when the only guy is Arlo who has absolutely zero sources.
Inb4 Nintendo still doesn't announce the switch 2 this week.... and it ends up getting announced late march, right before the date they said it will announced by passes by.
i'm in that boat too. i'm trying to not worry about saving games for later anymore since i need to clear my backlog to make room for the new library of games for the new console.
Yes. Especially for games and Directs. So he easily could be spot on for this. We should know if they make an announcement for a presentation in the next day or so.
Nintendo should just post a white 2 on a red background today, the marketing would go crazy. And then tomorrow do the same with a 1 so it's actually a countdown. Cinema.
Staring at the TopicArlo youtube channel, eyes stinging with sweat pouring from my glistening forehead, waiting with baited breath for the promised further Arlo Switch 2 Reveal Speculation™. My finger hurts from spamming refresh page. "You want to control people? Tell them a messiah will come, They'll wait for centuries." Eagerly I await the return of the puppet from the outer world.
Please let it be this week so the internet can get over Switch 2 announcement rumors and move on to anything else, like Switch 2 game rumors or something just literally anything else
Mariokart is probably Nintendo's biggest system seller, but I don't think it works great as a launch title. I think a big single player game like BotW or Mario 64 would be better since it would be better to show off a big new game that showcases the hardware for the day one buyers to sink countless hours into themselves. Plus multiplayer games are difficult for new consoles since they likely won't be able to play with many friends online or with local wireless since no one else will have the console yet, and even in couch multiplayer they probably won't have multiple controllers yet to let many play it. Tldr: I think they should get a big single player game for the core audience to let the system stand on its own. Then let it run with a mariokart a few months down the line to draw in the bigger crowd of casual fans.
@@lol-ih1tl Holy shit thank god you are not in a marketing department. You're basically saying just coast and release shit titles for 2 years then drop them all at once.
I have big Nintendo connections and can confirm it will not be happening on Thursday. It's been delayed due to be being cancelled, they're now moving onto the Switch 3.
Nate gave more than just the date, he also discussed the manner of the announcement. Moreover, he had expressed that he didn't think said manner (bare-bones tech reveal, no game teases) made sense the way he heard it. It was a lot more specific than just "state your forecast with confidence".
if it was going to be announced on thursday, would they not give a day-prior heads-up like they usually do? i have seen no such thing, yet... not to mention DKCRHD comes out that day, and unveiling an entire new system right then would kind of be a ridiculously stupid move.
It's been a year since the last wave of the Mario kart 8 dx booster course pass dlc came out. That's enough of a gap for a brand new mario kart title to be released, especially since it's literally been over 10 years now since the og Mk 8 came out on the Wii U.
This week does make sense, but I think Nintendo might want to postpone this thing to next week, considering the LA wildfires AND a major earthquake in Miyazaki
Literally Nintendo does not care whats going on in the US save for a national tragedy or nuclear war. There is always something going on that cause a delay. And the earthquake is minimal if anything considering they lifted the tsunami alert within hours.
The Sony Switch 2. No cartridge port. You can buy one separately that plugs into the USB C. Dock and controllers sold separately. 30 fps with AI interlacing for 4k high graphics. Or 60 fps with AI interlacing to get either 2k high, or 4k with low settings. No new games. But there'll be a Mario Odyssey remastered remake for it next year. Starting price $599.99 USD
Can’t wait for it to be announced so we can finally put it to rest and get started on switch 3 rumors.

12:04 - I've heard a good amount of people say that the Booster Course Pass DLC was probably meant for training their developers in time to make the next game for new hardware as good as possible and speed up development. I think it kinda makes sense when you consider how the quality kept going up wave after wave, seemingly at random. It gives off more of the vibe of a bunch of students having fun adding stuff to a project as they get more comfortable with it rather than a firm plan set in place from the start.
I mean, think about the way it all played out:
Wave 1 with mostly basic courses
Waves ~2-4 getting way better as well as fixing stuff like Coconut Mall along with new characters being added starting with Wave 4
Final waves with more characters than what they promised, additional Mii costumes, a music player, a new credits sequence which you could even see by just playing the tracks online for some reason, as well as just having some of the best looking and playing courses from not just the DLC, but the entire game.
I can't wait to see 5 seconds of Mario Kart 9.
It'll be 5 seconds of what looks like MK8 Deluxe but with new characters.
Introducing: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Special Edition
@@RacingSnails648 more years of mk8 🔥
@@RacingSnails64 mario kart 8 ultra deluxe
tbh zelda btow was amazing but I don't this is the game that made the switch so popular at launch, I think it was mario kart.
And I wouldn't be surprised if the dlc pack we got for mk8 was a way to train a new team to build mk9 for the switch2.
I would not be surprised if we get mk9 in 2025.
You're giving a dangerous amount of credence to the idea something even that interesting is going to happen.
the switch was revealed eight years ago. Furukawa took over as CEO as well as Doug Bowser for NOA. Not to mention a lot of the Switch's concept was headed by the late Iwata. This is not to say strategy has changed just because leadership has, but I do think that's enough reason to expect a different approach this time around.
were in the end game now...
Having Halo on Switch is like having Sonic Adventure 2 on Gamecube, it's unprecedented and insane before it isn't.
Arlo making a video where he's not dying of bronchitis? Must be good gamer vibes going around for sure
The instant the Switch 2 reveal is over, we can all start keeping our eyes peeled for the next Smash teaser. It's gonna come outta nowhere, just like the Smash Ultimate teaser. They're gonna show what appears to be some Mario sparts game, then Waluigi is gonna look into the sky and the Smash logo will be reflected in his eyes! That's my wish.
It's gonna be smash ultimate plus HD2 or something. And I'd be fine with that. Just nerf Steve and give us better online, game is set for another 5-6 years.
It feels like the wait has been so long that even when it's revealed it won't feel revealed 😂
The most truth lol god
Nate is not just Nate...Pyoro also backed him up. Y'all be getting too anxious over this stuff. When there's smoke there's fire and there's a LOT of smoke.
It's being corroborated by multiple news outlets as well, and Kit & Krysta just backed it, too.
Heared that last year
Nice try Ryan
"THIS WEEK FOR SURE THIS TIME" - Said every week for the last two years by leakers
@@bingbong9076 that's just a stupid and dismissive statement though dude. "leakers" which leakers? has Nate, who is incredibly reliable with dates ever given a specific day and date before when it comes to this being revealed? No, he hasn't. Because he's more reliable than most random internet leakers.
So We will probably get our "dream" switch 2 but the switch 3 will be a toaster that can play games
1:46 not canceling your swing to save weapon durability? tsk tsk tsk cant be doing that arlo, CMON 🗣️🗣️🗣️
IKR
😂😂
my god he was right
Arlo, how many times are you going to say “who is Nate the Hate? Just some guy?” before you look into him?
He always does this. He doesn't know what's going on and rambles for 20 minutes giving the most wishy washy opinion possible. It's growing annoying more recently.
@@Mirage475 Then stop watching his video.
@@diamondleo5136he's a public figure he can be criticized
@@diamondleo5136 I did. I stopped halfway because his videos are fluff. Like what even is the takeaway from this video? His opinion is so vapid because it revolves around “oh it could happen or it won’t happen”. And he doesn’t even try to intellectually try to discuss it either like Nintendo forecast. It’s just grumbling about a leaker knowing more than him.
Generally if Nate says something, it’s almost always accurate.
Nate isn't just a guy lol he's usually spot on when he calls something
Nate will collapse his credibility if this rumor is inaccurate.
It will be announced r/tomorrow
you was right
It would be hilarious if nothing happens on thursday or this week entirely
If it is this week, that would be hilarious. Nintendo basically told us the date in June when they announced DK.
Mario Kart makes a lot of sense to me at launch, it’s their broadest appeal franchise and it’s been SO long. Most the DLC didn’t freshly come out and presumably they have some hook for the next entry that’ll draw people in
Launch year at least, but I think it makes sense for launch day
Idk I think Thursday is a good guess
How many times can he go "who is this Nate the Hate guy anyways" before he actually looks into him and realizes why it actually means something when he says somethhing
Because Nintendo’s social media post said by Mar 31st, I’m expecting it to be around that time since they’ve been taking so long.
I genuinely hope they reveal some launch titles, cuz that’ll determine if people (like myself) will buy.
Arlo you are definitely discounting Nate here for no reason, he absolutely has sources. There would absolutely be a difference between him saying it and if you just started confidently started saying it lol
I don't really have a problem with Arlo being overly cautious here, you know, with the nature of this stuff. Not everything can be 100 percent all of the time. But I think it would be nice if in the future there was a discussion actually bringing up the track record so people can decide for themselves how much stock to put into it. I'm not saying we need a deep dive for every single leak, but it would be nice if more context was presented here. Exactly what was said, and the kind of stuff he has previously called over the years. At the very least, I think it would be beneficial to provide the source in the description so that people who aren't as terminally online as the rest of us can look into it more easily if they want, or at least have a more full quote of what was actually said. Maybe go a bit deeper into it than just the title of an article showing the general idea of what happened, and look into why a source is or isn't trusted. Again, I'm not hating on Arlo, these are just some suggestions that I think could improve this type of content.
Also, yeah I thought that particular comment was weird. It's like, yeah I think it would be stupid if I got online and started saying "Switch 2 this week, everybody!" because I have no source and no history of having a source with Nintendo, so why would anybody believe me? But if I'm a person who has been accurately leak specific stuff relating to Nintendo for the last ten years, then it's like, uh yeah maybe pay more attention to me then the average person claiming nonsense lol. I mean, I'm pretty sure the most recent think this guy claimed was by name an insanely specific Hello Kitty game being shown in an upcoming Nintendo Direct. But I guess it's impossible to tell if he has connections, must've just been a lucky guess that anyone could've called.
But whatever, it's not super serious, it's supposed to be fun after all. It's just, I've never liked the idea of "rumors/leakers" just being one big entity that are all working together, it's like, nah, they all have separate track records and levels of trustworthiness.
@@Cheesehead302 The issue is Arlo is talking like he discovered who Nate was yesterday and is neglecting is years of correct leaks with a pretty good track record. It comes off as a bit petty to try and undermine his credibility by calling Nate "some guy" when the only guy is Arlo who has absolutely zero sources.
@@Cheesehead302you don't know nate just like arlo don't
@@ausgod538 he was right
HE WAS RIGHT????
Inb4 Nintendo still doesn't announce the switch 2 this week.... and it ends up getting announced late march, right before the date they said it will announced by passes by.
That is the most likely scenario
Am I the only one that thinks everyone should just sit down and enjoy the system they have for the moment? The Switch 2 will come when it comes
Thursday : alarmo 2
LOL. Or a new controller for NSO. New mini console. Plenty of possibilities
Now with built in music app! (You have to pay for both, or else the clock doesn’t work).
Welp, Thursday was right!!
Am I the only one who despite being excited, doesn’t feel ready due to their switch backlog 😭
Dude, I definitely feel this 😅
Perfect now you have an entire library of backwards compatible games 🎉🍻🥳
I've asked Nintendo to put it on hold until you finish your BL, they agreed 👍
i'm in that boat too. i'm trying to not worry about saving games for later anymore since i need to clear my backlog to make room for the new library of games for the new console.
i just want to see Furukawa & Doug Bowser having a Rooftop Party for the announcement
Doesn't Nate have a good track record?
Yes. Especially for games and Directs. So he easily could be spot on for this. We should know if they make an announcement for a presentation in the next day or so.
He’s either got sources or figured out the sauce so it seems
Nintendo should just post a white 2 on a red background today, the marketing would go crazy. And then tomorrow do the same with a 1 so it's actually a countdown. Cinema.
Staring at the TopicArlo youtube channel, eyes stinging with sweat pouring from my glistening forehead, waiting with baited breath for the promised further Arlo Switch 2 Reveal Speculation™. My finger hurts from spamming refresh page. "You want to control people? Tell them a messiah will come, They'll wait for centuries." Eagerly I await the return of the puppet from the outer world.
Please let it be this week so the internet can get over Switch 2 announcement rumors and move on to anything else, like Switch 2 game rumors or something just literally anything else
Mariokart is probably Nintendo's biggest system seller, but I don't think it works great as a launch title. I think a big single player game like BotW or Mario 64 would be better since it would be better to show off a big new game that showcases the hardware for the day one buyers to sink countless hours into themselves. Plus multiplayer games are difficult for new consoles since they likely won't be able to play with many friends online or with local wireless since no one else will have the console yet, and even in couch multiplayer they probably won't have multiple controllers yet to let many play it.
Tldr:
I think they should get a big single player game for the core audience to let the system stand on its own. Then let it run with a mariokart a few months down the line to draw in the bigger crowd of casual fans.
In my opinion, they don't need to release a big game at launch. Launch titles are usually filler games.
@@lol-ih1tlhorrible opinion
@RoachCatJr a console's launch is not the end all be all. The best years of a system's life are the third and fourth years (or 2027-2028).
@@lol-ih1tl Holy shit thank god you are not in a marketing department. You're basically saying just coast and release shit titles for 2 years then drop them all at once.
@Mirage475 that's what happened with the 3DS if you think about it.
I have big Nintendo connections and can confirm it will not be happening on Thursday. It's been delayed due to be being cancelled, they're now moving onto the Switch 3.
I mean, you could listen to Nate’s actual quote instead of ignoring it and making your own assumptions…
It's so bizarre dude that's why i have problems with arllo
You see, this is exactly why we need a switch 2 pro
Nate the Hate has an uncle who works at Nintendo
„My dad works at nintendo“ ahh
Nate the Hate IS the uncle at Nintendo lol
Nate The Hate isssss Nintendo
Nate gave more than just the date, he also discussed the manner of the announcement. Moreover, he had expressed that he didn't think said manner (bare-bones tech reveal, no game teases) made sense the way he heard it. It was a lot more specific than just "state your forecast with confidence".
Arlo: certified Nate the Hate hater
can't wait for the anouncement to be a toaster that makes toast with nintendo characters
There have been so many switch 2 leak and rumors that I almost don’t want the shit to come out lol. It’s kinda be like reverse psychology
if it was going to be announced on thursday, would they not give a day-prior heads-up like they usually do? i have seen no such thing, yet... not to mention DKCRHD comes out that day, and unveiling an entire new system right then would kind of be a ridiculously stupid move.
It's been a year since the last wave of the Mario kart 8 dx booster course pass dlc came out. That's enough of a gap for a brand new mario kart title to be released, especially since it's literally been over 10 years now since the og Mk 8 came out on the Wii U.
Welp, it happened! 😃
This week does make sense, but I think Nintendo might want to postpone this thing to next week, considering the LA wildfires AND a major earthquake in Miyazaki
Literally Nintendo does not care whats going on in the US save for a national tragedy or nuclear war. There is always something going on that cause a delay. And the earthquake is minimal if anything considering they lifted the tsunami alert within hours.
Been posting this everywhere, but I'm gonna laugh if Thursday hits and there's no Switch 2 announcement anywhere at all. lol
If this gets announced on my birthday, I’ll lose it.
Happy early birthday! 🎊 Here's hoping 🤞
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday for March 31st lovely way to wrap up fiscal year hahaha
happy early birthday:)
It would be hilarious if Nintendo didn't reveal it until the very last day of the fiscal year.

I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo leaked the switch successor as a marketing stunt to get people interested in the system
Nah
Companies do that
Nintendo doesn't
@Matanumi still waiting on examples of nate...
@@Matanumi? Name a company that willingly leaked their hardware
I sold my Switch for the Steam Deck, it better be good if ima buy one again 😂😂😂😂😂
Pikmin 5 is the game I want!!
2 to 3 was a 9 year wait. 3 to 4 was a 10 year wait. doing the math we gotta wait around 11 more years before pikmin 5 lol
@gomerjomer9209 surprised launch title. No DLC because they just kept building the new game. Yes yes. 🤥
@ I wish so had your confidence
@gomerjomer9209 I mean I just hope we get one in the next 6 years. That’s my time frame before I would wonder.
I cant believe its almost been 8 years. In that amount of time i learned to drive, i got a job, and im about to graduate high school.
