NOBODY could have randomly guessed Ace Attorney Investigations. The 2nd game was never even localized and we had no reason to believe it ever would be. They definitely had access to the June direct.
“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.
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.
Especially since most who will get at launch are hardcore fans or those who have anticipated for years. The launch systems will sell out even if they announced and released same day.
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.
January 8th in Asia would be January 7th our time (when CES 2025 happens). People seem to forget tho the OG Switch was revealed in October 2016; it was silent until January, where its true marketing started, then released on March 3 (a 2-month turnaround).
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.
It might launch on March. Like why would they wait another year. I hope it launches with MP4 and other games. Yeah, Mario games are fun but haven’t play any tbh.
I think a two month turnaround is perfectly reasonable after the announcement considering there’s not much difference between this and the original switch… It’s just a more powerful iteration of the same thing
After Wii U, Nintendo needed a lot of time to explain the differences in the systems and build hype after the failure, now they actually don't need that much time since the Switch is well known to everyone and the design of S2 has not undergone any revolutionary changes (probably)
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
MK9 would be the best launch game for the new system. It's been a decade since 8 came out. MK8 is the most sold Switch game, so MK9 would be a massive launch.
İ am with you same here. İf Nintendo announce the Nintendo Switch 2 in January 8 and release it in March it is not very possible. Release date most be like 6, 7 or 8 months later.
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.
Funnily enough an March release would justify MP4 as a launch title more as maybe the Mario games needed more time but they wanted to release the system as soon as possible now if it’s a June release with no Mario at launch that’s a bit disappointing
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 would be very angry if the new console comes out the same month as xenoblade x, a waste opportunity to make a big jump. i would prefer to wait one more year with a complete remake for switch 2 than a march release
In poor taste to reveal it in January? Not hardly. One more month would change anything, and the people who you say would find it in bad taste are the ones who waited 8 years to get a Switch 1 lol. Nintendo fans have been ready to get the next system for a year now. 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.
A request. Could you add Utsugi Detective Agency from Emio The Smiling Man to the music rotation in your videos? It’s alright if it doesn’t fit the vibe.
Switch 1 games like XCX have no relevance or effect on Switch 2 in any way shape or form. Both XCX and Switch 2 could release March... 3DS games still released when Wii U was out.
This not a leaker, he's just hype eater, trying to BS people, making fake countdown to arouse false buzz around him with the purpose of getting the spotlight😓😤
What if they revealed the name switch 2 and show the system and it’s exactly what we’ve seen already and it’s just no date and no games. We literally we learn nothing because we’ve already know this.,😂😂
NOBODY could have randomly guessed Ace Attorney Investigations. The 2nd game was never even localized and we had no reason to believe it ever would be. They definitely had access to the June direct.

If they waited seven years to buy a Nintendo Switch they wouldn’t be buying the successor in 2025
Timing is key for every business
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.

January to March is a perfectly fine release period. I have no idea why you guys think this needs half a year.
Especially since most who will get at launch are hardcore fans or those who have anticipated for years. The launch systems will sell out even if they announced and released same day.
Alarmo was released same day as revealed so they could do a short release period for a system.
Exactly right. This isn't 2001 or even 2012. With the way things work today things are launched within weeks of reveal, not months.

To a year of terror

A January to March run up would most - likely explain the weird things Nintendo have done as of late.
Metroid Prime 4 and Nintendo Switch 2 day 1 , the best combo ever.
February is when we’re supposedly going to have that OG Switch direct.
oh my god, now we're going again with every week saying "it's this week, for certain".
Switch 2 doesn’t need a long marketing cycle. We’ve been hyping/marketing this thing for like two years now.
Marketing, shipping cost

I really hope those are actual images. We see tomorrow. We have been waiting way too long for this.
It might launch on March. Like why would they wait another year. I hope it launches with MP4 and other games. Yeah, Mario games are fun but haven’t play any tbh.
Also, if Nintendo is doing an actual presentation in January, then they would’ve essentially skipped the first look trailer.
It will be revealed in February. Merry Christmas.
March release goes against samus hunter’s claims interesting
No leakers are going to be 100% because plans change and can change dynamically. Having said that, they can also change back 😉
Merry Christmas

It's not launching in March. Furukawa never said it would launch in March. He said it would be revealed in Q1 '25.
Ocarina of Time Remake 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
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.

The original Switch was a two month gap. Why can’t this one be?
Love your videos it’s nice to know I can watch a Nintendo news channel and not have to worry about click bait

İ am with you same here. İf Nintendo announce the Nintendo Switch 2 in January 8 and release it in March it is not very possible. Release date most be like 6, 7 or 8 months later.
I think Xenoblade and Metroid both end up being multiplayer. The hope is that the multiplayer is better.

Odd that you ignore April outright...you say no March, then go to May-July. What happened to April.
Funnily enough an March release would justify MP4 as a launch title more as maybe the Mario games needed more time but they wanted to release the system as soon as possible now if it’s a June release with no Mario at launch that’s a bit disappointing
It's a somewhat safe prediction
It better not im stuck on plains and airports that day lmao
There should still be a February direct with switch 1 games
No, I think three games at launch is the minimum three different kinds of games one multiplayer one single player and the remaster is fine
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.
