I appreciate that you make videos giving thoughts about all these happenings instead of just giving the same news story told in the same way that everybody else is doing that day. It's refreshing.
Based on what Nintendo/PR team said yes everything is true and claiming we don’t have any concrete info is false. They said the hardware shown off was “not official”, but that’s obvious we already knew that they were just 3D prints by a third party company. They never said that the information was false. I have no idea why they worded like that to the point where it spills the beans. The statement should have been worded like this “The hardware was not official and has no relation to future Nintendo Hardware” that keeps it more vague but also still open ended and up in the air.
Pretty sure when they say "not official" they are meaning just that! These aren't based on official products and thus are likely just 3rd party attempts at what they think the switch successor looks like. This is Nintendo and they won't use fake or other like words to describe this in an official statement. So unofficial is clearly taken here as "these are fake designs!"
@DANCERcrow I don’t think you understand how PR speak works, and in turn that’s how PR works on the public. PR is essentially just gaslighting as a profession. It’s about twisting works to fit in a manner that is concise and vague so people eat it up. I mean it’s already working, you’re trying to believe what they are saying without actually putting any thought behind it. I never said they would call would directly call it fake just that they would have said something claiming they have no relation which would make more people think it’s fake. I mean it is true, Nintendo has no relation to Genki and they have publicly distanced themselves from companies in the past.
Based in what Nintendo said, we know nothing of the console period. We have a very good guess of what it's probably going to be. No matter what Nintendo says or doesn't say will lead to projection in any case, until they actually reveal the thing.
Don't discard the idea that nintendo is letting all this happen, I mean you and the whole world are talking about it, but I think is not true, at least not exactly, maybe some details, you bring the "NX" era , did you not remember how that was? The main "leaks" at the time was that it was going to be a strong console like ps4 pro, that the chip was made by Amd and a lot of crap that I don't remember of that time, but then, at the 11th hour the patent of the switch surged and almost no one belive it, and I remember very well when it was confirmed what the switch was, a lot of youtubers got mad, it was hilarious. 😂
Now that we know the XBox Developer's Direct is the 23rd it seems the most likely time to reveal this thing will be the last Wednesday of the month which is 6 days before the investor's meeting on the 4th. The original Switch teaser came 6 days before the Oct 26, 2016 investor's meeting. Then Feb General Direct on Feb 5th.
Theres plenty of reasons why not to show it off yet imo. For example they were probably planning to show it off alongside some games, including third party games. And those third parties wont be happy if Nintendo announces their games before they are ready. Not to mention Nintendo is likely enjoying the free publicity. Theyre trending daily now for doing literally nothing lol
The "leaks" were done by companies who have no contracts with Nintendo so Nintendo can't do anything. Though Nintendo themselves have made a statement on the so called leaks, only saying "They are not official."
At this point I'd imagine Nintendo is just committed to their plans. It'll probably be later this month after DKC Returns has had its time and before their next investors meeting. First look late January, Direct in mid February, and then we'll have a much clearer picture of the year. Leaks probably have some truth (probably a lot) but there's little Nintendo can do that doesn't just confirm that the leaks are mostly right.
The accessory manufacturers that are going wild with showing off what the Switch 2 looks like - are the ones that aren't official Nintendo partners and didn't sign an NDA. So they aren't restricted by Nintendo. EDIT: From what I understand, they aren't using models given to them by Nintendo, but rather by trusted sources that have the system.
They’ll announce a Direct shortly after DKC Returns HD releases. They’re waiting for that to come out first. It’s the last thing they’ve been advertising the crap out of.
@@ravus9935 MAYBE, but I haven’t seen nearly as much advertising for Xenoblade, whereas I can’t open my phone without getting inundated with Donkey Kong ads. Plus, I think some of these accessory makers have been “confirming” an April release date. We’ll see though, with Nintendo anything can happen. LOL
As far as reveal time: Next week won't be a good idea to reveal it The following week will also not be a good idea for a couple of reasons: 1 Inauguration Day, 2 Samsung Galaxy Unpacked Overall this month won't be a good idea to reveal it. I think Nintendo should reveal it between February 4th and February 6th that's like a few days before the Super Bowl Maybe promote the system during the Super Bowl
I have never seen a console leak like this. I know it’s not the case but why do I feel like Nintendo doesn’t mind the leaks because it gets people talking about them and more hype goes around the console so it’s kinda like promotion🤷♀️
I don't think Nintendo themselves don't even care that someone else is creating these leaks that isn't Nintendo here! It's so bloody confusing that Nintendo is so silent on this issue that is just letting some leak going around the internet and Nintendo just let's it happen for some strange reasons here!
They dont stop it because its free publicity and free hype. There are tons of stuff that aren't great that they dont stop because it doesnt hurt the bottom dollar. My thoughts. Edit: I think you're spot on about the missed reveal date, and contract expiring.
Arrogances, Ego and pride is what I think of Nintendo sometimes given their close fisted way of doing things. Honestly they need a better form of communication between the company and the Consumer and the investors if these leaks are getting out of hand.
@@Ruleof2Review Well it's basically been leaked all over the internet, even some of the third party games has been revealed. They could make a short confirmation to stop the gossip, but it's Nintendo so i'm not surprised. Despite that they could still make a video about the new functions, how the OS works and of course the new inhouse games. I'm looking forward to the release, but at this point i just feel that they should say something..
@@MysticGargoyle they may have the hardware prototype but so what? It's just a better switch - it's the UI.and first party games that's the real headline
Let them take their time. Got to many things to do and too many games to play. Technology is getting more advanced, leaking will continue to go up and up!
Nintendo is never strictly iterative. Maybe this is their version of a ‘soft opening’ because this time the new console is basically just a better Switch. You’ve got to believe they knew this could/would happen. And it has everyone that cares talking. Maybe it’s brilliant. The Switch 2 is underwhelming as a concept. They are letting everybody that cares, that knows they are never strictly iterative, get used to the fact that the new system is like the newest iPhone that skipped five generations.
Thanks for sharing such valuable information! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (mistake turkey blossom warfare blade until bachelor fall squeeze today flee guitar). How can I transfer them to Binance?
Why am I a cash only customer with DTE? Why did they do this to me? They're making me drive to a Kiosk to keep my electricity on, when I could just pay over the app. I haven't done anything wrong. It doesn't make any sense. I have the money.
All of these rumours feel like Xbox 720 rumours, with the ridiculous controllers with a hundred buttons on them and stuff like that. These rumours are just more grounded to not appear as fake as the Xbox 720 days.
These are unlicensed accessory vendors. Nintendo hasn't shared anything with them. They likely took what they thought were likely rumors and made stuff off of that .
I know one thing. I'm getting f*king tired of waiting for Nintendo to come out with something BRAND NEW because its about that time already. I wish they would stop stalling. Anothing thing i want more games. Especially if its an revamp of classic retro games. I'll take that even. To many corny games on the switch.
Just bear in mind, EVERYONE did this back during the Switch days as well, even to the point that Etika showcased the Switch all by himself out of nowhere when not many people knew about it..
You really think so lmao, most of the time they're decisions are HEAVILY delayed, the law case against the SwSh leaker wasn't done till several months after the release of SwSh..
Remember: When Nintendo reveals there next console, you still need to wait several months before they thing is even released. So when Nintendo decides to reveal their next console does not change their plans on releasing the thing which they decided YEARS ago. Nintendo always is thinking long term plans and is not all of these other companies that announce things way too early, and then the game was done last week and release it 2 weeks later. Nintendo will sit on games for years, 100% down and fully polished, with a very calculated plan of when to release the thing with no rushed development ever and their consoles are no different. Nintendo did a limited public play test for a very early pre-alpha rough concept of a future game and had the foresight to set up automatic detection to take down any video footage of even this very rough concept of a game knowing how the internet is. They probably also wanted to do a social experiment and see how people would respond with a 10,000 player playtest too and really get data with how people act outside of the game itself - the people that tried to show the game to others did not play Nintendo, Nintendo played them, they were playing 1D chess Nintendo is playing 5D chess. Anyways, we know the next console can play Switch games, uses cartridges, and you can use the CURRENT joy-con on the next console. This actually tells you the fake rumours are indeed fake without them ever directly saying the rumours are fake for anyone with any critical thinking skills.
@@ravus9935 Yes they did, they said it is backwards compatible which means it needs to play every Switch game. Nintendo Labo was also designed with the specific shape and size of the joy-con. Same with Ring Fit Adventure. So there will be joy-con rails and those rails have to work with the current joy-con. How the rails are implemented we don't know since they slapped on gamecube controller ports at the top of the Wii. At the very least, they won't have two different kinds of rails. If they do modified joy-con then those new rails still need to work with the current joy-con still.
@@MasterStacona ..? backwards compatibility on the software side, the new joycons might just have all the hardware of the og in it, hence being compatible...
Nintendo, doesn't care and is going to stick to their timeline. Only the gamers bubble is aware and cares about these leaks...it's only a tiny fraction of their current customer base. Only influencers seem to think this is a big deal.
I appreciate that you make videos giving thoughts about all these happenings instead of just giving the same news story told in the same way that everybody else is doing that day. It's refreshing.
Thanks for the kind words! Just doing what I can to keep the conversation interesting and stimulating. 👍
They’re really sticking to their reveal plan, i applaud them for not letting these leaks change their schedule plans

Agree. It’s like getting spoilers without context of why it’s awesome. Nx cycle was fun and kept us guessing.
It was a great time. I feel very lucky to have been a UA-camr during that era. I certainly miss it.

Kind of a bummer all these leaks got out before the official reveal
You’re 100% on the money… nothing is official until Nintendo makes an official announcement.
But they didnt say its Inaccurate

If anything these leaks are helping to hype up the Switch 2. I just need Nintendo to announce it already so I can preorder it.
If the only gimmick is a processing power increase, then the only leak that will hurt is seeing the games and how they perform

Nintendo was not panicking because of these weeks. They are going to announce and release this system on schedule..
Nintendo doesn’t care because the actual Switch 2 is nothing like how the leaks portray it
Guess we'll see.
I doubt that pretty sure that’s exactly what the switch 2 is going to look like
@Chris_Thorndyke I am starting to think the same thing as well.
It could also be the leaks are on purpose for whatever unknown reason
Arrogances, Ego and pride is what I think of Nintendo sometimes given their close fisted way of doing things. Honestly they need a better form of communication between the company and the Consumer and the investors if these leaks are getting out of hand.
