Maybe they are awaiting a post holiday clearance sale on oled screens.
Yes, I know that’s not how things work but it’s the only thing that’ll get me through this 🙁

I’m okay either way. I gotta catch up on my back catalog of games. lol

Well if Brazilian journalist Pedro Henrique Lutti Lippe says it, it must be true.

I suspect we won’t get a revel in March like rumored either and at most a regular Direct.

I have heard of Switch 2 rumor for 4 years now. The reality is, it is launched when it IS launched.

March 2017 worked out well. I wouldn’t mind. Maybe makes the dream scenario from the Nvidia leaks a reasonably priced handheld like how 2015 a Tegra X1 would be top of the line expensive. 2017 solid value price

If that means they have to fill the year with old Zelda ports then so be it.

VGC updated the article. “VGC has heard from multiple sources who said Nintendo has told publishers its next console will now launch in Q1 2025.” This sucks.

So what is the excuse for the absence of a regular direct in February if there is still an entire year where the current switch could receive first-party games?

I don’t believe it. This Partner Direct coming up, the general lack of heavy-hitter games this year, everything is lining up for a sooner Switch 2 release than that. Honestly, I don’t mind waiting till then if it is the case, though.

I’ll believe it when Nintendo actually says something about it

Last time it got delayed from holidays to Q1 because of breath of the wild. I wonder if something similar is going on 🤔

Kinda nuts how much Nintendo coverage is just rumour mongering and speculation about the Switch successor.
It must suck so hard to try and grind page views about this company. They don’t overhype their products. They don’t put products out until they’re ready. They’re very competent.

I doubt it. Not with the current release schedule being 1 new game and 3 remasters.

If this is true it’s going to kill holiday 2024 for them although Nintendo year end is March 31 so maybe they don’t care as long as they get it out by then.
But if we are still over a year away from the next console… I don’t know what they have in the pipeline that can fill that time. PLEASE LET IT BE ORACLE OF AGES/SEASONS REMAKES.

Switch 2 is launching tomorrow
There, it was claimed that it’s launching tomorrow — where are the articles

People! Please read the article before commenting. VGC states that they’ve also heard the same from multiple sources and that Nintendos delaying it from Holiday 2024 to Q1 2025 to make sure they have enough first-party titles on release.
Personally, I think this is a smart move. This years gonna be pretty dry it seems so fingers crossed for a reveal in October or something, lol.

Metroid Prime 4 confirmed.

Man I worry that the Tegra Chip will be a lot less impressive if it gets delayed to Late 2025.

I just hope that whenever they release it, there are plenty to go around and we don’t have to deal with the false scarcity bullshit Sony pulled with ps5.

another year of ‘should I get a switch now or wait for switch 2’
>UPDATE 8.45pm UK: Eurogamer sources can now corroboate the earlier reports that the Switch 2, once destined for release later in 2024, is now set for Q1 2025.
>The console’s launch moving into early next year – but still within the coming financial year – is designed to ensure Switch 2’s launch line-up features as many titles as possible, Eurogamer understands.
>Separately, VGC has also now reported on the move to Q1 2025, with publishing sources saying Nintendo recently briefed third-party game companies on the move from late 2024 to early 2025.

That would kill their holiday sales for this year.
