Nate the Hate also believes that the console will go on sale in May or June, which aligns with VGC's sources.
Tom Warren from The Verge also expects an announcement this week.

Thank god, just get this over with.
is it 2016??
This is it folks. Time to strap in, enjoy the serenity for the next couple of days.
On sale in May or June. Perfect for the summer holidays where people travel. This thing is gonna sell like gold dust, especially if it has backwards compatibility and a semi-decent launch lineup.
I feel sorry for the people who can’t seem get through their day without trying to dig up information on the new console.
Everyone knows it’s going to be announced when Nintendo is ready, you also can’t buy it any sooner than Nintendo wants. Your efforts are literally for nothing.
Nintendo switch? That released 2017 ….
Breaking news, switch 2 will be unveiled as early as tomorrow
I’m really hoping for two SKUs, with an OLED model at launch. But part of me thinks this is unrealistic.
Nintendo Switch 2 could be unveiled as early as r/tomorrow
Why the heck would you reveal hardware and not software? Especially for Nintendo. Software is their entire selling point.
this is the worse kept secret in videogames industry, the reveal will be disappointing for sure! you can’t beat years of speculation and leaks, and renders… hopefully i’m wrong but there’s nothing to be excited about and the price will be high, at least $400.
On the day Donkey Kong Country Returns HD comes out? Eh.
Every so often, I like to visit r/NintendoNX and see the explosive hype, but also all of the… *interesting* theories people had about what the NX was going to turn out to be.
These past few weeks have been the closest I’ve felt to that time since. I missed that feeling.
My body is ready
Nobody else remembers all the Nate the Hate Switch Pro stuff eh? Guy was pouring paint on the wall and almost all of it fell off lmao
The second I see his name now my eyes roll back into my head.
The new console will come when it comes. And not when Nate the Hate opens his mouth lol
Why would the Nintendo Switch be unveiled on January 16th? It was unveiled 8 years ago!
Unless I see an article or video directly by Nintendo then I’m assuming everything related to a nintendo switch 2 is fake news.
> could be
Oh, ok then
Nintendo January 16: We’d like to finally announce the highly anticipated Super Nintendo Alarmo 2.
Yeah, could be later too, who knows?
My insider said it’s actually pushed back to next year because they want everyone to suffer longer.
any day now
If you miss the announcement, don’t worry. There will be hundreds of YouTube videos breaking down what was shown and discussed.
what are nate the hates insider qualifications?
If it’s the same as the OG Switch reveal. We will get around 4 minute commercial showing the system being played and end with a release date. But it will not be a “direct” where they discuss games and specs.
It did show games like BOTW, Mario Odyssey, Witcher 3, Skyrim, NBA 2k, Mario Kart 8 deluxe, and Splatoon 2 being played.
I just hope they don’t make it too much bigger. I have the switch OLED and the steam deck OLED. I much prefer taking the switch with me on the go then the steam deck.
Keep it still reasonably portable and if it holds the same battery life as the OLED I will be happy. Oh, obviously make it more powerful.
Eurogamer is the same
You’re a little bit late. Nintendo Switch was revealed in 2016
we’re so sick of nintendo switch rumors that we’re excited about the rumor that the nintendo switch rumors are going to end.
i hope it does finally get revealed. for 4 years now wannabe journos and leakers said it will come out every week, its so tiresome.
Do we even know if they are calling it the ” switch 2″ yet ?
what are his references does he have any actual credibility?
At this point, I feel like I know what the hardware is. I’m just ready to hear about the new 3D Mario game, whatever it is!
I already have a Nintendo Switch though.
I’m definitely getting switch 2 day one or as close to as I can get
Here’s how to get me to buy a switch 2 day 1… wind waker.
Switch 2 will be revealed on Thursday January 16th, the trailer will be EXACTLY the same format as the alt Switch reveal trailer, it will have an enhanced Zelda game, either Cyber Punk or Elden Ring as the big name third party game and I think a new Mario Kart game in the trailer.
I’m so much more interested in the launch window games (so hoping for next 3D Mario, Metroid Prime 4 and Pokemon Z-A [if it’s actually good] and heck, something completely new would be cool too) than the actual hardware but finally showing it and getting it out of the way would be good.
They should call it Super Nintendo Switch
Finally we should get the Wind Waker port
