One final Christmas push for the OG Switch to anyone who still doesn't know the successor is imminent.

 

[TVexperto]

Why on earth would Nintendo gamble the holiday cash cow on an early reveal? Better to milk the Switch under the Christmas tree first, then toss us a bone next year.

Completely agree

This isn't like the 3DS in 2016 where sales were drying up.

Why would Nintendo shoot themselves in the foot and lose out on big holiday Switch sales?

People just need to stay patient. Once the Christmas 12 day returns period is up then Nintendo should talk/show.

 

[RoadHazard]

That reminds me I need to sell my Switch while it's still worth some money.

 

[SweetTooth]

They are waiting for the school year to start to announce it, so kids can keep talking about it. Smart of you ask me!

Some people are idiots. Can't expect everyone to think the same logic lol.

 

[HRK69]

Ok

 

[Banjo64]

I think Feb-Mar reveal, May-June launch.

Nintendo are too busy having fun going after emulator devs and some random kid playing Princess Peach Showtime! on Ryujinx at the moment.

 

[MagnesD3]

I hate a winning nintendo :₩

 

[ComputerBlue]

It's not even mid December yet.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

It'll be announced soon I'm sure. I can't imagine it will be announced until the new year since the Switch is still selling by the bucket load. It would be pretty silly to announce a new console right before Christmas, when people are out buying the current console. Any announcement at this point could put new sales at risk and no company in their right mind would want that.

They want to sell as many switches as possible for the holidays, why hurt those sales for a slightly earlier reveal?

 

[RetroGamingUK]

At least one of you caught on…

It's already late October and Nintendo still hasn't given any hints about the reveal of the Switch's successor.

the wait consumes me.

To be fair, sometimes Nintendo just DOES things that seem to fly in the face of logic.

Just follow the trail of money, and it always makes sense.

When people say "I don't understand why Nintendo does or doesn't do X, they must hate money" the answer is because, in fact, that behavior results in more money.

 

[Party McHardy]

It's crazy how this thing has kept on trucking for sooo long. In this day and age!

Despite everything, the announcement of an announcement will be shocking.

 

[Sintoid]

I can understand this situation, creating a successful successor to Switch must be a real pain in da ass
Everything must be at the right place in the right time to conquer a very difficult and vast user base

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Bro is desperate to consume a product.

 

[Hudo]

Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition says that the Switch ain't dead yet (to me).

On the other hand, it also says that the Wii U is truly dead now.

 

[ManaByte]

Watch them do it at the Game Awards.

 

[64gigabyteram]

it's already mid march 2025 and Nintendo still hasn't given any hints about the reveal of the switch's successor (i hope this ages badly)

 

[yurinka]

Announcement Winter 2025 and release Spring 2025.

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

See you in January or February.


Btw, there are more interesting questions everyone should be asking.

 

[CS Lurker]

They won't announce anything until people stop asking about Switch 2.

 

[MayauMiao]

the wait consumes me.

Why would they? It will harm the current sales of Switch.

Its really is that simple.

March 31 is closing in fast, and I assume we'll see it before the absolute latest possible date.
