the wait consumes me.

 

[StueyDuck]

Game awards tease, march reveal or early next year reveal.

Similar to the switch

 

[Mr Hyde]

Late October? It's the 6th.

sorry I always look at the glass half empty instead of full

 

[GHG]

Them going crazy and shutting down every single switch emulator in existence are all the hints I need.

 

[XXL]

Why would they give you hints?

When they're ready to talk about it, they'll talk about it.

If anything....this.

OG Switch was revealed on Oct 20th..

[lughnasadh123]

I don't really expect much beyond a beefier Switch with some minor QoL upgrades, so anything other than release date doesn't really interest me.

 

[PurePlatinum]

I wouldn't describe October 6th as late October.

 

[dmaul1114]

At this point I kind of expect them to not talk about it this year. Probably don’t want to risk reducing Switch sales over the holidays as people hold off for the successor.

They can announce it early next year if it’s coming in spring or later on if it’s not until Fall 2025.

You can look at the glass however you want, it is still factually not late October in any way, shape, or form.

This isn't about perspective. It is literally early October.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

If it's not coming out until next year then why reveal it now. Something like reveal in Dec-Jan makes sense and then launch it in Spring/Summer.

 

[Hookshot]

I'm just going to start posting that it's coming tomorrow each day, so that when it does I can proclaim myself and insider and get twitter clout.

 

[SGRU]

Not late, but yeah, I want it NOW.

 

[RoboFu]

31 days in October homie.

 

[angrod14]

I bet it will finally support Betamax tapes.

 

[PatientGamer]

OP must be from the future. It's still Oct 6th/7th on Planet Earth bro.

It's late Sunday 6th of October factually in the UK.

Huh? The Switch was revealed in October, got a January showcase, and was released in March.

Late October? It's the 6th.

Seriously. I don't think the 6th even qualifies as mid October. We're still in early October for like four more days. The catastrophizing has gotten so severe that it's fucking with how some of us comprehend even time itself.

 

[StueyDuck]

yeah that's what i mean as in a similar format, where the end of this year we'll hear something formal, start of next year before the end of fiscal year we'll get the big blowout with all the unveils with features and games etc... then it will release shortly after.

only i think this time it'll be at game awards, i feel the switch 2 isn't going to be that drastically different so there won't be as big of a launch campaign for it as the switch.

remember back then they had to make us all understand what on earth that thing was, it had a dock, was portable, controllers came off, had IR etc.

this time it won't be so complex

Yeah... the first week of October isn't finished. Close this thread!

 

[SGRU]

Somebody open the thread "Switch, 2 official pictures".

 

[DaleinCalgary]

Nintendo will milk the switch for 6 more years. You don't release a new one until you have resold every old game they have ever made. Then you start again next generation.

 

[ReyBrujo]

Seriously. I don't think the 6th even qualifies as mid October.

That's what happens when you waste your monthly pay before the first week ends.

 

[Radical_3d]

Fucking calendars! How they work?

 

[RPCGamer]

I think they'll probably leave it till the new year. One last Christmas rush.

 

[Danjin44]

I have MANY games both on Switch and PS5 to keep me busy.

 

[AngelMuffin]

I wouldn't describe October 6th as late October.

Nobody would, except OP.

 

[Mister Wolf]

We are all getting stir crazy waiting for the Switch 2. I've been waiting for this thing so I can finally play TOTK.

 

[AngelMuffin]

OG Switch was revealed on Oct 20th..

A few differences this time around. The Wii U was a lame duck console, so they weren’t worried about holiday sales, etc. The Switch was also released in March vs April/May (most likely) for Switch 2. Big N also said they’ll reveal something this FY, not CY so that gives them more time to make the announcement.

 

[struggler_guts]

Bouttah go another year with "switch 2 this year guyz!!!" Threads and no announcement

 

[Spooky Scary Skeleton]

It only makes sense for a nintendo fans to believe we are in late October because math is hard.

 

[Aguero9320]

It is late early October.

 

[AngelMuffin]

It only makes sense for a nintendo fans to believe we are in late October because math is hard.

There’s one person on the planet who believes we’re in late Oct…the OP.

 

[LukeAJN]

Guys we got to wait and get the switch pro first that everyone promised me was 100% real and coming

 

[justiceiro]

I wish Nintendo would make one a tease a day without revealing anything new really, just to drive their fanbase mad, lol.

 

[Hookshot]

Still got my voucher ready and waiting for Pokémon Stars.

 

[Tams]

An apt character in your choice of gif, OP.

 

[Davevil]

for me it's late October (tomorrow is already the seventh of the month) and whoever is with me follow me

 

[Hawking Radiation]

Late October? It's the 6th.

Yeah I was like TF did I just sleepwalk through to the end of this month?

 

[Ge Os]

late October

 

[Mozza]

I think anybody expecting a Switch 2 reveal this year, is going to be very disappointed.

And OP. the end of October?, you sound crazy.

 

[GoldenEye98]

Big N also said they’ll reveal something this FY, not CY so that gives them more time to make the announcement.

The main difference this time is that everybody knows what the Switch is. The reveal trailer last time was basically "look at how this novel thing works".

That isn't really needed this time around. Nintendo also doesn't really like to talk about specs either. So I am kinda curious how they reveal or talk about this if it is basically just a more powerful Switch. Maybe it doesn't even get announced until shortly before launch (that would kinda suck though)

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

I feel like nintendo want to pull an "available now" magic trick.

 

[Jorav]

Hey it’s early 2025 and no switch 2 announcement
