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

According to a google checks and their official trailer, Switch 1 was promoted Oct 20, 2016. And it released in March 2017.

So if they go with the same timing, there's still a couple weeks.

I can't even imagine the week OP had if we're on the 6th and he's already thinking the month's over 🤣 Oh my god it took me 10 minutes to get to the second page of this thread 🤣

Seriously, amazing job for this. This is the kind of energy that makes Nintendo put their "there will be no mention of..." addendums to every announcement. This is the kind of energy we need ✊

God speed, OP. I'd wish you all the best, but let's be real, that ship's sailed 🥹

No reveal before the holidays. Probably not till March. They don't want casual consumers who are unaware to have buyers remorse and feel burned. But it is a business so it is fair to wait a season at least before making an announcement. (Not as though they are actually releasing)

With the terrible news regarding the hurricane, I doubt Nintendo will announce it anytime soon. I could see a January announcement.

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.

And yet AGAIN Sony's blatantly stealing Nintendo's blueprints. But it only takes Sony 6 months to remaster and resell their vast library...

Why would they? The Key is to shut up & let your old product sell until you're close to release date with the new product.

Microsoft is the only one that panic & start talking about their next project because people are buying someone else's products.

What? And miss out on those sweet holiday console sales?

You’re not going to hear about it until next year. They still need to move switch units and sell games, last thing they need is people holding out.

just like with the Switch, they will announce the reveal a day before they reveal it.

it literally can be any day now. one day Nintendo will tweet:
Be among the first to discover our next console. Watch the Preview Trailer at 7am PT/10am ET!

and the next day the trailer will be on youtube, with a date for a full reveal

They will wait till after the holidays to squeeze what's left of the switch and then announce. Why butcher holiday sales?

I cry about Xbox and hate PlayStation.
The switch is still selling like hot cakes.

Games will be crossgen anyway

They absolutely want to squeeze the last drop of blood out of the ol' turnip. It's highly unlikely they'd self-sabotage their holiday sales by announcing a new Switch.

Nintendo is still working on contracts for the actors from the first reveal commercial from the first Switch, locking down a new catchy tune and selecting games to photo shop in.

I've honestly stopped caring and not all that excited at the moment. As in, my hype reached a peak some time ago and has only been dulled by the endless speculation to the point of 'whenever the fuck it comes out' apathy. Frankly, if its just a more powerful Switch that idea isn't as exciting to me having owned the Steam Deck and now the Legion Go. Which is not to say I won't get it but....it's whatever. Now if the hook this time around is making me coffee and a morning hand-job my hype will return.

In the meantime I've got plenty of shit to play. Just grabbed a Ps5 slim and just ordered FF VI remake intergrade( haven't played it yet) and will probably grab Astrobot around the holidays. Every month that goes by my gaming money goes to other things (shrugs). Shit when Xmas comes around all the PS5 games that go on sale for $30( Ratchet, Returnal, Demon Soul) I will probably grab. I got GOW2018 and Zero Dawn in my backlog from like 5 years ago.

So, take your time Nintendo.

Yeah what the hell Nintendo, it's already early 2026. Come on already.

They'll announce the direct or whatever the day before it's gonna happen.
