Multiple sources are stating Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal is on January 16th

Of course he had help, he has contacts in the gaming industry. This leak works like all the other leaks. But leaks aren't things that happen with a company's permission.
Man, we have to agree to disagree here. I respect your opinion, but Nintendo is possibly the most litigious company on earth, if someone was dropping sensitive information Nintendo didn’t want out there, that person would be dealt with. We have seen this over and over again.

Hell, there is a rumor that Nintendo attorneys showed up at CES to talk about their “leaks”.

Journalists have been leaking things about video games for years.

Nintendo isn't suing Nate for the same reason they aren't suing Jeff Grubb, Chris Dring, Tom Henderson, Andy Robertson, the Digital Foundary team any other journalist that has reported on Nintendo. Same reason as other video companies don't tend to sue journalists.

But yes agree to disagree.

It could very well not be, but how do we know for sure?

I mean, yeah, new course and enhanced visuals, but everything else looks the same.
The map it showcased are new. It's not MK8. But I think it pretty much confirmed the rumors about it launching with MK9 is a lock now

Because Nintendo aren't retards. A rerelease of M8 would be the most retarded thing ever when you want to sell a new system.

Ah, see I wasn't aware of those rumors to begin with. It'd make sense and I'd certainly welcome it.

I mean, it's not like Nintendo hasn't done retarded things before, lmao.

Back to normal life. We have a LONG wait until April to see if Switch 2 is worth the hype. Clearly it is releasing no earlier than late May/ Early June.

I agree with you. I do wonder if MS is allowed to announce those games in MS event, then show them running on Switch 2 hardware at the Nintendo event.
I think that was one reason for this announcement. So MS can include the Switch 2 games in their event and other third parties can also announce Switch 2 games.

I will be laughing at all you doubters tomorrow as I'm sitting on my couch on my day off eating pancakes and sipping coffee, joyfully taking in the wonderful nintendo news. I hope....
Well I got a sip of coffee in…..kind of underwhelming but atleast we have a date for the real direct. Longer than I was hoping but they come out guns blazing in April. Kinda seems like a fall release date at this point if we’re not getting a full reveal until April.

or maybe not. Rumors were true!!!
Looks like they threw DK:CR to die lol I mean, I think they definitely released the teaser before they planned, maybe because they held on for way too long that some NDA expired and lost control over secrecy... They April event was definitely always going to be at that date since they didn't commit to anything else than revealing the console to shareholders, April 2? That's a fresh new FY, but the reveal wasn't expected to be this soon, that's how I see it
