Multiple sources claim the Switch 2 will officially be revealed on Thursday

Several news outlets and alleged insiders are reporting lately that an imminent Switch 2 reveal is about to happen on this week, specifically on Thursday, January 16th.

Amongst the big number of leaks and images floating around the internet about the successor to the Nintendo Switch, to which Nintendo has already addressed just a few days ago, it seems like several news sites like The Verge, Video Game Chronicles, Forbes, Kokatu, and a lot more, are reporting that insiders within the gaming industry claim that the reveal of the long awaited and rumoured successor to the popular Nintendo Switch will happen in just a couple of days, with the specific date of the reveal happening on Thursday, January 16th, as it is being rumoured.

Nate The Hate is one of the sources being linked to when it comes to the recent rumour, as in his latest podcast he mentioned the day in which the eventual rumoured reveal will happen, as well as that the so called reveal will focus on the hardware of the console itself, with the games and software that will be available for it will be the focus of a reveal at a later date. Nate additionally mentions that the Switch 2 will apparently have support from 3rd party companies like Ubisoft and Konami, and that the console might have a release date around May or June of this year.



With how many leaks and how much information has been reported around, it's certain that something is brewing up, but we can all but wait until said date to see if the rumours turn out to be true or not.

Doubtful that's a concern, they'll continue to manufacture Switch for several years alongside Switch 2.


Right, Microsoft and Sony don't mind taking a loss on console hardware years after launch for that very reason. Nintendo though is absolutely appalled by that idea, which is why they're nickel and dime-ing with just 12GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.

IF it does launch at ~£350, unless they drop the price I could see the Switch/OLED being dropped, whilst maybe keeping the Lite around for a while as the budget option, this is subject to unsold inventory.

I also mentioned "little" profit because I'm talking something like £10-20 per unit. I agree that Nintendo are unlikely to want to sell at a loss, unless sales go that badly and they're desperate to boost sales.

Well they usually make announcements for announcements by now so my bet is either it's not happening or it's a shadow announcement

"Thursday! It will be Thursday of THIS WEEK! My sources are 100% sure!!!"

Thursday arrives.

"It will be the end of March! 100% it will be the end of THIS MARCH! No doubt this time!!"

Seriously though. That's what Nintendo Everything is saying today. Safe bet I suppose.

I would honestly bet that Nintendo will not reveal anything today, though sadly the alleged leakers will not STFU regardless of the outcome.

Not revealed - "Well, the Switch 2 is akshually going to be announced on [date], for real this time!"
Revealed - "Splatoon 4, Mario Galaxy 3, Mario Odyssey 2 and a new Nintendo Labo Toy-con are all going to be launch titles!"

Okay, so all the jokes aside, at what time of the day could they realistically announce the Steam Deck 2?
