Nintendo Prime was messaged by a reputable GameStop "insider" about how corporate was telling stores to ready for the preorders of a new Nintendo system. He also expects the console to be revealed no later than March.

If this is true then there's gotta be a Nintendo Direct not too far off.

 

[DeceptiveAlarm]

I hope this is true. Give me something cool Nintendo. I'm bored atm.

 

[Punished Miku]

Maybe if I hit F5 few times I can get one. Right guys?

Hope you like Switch 2 bundles with 2 off brand controllers from MadCatz and 1-2 Switch 2 bundled in.

 

[Urban]

they have to announce it till end of march 24 or else they must talk about it at the shareholder meeting.

 

[Kuranghi]

Ooo that's exciting, can't wait to play all the beautiful new Ninty games at 1200p and 51fps.

February is usually the date. I'm expecting it a week before the Splatoon 3 DLC drops.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

If true then we should get the official Switch 2 announcement before Nintendo's FY2024 ends which is on March 31st.

 

[AJUMP23]

A new rumor every week. Hype train full speed ahead.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

March 6th, plan accordingly boiz

 

[Badlucktroll]

I bet Hi-Fi rush will be shown in the reveal direct

 

[Celcius]

There’s too much smoke lately for there to be no fire…

 

[skyfall]

Ready and waiting to preorder

 

[Hrk69]

No oled no buy

 

[35cent]

Hopefully this will be announced/cleared up soon. I'm looking at buying a Switch soon but I would want to hold off if the Switch 2 is around the corner.

"Is that Samus Aran in the background? Nah it's an orange bush"

Are you actually expecting 2160p?

 

[SmokedMeat]

The only way I’ll be getting a Switch 2 at launch is if GameStop does a crazy good Switch trade in promo, or Nintendo puts out some ridiculously exciting game that grabs me.

 

[ManaByte]

This has already been debunked in the Reddit sub the OP got it from:

 

[Zannegan]

Gamestop in person is just about the only way you'll be able to get one at launch with all the script kiddy scalpers and their bots on the loose.

 

[Deerock71]

No oled no buy

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

No oled no buy

You WILL double dip just as intended

 

[Bernoulli]

I hope this is true. Give me something cool Nintendo. I'm bored atm.

[Tg89]

Let’s go. Day 0.

 

[lughnasadh123]

I wonder how long after it releases we'll start seeing the new and improved Switch rumors.

 

[Zannegan]

This has already been debunked in the Reddit sub the OP got it from:

I wouldn't call that debunked. I mean, anything that comes through Nintendo Prime is going to be pretty nothingburder as his MO it to hype up other people's information, but the GS bit is jist guesswork and "it stands to reason."

So, while I wouldn't take the rumor as fact, there's nothing in the response that disproves it either.

Well slap my ass and call me Sally. My bad. Lol.

[Crispy Gamer]

Excited to hear more about whatever it is

 

[Kuranghi]

Nah of course not, just being sad at the reality of Nintendo's HW propositions, of course I realise its how it has to be, I wouldn't want better HW and worse games so its best this way.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

But GAF Nintendo experts told me this is going to be no earlier than September? Can't be true, then.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Switch 2 Is going to be huge. Cmon nintendo announce it already.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Gamestop took preorders for Duke Nukem Forever.
Can you imagine if this happened to the Switch 2?
Delay for years.

"Script kiddy"

Bro, no need to trivialize coding.

Go code something and get back to me how you failed and don't know what you're doing.

 

[Fake]

If true, maybe the next Nintendo Direct gonna be next week.

 

[Raven77]

Well if it comes out October then yes, a reveal in March makes sense.

 

[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

Nintendo Prime? This clown makes daily giveaways to bribe for subscribers

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Let's see what's their new console looks like.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Me first.

Nintendo Switch 2:

 

[Guerilla Munch]

time to put my series x out to pasture at gamestop i guess, should cover most of the switch 2

 

[mystech]

If this is true then there's gotta be a Nintendo Direct not too far off.

This 100%! I'm thinking it goes 1 of 3 ways:

1. We get a Nintendo Direct in February with a few more Switch games with a small glimpse of Switch 2 at the end.

2. No Direct at all and they go all in on a Switch 2 Showcase (hoping for this one)

3. One last Switch centered Direct in February and then a Switch 2 showcase in March.

 

[MarkMe2525]

Jailbreak all your old consoles for "homebrew". 90% of the fun is getting it to work, then you fill it up with homebrew, then you set it aside to never touch again.

 

[Tommi84]

Curiousn o see if the latest flashcart for Switch 1 will work with Switch 2

 

[Shake Your Rump]

Switch 2 having a card slot? I chuckled.

I think it will option 3, but it will be a Mini Direct that will announce the Fire Emblem 4 remake and dates for the LM2 and TYYD remakes.

You think it will be a download only console?

"Script kiddy"

I don't mean to trivialize coding at all. It's an incredible skill.

Those who know just enough to take other people's scripts and use them for their own garbage ends (which is my understanding of the term "script kiddy") though, that's pretty trivial.

It damn sure better.
