This is the first I've heard of Famiboards also.

And even these rumblings are hardly what I'd call insightful.

I mean the latest relevant news it has is that Nintendo is hiring for a 3D Software Engineer. So they're hiring more people, which we already knew they were doing when we heard straight from them that they're spending ~$900 million on software development and expanding into another building to take more development in house. Which is great, but I don't see how any of that leads to "We'll see a Switch successor in 2022." 

Some usually reliable insiders say dev kits for new hardware have been out there for a while. It's just not clear if it's positioned as a successor or a revision.

If I remember correctly, Nintendo said that they had no plans for another Switch revision after the OLED.

But no, we have Splatoon 3, BOTW2 and Metroid Prime 4 coming to Switch next year (or later in Metroid case). There's no reason to release a successor in 2022 and I don't think Nintendo is that dumb.
