So the Brazil Nintendo leaker said

- Multiple Nintendo presentations were pushed up to August from September
- Switch 2 news will come after

And in the final 2 weeks of August we got a Nintendo Musuem Direct, Partner Showcase + Indie World

Yeah Switch 2 reveal next month lmao

This complicated things a bit…price cut could save NSW, but reveal prior to holiday (and even Zelda?) seems fatal.

Context: This Brazilian leaker was very insistent on there being a Nintendo Direct for August (not just the museum direct). I believe the leaker also has a very consistent record, but I would need to double check on this. In short, this is certainly a leak worth taking very seriously.

I don’t think a Switch 2 reveal/tease in September would necessarily do a ton of harm to Switch’s holiday sales. You have to remember that the type of person buying a console in its 8th year is not likely to be the same type of person buying a consoles in its launch year.

Agree. Also parents are not going to tell the kids Santa is going to be 6 months late. If they want to buy Nintendo for their kids they are going to pick up the Switch regardless if the successor has been unveiled or not.
