So a April or May release is imminent.

Late as June as well.

This summer is gonna be awesome!

Now will we see the game announcements from 3rd parties or they will hold for the Nintendo Direct?

Games are going to be announced still - will likely showcase "Switch 2" in their trailers instead of the generic "Next nintendo system" like two other indie games did.

Rareware/Retro studios DK RIP

I think June is the earliest it would release, based on the date of the Direct and the time span of the hands-on events.  They're not going to hit us with all the info at once and be like, "And it's out in a couple weeks!" And they're not going to continue hands-on events into early June if it's already out and people can just buy one.

But a summer release would be great!

I dont even know why I put April in my last post lmao

But ya, this will be a huge hit in the Summer.

Looks close enough to him. Must be trying to follow the Mario movie Donkey Kong's design.

It looks closer to a recent promo art they made.

I think a June release date sounds about right.
