If mass production started in late Oct/early November I'm saying a launch in May, maybe June 2025.

Unveil time is up to Nintendo, but like I said I think a Superbowl commercial worked well for them last time, a Superbol commercial worked well for the Super Mario movie which Nintendo treated like a big launch too.

I think they will go back to that well as Nintendo is somewhat predictable in that regard. If something works out for them, they repeat it until it doesn't work any more.

So Superbowl being Feb. 9th, that probably means you have to unveil prior to that. It doesn't really matter once Christmas is over, they've gotten through the holidays and given the Switch its token last holiday, the longer production goes along the higher the chance of an unauthorized leak too.

The other thing that's making me go "hmmm" is an awful lot of Chinese based Switch 2 accessories are already starting to leak out. Cases, screen protectors, travel cases, etc.

And these are not just Switch/Switch OLED cases, the dimensions are completely different for a much larger system as are the designs with have openings for things like a top USB charging port (something the Switch 1 doesn't have).

More case leaks for the Switch 2. 

You can see the new release buttons for the magnetic Joycons there. This one is from D-Brand. 

After yeasterday we can say it won't even be teased in 2024! Like i predicted!

i feel it's a safe bet to say Nintendo's gonna reveal their next system on Christmas Day (as I had predicted). No shot they're gonna hold out until 2025.

24.12.2024? Never Ever! Bet?

IMO early January, around time CES 2025 takes place.

Seconded! I’m in for $20! There is a zero percent chance Nintendo would announce anything other than joyous tidings on Christmas Day. 

12.25.2024. And you wanna bet? How bout $1,000,000,000 USD? i am THAT confident! *fingers crossed*

You don't wanna lose money you don't have. I would never do such bets without lawyers. Because i would really want that money if one lost. I would really love 1,000,000,000$. But i prefere it in €. Some guys even bet that Switch Up would come out in march 2023. You cannot imagine how many dinners, Mc Donalds meals... i already won😂🤣.
