Once there was a very wise man and he said

Yes this exactly. Well, I think it might be like May/June launch instead of April/May, but somewhere in the mid to late Spring seems like the likely launch time. And yeah I really don't see them revealing it before Christmas as there is no reason to shoot Switch holiday sales in the foot. January reveal for sure cuz once the holidays are done there is no reason to sit on it any longer. And yeah then Feb blowout to get people all excited for it. Ya wanna entice people with the reveal, let the excitement simmer for a bit, and then blow the top off with the blowout, with the launch just like 3 months away.

In another thread I predicted Oct 25th as the date for the reveal of the Switch 2. I pulled that one completely out of my ass. Because of this very reliable source, I will stand by my prediction, so the Switch 2 will definitely be revealed this month.

Nope, they are going to announce it after the holidays as not to hurt sales of Switch 1 for christmas

I want to believe.... we need some new stuff to spice things up again.

Sadly this is more likely.
One last hurray for the first Switch.... so they can profit as much as possible from it, before ditching it for the new one.

I hope no

Switch needs last Christmas/ holidays !
Get those +160 million sales

Here for end January / early February announcement with Super Bowl advertising!!


Mario Kart 9 here we go!!

Nah, can't fathom why. Might as well focus on the switch for this holiday season.

I think it's pretty up in the air if it'll happen or not but that part hasn't really mattered much before though. The DS still sold really well in 2010 despite the 3DS reveal so I think this aspect is overstated in terms of importance. For the Switch the Switch 2 coming out next year has become increasingly known about the past several months so there's already gonna be an increasing number of people holding out for it. A reveal video would only have a small impact on Switch sales at this point. 

One reason is the Switch 2 reveal video could cause a boost to software sales even if only slight. If it has a bit of gameplay of the next 3D Mario game in it that'll bring some attention to Mario Odyssey for example and in general it'll bring positive attention and PR Nintendo's way and cause a notable surge in discussion about the company and their products. Could also maybe boost their stock a bit as well.

I actually voted for "probably."

All I'm betting on is that the Switch 2 reveal/sizzle reel will happen before February 28th because I believe that Monster Hunter Wilds will be featured in the trailer, allowing Nintendo a full checkmate in Japan.

The Switch 2 reveal is always just 10 days away.
