In recent days, rumors surrounding the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 are legion. If the sources are not always very reliable, this is not the case of the one behind this new statement about the announcement date of the console.
The Nintendo Switch 2 should be made official this week!
The very famous insider NateTheHate once again took advantage of his podcast to share some information. According to its sources, Nintendo should lift the veil on the Nintendo Switch 2 this Thursday, January 16.
The big reveal would only focus on the console itself, and not the software. We should therefore not expect the first games to be presented.
“I've heard that the presentation itself will focus almost exclusively on the console itself. There will be no games present. There might be some gameplay on screen, depending on how the trailer is put together, but software won't be the focus. »
A second presentation would then take place in late February or early March, this time focusing on games. This information aligns perfectly with that of VGC, a media outlet which has also heard of a two-part reveal, a bit like the first Nintendo Switch ultimately.
VGC and NateTheNate also suggested that the console should be released sometime in May or June of this year. A new Mario Kart would accompany the console at launch, while a Mario 3D would be released at the end of 2025.
On the third-party games side, the console would be entitled to support from major publishers. For example, Final Fantasy VII Remake, Assassin's Creed Mirage and Sea of Thieves are in development for the Nintendo Switch 2, according to NateTheHate.
-Of course, all this information should be taken with a grain of salt and we hope that Nintendo will soon speak out to clarify all of this.
Why give credit to Nate The Hate?
We give credit to Nate The Hate because he has proven multiple times that he has top-notch confidential information about video games.
He notably predicted the announcement of a remake of Persona 3, the announcement of Alan Wake 2 at the Game Awards and above all he was the first to ignite the powder by mentioning Xbox's plans to release its games on d other platforms. He had thus announced in advance the release of Hi-Fi RUSH on PS5, or the release of Indiana Jones on PS5. Needless to say, in terms of reliability, it is very good!
