Nintendo Switch 2 Will be Revealed On January 16th, According to Multiple People

At
this
point,
it’s
hilarious
how
many
leaks
the

Nintendo

Switch
2
has
suffered
from.
Various
accessory
makers
and
insiders
have
shown
off
bits
of
the
hardware,
to
the
point
that
Nintendo
lawyers
reportedly
confronted
one
manufacturer
at
CES.
We
all
know
it’s
coming,
and
Nintendo
themselves
confirmed
an
announcement
would
happen
before
March
31st.
Well,
guess
what,
my
friends,
that
announcement
is
coming
in
just
a
few
days.

Well,
that’s
what
several
people
and
websites
are
saying,
anyway.
Insider
Nate
the
Hate
today
released
the
latest
episode
of
his
podcast,
and
at
the
18-minute
mark
had
this
to
say:
“I
have
been
told
the
Switch
2
will
be
revealed
on
Thursday,
January
16th.”

Nate
goes
on
to
say
that
he’s
also
heard
some
details
about
what
will
be
in
the
reveal,
but
he
considers
them
incomplete
“because
it
just
doesn’t
make
sense
to
me.”

Nate
says
that
he’s
heard
the
reveal
will
focus
“almost
exclusively
on
the
console
itself.”
According
to
Nate,
games
will
be
almost
nonexistent
in
the
reveal,
aside
from
maybe
being
shown
running
on
the
machine.

The
Switch
was
revealed
in
the
same
way
in
2016,
with
a
hardware-focused
trailer
being
released
first.
While
games
were
shown
running
on
the
machine,
such
as
Mario
Odyssey,
they
were
not
officially
revealed
until
later
on.


Last
week,
Nate
the
Hate
also
claimed
that
titles
like
Halo:
The
Master
Chief
Collection
and
Microsoft
Flight
Simulator
are
going
to
launch
on
PS5
and
Switch
2.

Since
Nate’s
podcast,
several
other
outlets
and
people
have
come
forth
to
say
they
have
heard
the
same
things.

The
Verge
has
backed
up
Nate’s
claims,
and
offered
more
details
on
exactly
what’s
going
to
happen
:
“We
believe
the
likely
sequence
of
events
will
be
an
announcement
on
January
15th,
with
the
actual
reveal
taking
place
the
following
day,
so
you
better
clear
up
your
schedules.”

Tom
Warren
from
The
Verge
said
something
similiar
on
X:
“in
case
it
wasn’t
obvious
from
my
tease
in
Notepad
last
week,
I’ve
heard
it
should
be
the
Switch
2
reveal
this
week”

Meanwhile,

Eurogamer
claims
these
whispers
have
been
building
all
week

and
that
Nate
was
simply
the
first
to
voice
them:
“Industry
whispers
Eurogamer
has
heard
over
the
past
week
have
coalesced
around
a
reveal
this
Thursday,
16th
January,
with
a
focus
on
the
much-leaked
console
itself,
rather
than
a
deep
dive
into
its
software
line-up.”

VGC
doesn’t
seem
able
to
corroborate
Nate’s
claims
that
the
Switch
2
will
be
revealed
this
week,

but
do
say
that
his
speculation
about
a
May-June
release
is
what
they
have
also
heard.

It’s
important
to
remember
that
we
don’t
know
the
exact
source
Nate
and
these
other
outlets
have,
meaning
it
could
be
a
singular
source
sharing
information
with
all
of
them,
making
it
less
reliable.
Or
it
could
be
multiple
sources
saying
the
same
thing,
which
would
be
far
more
compelling.

However,
given
the
sheer
amount
of
leaks
surrounding
the
Switch
2
already
and
the
closeness
of
the
supposed
announcement
date,
I
feel
like
Nate’s
information
is
probably
accurate.

We
will
know
for
sure
in
just
a
few
short
days.
