It looks like the systems are being produced right now.

[kevboard]

if it's in production, it's only a matter of time now until one of the case parts and therefore the design gets leaked.

maybe even a fully assembled unit.

always happens.

Amazing times.

They'll have to put something out before it leaks so I'd say concep trailer sometime this month and a presentation at the top of next year would be the most logical.

I suspect a price cut for current models to keep sales closer to target on Q4

 

[Magic Carpet]

Would have been sooner but those new magnetic controllers kept getting stuck in the machines.

NX Controller Rumor [Up5: Original was fake, and thus this is too]

- Only the upper 'nubs' of the sticks move. The bottom part is static (kind of like the circle pad, but it moves along the bottom 'sphere'. - The rollers on the top feel and look pretty much identical to a mouse scroll-wheel. Though I do don't believe this will be the final design. - Haptic...

Don't be silly, nothing video game related was around 84 years ago /s.

good times... twitter went nuts, suddenly everyone was an FBI agent.

 

[DoubleClutch]

Lot of speculation. Not going to waste my time until I hear an official announcement from Nintendo.

 

[RodriGames40]

It's a matter of time before they unveil it. Third week of September and before the 27th seems like the range.

Apples announcement is the 16th. I bet then.

It cracks me up that all the fanboys were already preparing themselves to explain how much having no physical button but only haptics was going to be the most brilliant revolutionary idea ever.

 

[mariosbrother]

Spending money on production equipment != console is in production. Things take time to set up.

You gotta be a devout fanatic to buy that as a good idea. Touch is almost always the worst kind of control scheme.

 

[The Lunch Legend]

No way

 

[Deleted member 848825]

Do we know if this thing be capable of doing anything above 1080p 60fps? Last Nintendo I bought was an N64. Not really into handhelds, but want something that at least looks half decent on a modern 85" TV.

 

[Luipadre]

Exciting times. Nintendo is still pure and i love them for it

 

[The Mad Draklor]

I hope the hardware is half decent. It doesn't have to be a world beater, but enough to maintain stable framerates.

 

[Deleted member 848825]

The Lunch Legend I take it thats a no? lol

 

[clarky]

Why announce now for a march release? That would kill Christmas switch sales dead.

Surely a March announcement then release say next September makes muchore sense.

Or am i missing something?

There was a UI leak for the switch 2, it was posted and DMCA'd hella quick on every site including GAF

You know the Rog Ally and what it can do? Expect that, in an Nvidia wrapper.

At this point, Nintendo probably isn't expecting to light the sales chart on fire with switch sales this christmas. But they could.... sell preorders for the new console.

 

[ReBurn]

Make as many as you can Nintendo.

Yeah, not sure thats going to do it for me. We'll see. I'd love a mega powerful Nintendo for once. I guess PC emulation would be the only way.

Gonna have to make a home console for that, because handhelds in general kind of have peaked around there. At least DLSS will be there to help unlike trash FSR.

That's what they did with the original Switch.

 

[mystech]

Well it's up to Nintendo now... Either we get an official announcement or we get some major manufacturing leaks. Either way, if its true mass production has begun, we will probably see the Switch 2 before October.

Now that's exciting! Yaya

How does that make sense, it's another 6 month window. Switch sales are cooling off, they need to announce to keep share holders happy.

This. We'll probably get an announcement before mass production begins.

It would make sense if they were willing to wait a whole other year for a successor, but I think that would be a mistake.

 

[kazuyamishima]

4K and 60fps machine, similar to PS5 specs.

at just $399.

Letzzz Gooooo.......... Lol!

 

[cripterion]

They need to announce something good. Someone needs to light a fire under Sony's arrogant ass, fuckers increase the price of the Dual Sense again in France by 5€...

 

[Kagero]

You're all to blame. You keep gobbling up switches like hotcakes. Little incentive for Nintendo to upgrade. Switch is the worst system I own. The load times are atrocious.

 

[gothmog]

The switch successor hype train keeps on rolling.

Original Switch Trailer dropped on Oct 20...hopefully get something between now and then.

 

[vlojomsombeauwater]

That's what they did with the original Switch.

true but trying to get the switch out asap coming off the wii u feels a lot different than doing a switch 2 after the switch has been a mega success and return to form for nintendy

 

[Trelane]

[E-Cat]

True, but it doesn't feel like it. Subjectively, it's been like 2 years in 'late teens' years.

It's awesome getting old!

 

[Kacho]

Switch 2 is going to reinvigorate the console market. Can’t wait.

Awesome!! Hoping for a March 2025 release!!

As soon as it goes into Mass Production, the whole thing will leak. Best to show it on your own terms.

 

[Sooner]

Along with 100 fake ones. And everyone is positive the actual real one is fake.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

I don’t think this really matters a whole lot.

A) it could just be one last revision of Switch

B) even if it is Switch 2, it’s not coming before March 2025.
