No need to push games for this time if it’s backwards compatible.

rafamills.bsky.social•43 days ago

At this point I treat all these leaks like when my 3 year old tries to argue some absolutely batshit kid stuff to me and I just tell her "okayyyyyy, if you say so"

nasleaf.eevee.center•43 days ago

Tom Warren (another considered highly credible leaker on the gaming leaks sub) corroborates this.

And now pyoro lol it's happening

javoleen.bsky.social•43 days ago

endyogaming.bsky.social•43 days ago

Finally, a Switch 2 rumor.

mrroche.bsky.social•43 days ago

i'lll believe it when i see it

therealyahya.bsky.social•43 days ago

lol it's OK, I will wait for the leaks to announce the games, not Nintendo

panfrogames.bsky.social•43 days ago

Please be real

squivvo.bsky.social•43 days ago

99% of switch 2 leakers give up on confirming dates before it ends up being this week for sure

dcsoda.bsky.social•43 days ago

I don’t know why you’d do this without software. The reason people buy hardware. But what do I know.

urahonky.bsky.social•43 days ago

Well if it says it runs all Switch games with better performance and faster loading then I'll definitely get one. I've been really wanting to go through Hyrule Warriors again but that framerate drop is too much now.

dcsoda.bsky.social•43 days ago

Oh it’s a buy for sure but I think you’d get people more excited showing some new games for it as well haha.

silver-phoenix.bsky.social•43 days ago

Taking lessons from Sony's short PlayStation 5 Pro reveal isn't the best way to introduce a system. Nintendo will tease games without showing a lineup.

mobiletortoise.bsky.social•43 days ago

Very excited, just want official stuff already that's not from leakers!

ita.ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.ooo•43 days ago

Will it have the Smellovision?

hsojlightfoot.bsky.social•42 days ago

I wish they'd hurry up. The rumors and leaks are getting out of control!

Not sure why but am skeptical they will reveal it this week.

himisterlee.bsky.social•43 days ago

I can think of one game they’ll definitely focus on in February

tigerbattails.bsky.social•43 days ago

I just want the next animal crossing, is that too much to ask?

rexuhnt.itch.io•43 days ago

Oh boy do I have news for you!

Man I really hope it’s real, just so it’s on my birthday
Would make it fun

kirvyx.bsky.social•43 days ago

Finally, i can die

ryanjones91.bsky.social•43 days ago

Awesomeness! I’m looking forward to seeing what it looks like

krizalid88.bsky.social•43 days ago

Praying for the Nintendo YouTubers so they can finally have food on their tables this week 👏🤲🙏

natopoppins.bsky.social•43 days ago

😭

redsutter.bsky.social•43 days ago

They can finally have something to do than skim Reddit posts and report them as news

timschel.bsky.social•43 days ago

This sounds like a terrible idea imo. The hardware will be the least interesting part of the launch

l0rdliberty.bsky.social•43 days ago

That's what happened with PS5 and PS5 Pro. And the first trailer was very hardware focused with the Switch 1.

timschel.bsky.social•43 days ago

That’s nice but Sony and Nintendo are very different companies and for a hardware revision it makes sense to discuss what differentiate the Pro version of the hardware from vanilla.

ret1cent.bsky.social•43 days ago

How do you format links like that on here?

fractalnebulae.bsky.social•43 days ago

I hope they will improve their steam integration, on previous devices it left a lot to be desired

dailek1968.bsky.social•43 days ago

Wait this company still exists?

eternalblue8.bsky.social•43 days ago

Still going since 1889. But yeah, of course they are? Switch has sold more than PS5 and Series X/S combined.

rexuhnt.itch.io•43 days ago

Sold more than the PS2 in the US as well, which is the best selling console ever worldwide

poopbutt5.bsky.social•43 days ago

why are you asking this

big-w.bsky.social•43 days ago

Sheen this is the fourth year in a row you’ve shown switch 2 leaks in class

shandy.posts.games•43 days ago

Thank you Nelson, I look forward to seeing it again next week

michealauston.bsky.social•43 days ago

based on all of the leaks and rumors it will literally just be a larger more powerful Switch, which is fine but will also make it the most boring hardware Nintendo has ever released so announcing without showing software is kind of dumb

tiagomfm.bsky.social•43 days ago

Would Nintendo reveal a gaming console without showing any new games? That would be weird.

zekexyzie.bsky.social•43 days ago

Reading from the VCG article, it could mean that there will be a reveal trailer first and then a presentation, just like with og Switch

towndarling.bsky.social•43 days ago

that’s how switch 1 worked. the trailer had some games in it but none were formally announced until january

jeremytn.bsky.social•43 days ago

If they do the two stage reveal, game stuff will be when they do the software. Why do a two stage reveal? No idea.

l0rdliberty.bsky.social•43 days ago

They did this last time. And PS5 and PS5 Pro did this too

tiagomfm.bsky.social•43 days ago

Didn't Sony reveal some new games for the PS5 back in 2020 like Marvel's Spider-Man Miles Morales and Horizon Forbidden West?

l0rdliberty.bsky.social•43 days ago

Yes but not in the very first presentation of the hardware. Out of all the companies in gaming, people shouldn't be complaining about Nintendo lacking in game production.

animustewshine.bsky.social•43 days ago

Oh boy, can't wait for a month of memes like these.

aang.wtf•43 days ago

funny as hell but for now we know we’re getting that yooka laylee game and microshaft said something about Halo going multiplat. also no news on prime 4 in a minute

dang-dude.bsky.social•43 days ago

saving this for future reference

sawazaki.bsky.social•43 days ago

I will follow with great interest....

eightbithero.bsky.social•43 days ago

Pro Controller 2 - $129.99

mintraccoon.bsky.social•43 days ago

Wondering if the switch 2 will have anything to compete against steam deck + emulator

strayyecho.bsky.social•43 days ago

👀

pedrodsouza.bsky.social•43 days ago

Confirma aí @phluttilippe.bsky.social 😂

yourstarboi.bsky.social•43 days ago

Nintendo be edging us, huh

trumpsbiggesthater.bsky.social•43 days ago

I CANT WAIT!

bartolbb.bsky.social•43 days ago

What hour? I don't want to watch it at work xD

noondragoon.bsky.social•43 days ago

It will be extremely funny when this doesn’t happen and Nintendo instead posts a launch trailer for DKCR on Thursday.

salamatpoo.bsky.social•43 days ago

ALARMOOOOOOOOO!!!!

iwraith.bsky.social•43 days ago

100%. How many times can people buy into these supposed leaks?

rexuhnt.itch.io•43 days ago

I might be wrong, but I think Nate the Hate has a really good track record

eightbithero.bsky.social•43 days ago

Because they often come from "reputable" sources. Meaning the source is: "dude, trust me."

milky6677.bsky.social•43 days ago

normally i'd trust nate but nintendo absolutely would prioritize advertising a 15 year old game over their next console

m3gab4tty.bsky.social•43 days ago

YEAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE MAY NOT HAVE HAD A GAME IN 22 YEARS BUT SURELY THIS WILL BE THE YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!! #F-ZERO #Switch2 #Switch2HasNoGames #F-ZEROGX #FZERO #Nintendo

cheshiredude.bsky.social•43 days ago

How much of the hardware can you really demonstrate without showing off the software made for it? I guess hypothetically they could show Switch 1 games with no frame dips...

divector.bsky.social•43 days ago

I anticipate it'll be like the Switch 1 reveal in October 2016, where they just gave little snippets of Mario Odyssey without showing Cappy, the capture mechanic, or the name.
