Tbf, if it doesn't get announced tonoght, i'll get to seriously doubt about H1 release
It's not going to be announced lol, at best we'll get a nonanswer if an investor happens to ask.Tbf, if it doesn't get announced tonoght, i'll get to seriously doubt about H1 release
I know it's not going to be announced but at least acknowledge that it's coming would be goodIt's not going to be announced lol, at best we'll get a nonanswer if an investor happens to ask.
they should. Playground Games, MachineGames, Undead Labs, so many good MS studios need new homesFunny thing is Nintendo probably wouldn’t buy.
Nintendo is weird like that most of the times
H1 release died when it didn’t get announced in January.Tbf, if it doesn't get announced tonoght, i'll get to seriously doubt about H1 release
Tomorrow and May are the last 2 chances for Nintendo to acknowledge Switch 2 if the plans are for it to come this year. Hopefully it does get announced at either one of those time because I do not want to wait until 2025 for that thing.H1 release died when it didn’t get announced in January.
If the thing doesn’t get announced before April that would be when I start worrying if it will even come out this year.
I think it's unlikely but still possible for H1.H1 release died when it didn’t get announced in January.

What happens if preorders go live in H1 but release is in H2?I think it's unlikely but still possible for H1.
The big thing is that at some point the number of people who know about it's existence in a substantial way goes beyond a point where it can be kept relatively quiet. I think that's about 4 months before retail partners need know to get all their advertising in order for preorders and such. Once they're properly informed, it's very difficult to keep things under wraps. If it's acknowledged tonight, it can still be H1. A week between January and now won't make a difference.
Then it is H2. I'm really sure it's not going to come out before my early June birthday.What happens if preorders go live in H1 but release is in H2?
Everybody wins?
Pokemon is tricky. There's much money to be made on PC but it also sells consoles.Sony is releasing first party PC games after 1-2 years.
Microsoft (allegedly) will start releasing first party multiplatform games after 1-2 years and PC versions day 1.
Nintendo?
I wouldn't rule out a Nintendo being pressured to do "something" by shareholders/fans if the above two situations make them big money and do not devalue their hardware business. Maybe around the time Switch 3 talk picks up. My guess is Nintendo releasing some "choice" games on PC. Like Fire emblem, Clubhouse games, Advance Wars, and Pikmin. Way less of a chance but Animal Crossing, Splatoon, and pokemon would also be great candidates. Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Kirby are all staying exclusive forever.
For a Switch 2, leaks don't really have to happen during manufacture. Switch Lite it was inevitable (with pictures and everything!), but if Switch 2 looks like a Switch with a new motherboard and slightly larger screen, then there's not a lot for a funcle to take pictures of.I expect the reveal to happen right before they start mass production, which IMO would happen 5 months before launch.
Do we know when the Switch started mass production? Was there anything about it on the gigaleak?
I guess a warehouse worker could take pictures of new boxes. Does anyone remember how far ahead of the TotK OLED model we had pictures?
No.... No leaks?Y'know I got gotta ask where are Nintendo manufacturing these next gen hardware, is it on the moon? No other company product is this hidden. It supposedly comes out this year but no damn leaks.
Nintendo is pretty good at no leaks. There are ninjas and everything.Y'know I got gotta ask where are Nintendo manufacturing these next gen hardware, is it on the moon? No other company product is this hidden. It supposedly comes out this year but no damn leaks.
All this doom and gloom and we're all of a week into February, not even.
161, trust the process.
What.People lack serious patience. It won't be announced now, again, I'm well aware of a deadline of Q2 2024 for "software" coming to next gen hardware which means an announcement/reveal/direct will occur around then, Q4 2024 release is the expectation from that point, typical holiday release for a typical holiday blow-out sales wise.
2024 is the intended release year as I've been saying and it hasn't changed, it's still on track. You'll be hearing even more news and seeing more fire each month as we get closer.
Trust the process.
And do what with them exactly is what Nintendo would be asking.they should. Playground Games, MachineGames, Undead Labs, so many good MS studios need new homes
You mean July 1st? June is still H1What.
Oh, no, I'm calling for patience but I'm still on Team H1, even purely going off the facts we know it's pretty reasonable.
I'll leave Team H1 on June 1st 0:00, per usual.
Haven’t we already had multiple “acknowledgements” of existence already though?Nintendo is pretty good at no leaks. There are ninjas and everything.
I think the pattern will be something like:
1) Substantial leak (factory shots or a game developer saying way too much)
2) Acknowledgement of existence
3) Reveal 4 months before launch.
Steps 1 & 2 are optional.
If we don't hear tonight/tomorrow of an acknowledgement though, I don't expect us to hear until May or June. Those three steps can be really close together, but if they say they can't confirm or deny tonight, then announce in 3 days, some shareholders are going to be pissed.
I don't think it ever had a chance of being a H1 release. The reports from Gamescom last year all said it was targeting H2 and I'm pretty sure by "sooner" they meant the sooner part of the H2 window not before H2.Tbf, if it doesn't get announced tonoght, i'll get to seriously doubt about H1 release
I think that at most we've gotten something along the lines that they're "always working on new hardware". My memory sucks though.Haven’t we already had multiple “acknowledgements” of existence already though?
Mmm... I have my limits.You mean July 1st? June is still H1
3-4 year cycle strikes me as "too soon". We're already at the point of diminishing returns for graphical fidelity, so I think it makes sense to see longer lifecycles comparable to Switch 1's.The thing to me is that they're working on defining what Switch 3 will be now and Switch 2 isn't even announced. In fact, they're probably defining 2 different post generation 2 Switches. One for a 3-4 year cycle and another for a 7 year cycle. They'll probably decide which one it is within a year of launching Switch 2. They're looking at roadmaps for TSMC and NVidia and ARM and working out when it will be worth the disruption to put out something new to continue to compete with Sony and Apple for everyone's time and money.
They've also already planned Switch 2 Lite, Switch 2 Home, and Switch 2 XL if they exist.
I don't disagree. I just think they like to have options open. I think it was a distinct possibility for Switch 1. I thought we were going to get more clock options when the Mariko variant launched. I guess it depends on whether it's a distinct generation or more like phone generations. Maybe a 3-4 year upgrade is higher clocks and 4 more CUs on a smaller node with no other real changes.3-4 year cycle strikes me as "too soon".

No. Future hardware has always been posed as a hypothetical by Furukawa.Haven’t we already had multiple “acknowledgements” of existence already though?
In 5 and a half hours everyone go ape shit and act like the Switch 2 was announcedI'm going to sleep. When I get up, I want the numer of pages of this thread to be 2400. I want hundreds of posts cheering because Furukawa finally ackowledged Switch 2. That's the only reality I allow to exist.
That said, good night/evening/day to everyone.
He’s gone full heel....why is shareholder chad the joker now? Lol
the process mentioned.Meaning of Seeing Angel Number 161
If you keep seeing Angel Number 161, it is a strong sign that your angels and the Universe are working with you to bring your dreams to reality. Trust in the process and have faith that everything will fall into place. Your angels are urging you to stay positive, optimistic, and keep your thoughts, words, and actions aligned with your higher purpose.

Ok, well assuming that doesn't happen, when will the information be released publicly?It’s when the actual meeting will take place but if they make a significant announcement you can count on it ending up in the press right away if not on Nintendo’s official social media channels.
many first party games are about to go multiplatform on nintendo and playstationThis might be slightly off-topic, but what is happening to Xbox?
Previous rumors about Hi-Fi Rush going multiplat have turned into "basically everything is going multiplat" then into "Xbox is going third-party". Phil Spencer said in response that there's going to be a "business update" next week on the "future of Xbox" which has certainly not inspired public confidence.This might be slightly off-topic, but what is happening to Xbox?
That's effectively redesigning the SoC, considering CUs on AMD GPUs are analogous to SMs on Nvidia GPUs. At that point, might as well upgrade the RAM controller in the SoC, especially with Samsung targeting 2026 for LPDDR6.Maybe a 3-4 year upgrade is higher clocks and 4 more CUs on a smaller node with no other real changes.
I’m going back in time to tell the kid who told me “Mario would be on Xbox before halo is on Nintendo”many first party games are about to go multiplatform on nintendo and playstation
Press the image button then insert image link. Search engines will have an "open image in new tab" button for you to copy the URL. As for screenshots, I just use Discord to DM the images to my alt account.For future purposes how do people post memes and gifs here?
uh we don’t do that here, you must be thinking of the Nintendo Switch 2 Speculation ThreadFor future purposes how do people post memes and gifs here?
Typically it's mid afternoon Japan time, so should be in another 2-3 hours.What time is the investors meeting?
4 hours and 13 minutes from now approximately, if I'm not mistaken, but that's just the start time. We may not know much if anything for hours afterwards.Typically it's mid afternoon Japan time, so should be in another 2-3 hours.
