I know his source for this tweet, basically the source gave him fake info about devkits just now going out, ("final" hardware devkits have been going out for months, and been able to be built since August/September last year). Hours after this source shared the information with the "leaker" he tweeted that... He isn't validating his sources at all. We only should trust 1 source for all our hard facts, and that of course... is
@10k
Anyways, yeah that tweet is fake info, sorry I didn't see this, was actually told by the source mentioned above, that reddd mentioned me in a post. Right now information is going to be slow, production should be starting very soon if it does come out this year, but it should be this FY (ending exactly a year from now) however, I do think the end of this calendar year makes the most sense. People attribute Nintendo Switch's success as releasing in March instead of the holidays, which just is a hindsight problem, Switch could have easily sold 5 Million more units by the end of March 31st 2018 had they of released Holiday 2016, The reality is that holidays just have more space on retail floors because of holidays using endcaps, putting pallets on the floors and just filling up inventory in general, it literally is the difference between ~3 and ~5 million sales in a launch month.
Why I am so confident here, is that there is no known games after Pikmin 4, except MP4 which we have yet to see... The next direct will be brand new announcements and never seen before games, more over, Nintendo has a solid holiday, or they wouldn't have dropped MP1 in February for $39.99, the anniversary month which Nintendo has celebrated in the past is August, and if they had announced MP1 for August 2023 at $49.99, it would make a lot more sense than shadow dropping it at the end of a direct, digital only, for $39.99...
They also wanted the release to be positively received, and as a remaster/remake, they wanted it to look great, but if Drake were to be announced before it's release, people would have had too high of expectations for it, because MP1 was clearly done a long time ago, it was never meant for Drake, so at best, it would get a patch to run 4K, but assets and graphics were designed around Switch limitations, thus it wouldn't satisfy if Drake was on the market already, without going back and reworking it.
Drake is happening shortly, my GUESS is that we will see it in late June, during a digital event where they show off a bunch of games, and a launch this October or November, likely with 3D Mario, Zelda DLC, MK8D patch (among other evergreens), and Call of Duty, which I suspect Microsoft has asked Activision to port to the new hardware since they received final devkits. The current Switch will likely get a cloud version, as the Switch cloud company has a contract with Microsoft for Call of Duty over the next 10 years as well, in fact, in a weird way, the current Switch could see cloud versions of Call of Duty for the next 10 years... I think CoD Mobile and Warzone will also come to Switch as local versions of the franchise. Again, this is all just speculation, but yes "Switch 2" is probably being revealed this Summer, for this Holiday, and people who think it will come in Spring have to really ask themselves why Nintendo has nothing announced/dated after July, except for Metroid Prime 4, which is almost certainly not coming this year.
