October 9th 2024.
It's that time again - the time for a new console to be announced. According to an insider, Nintendo's highly-anticipated next console will finally be unveiled this year, following the reveal of a completely unexpected piece of hardware.
If you needed more evidence that Nintendo is one of the most unpredictable companies out there, here it is. Just as everyone was eagerly speculating about the new console, Nintendo surprised us all by announcing a brand new alarm clock instead. Some may see this as a clever act of trolling, while others may simply view it as a coincidence. But either way, it comes at a time when various insiders have been hyping up this month as the time for the successor to the Switch to be revealed. Nintendo has only stated that the console will be shown before April 1, leaving us all in suspense as to whether it will be this year or next.
Despite the announcement of the "Alarmo," PH Brazil has reaffirmed that Nintendo's next console will indeed be announced in 2024. In a recent post on Famiboards, Lippe, who has been correct about past Nintendo Direct dates, wrote, "I haven't heard anything about the clock today, and I'm still Team 2024." This statement comes after months of Lippe insisting that the next console will be revealed in October or November of this year, with a launch date set for 2025 - following the pattern of the original Switch reveal.
While the release of an alarm clock may not have any direct impact on the likelihood of a Switch 2 reveal this year, some argue that it could potentially affect Switch sales this holiday season, especially with highly anticipated games like Super Mario Party Jamboree and Mario & Luigi: Brothership on the horizon. There has been speculation that the announcement could happen as soon as this Thursday, October 10, but at this point, it seems highly unlikely.
Whenever Nintendo does decide to unveil its next console, the anticipation couldn't be any higher. We have now reached the point where every social media post from Nintendo is analyzed for any hints towards the next generation. Some are even speculating that a sequel to ARMS could be on the way based on a recent challenge video tweeted by the company. While it is a bit odd, as the game hasn't been mentioned in quite some time, there's really no reason to believe that there is any hidden meaning behind it.
Nintendo has yet to make any official announcements about its next console, or even confirm if it will be called the Switch 2. However, last month, images and technical specifications of the supposed console were leaked. The rumors suggest that the console will be backwards compatible and have similar power to the Xbox Series S, with magnetic Joy-Con controllers.
We will just have to wait and see if Nintendo does indeed announce its next console this year. With only a few weeks left in 2024, if it does happen, it will most likely be in the near future.
