October 7th 2024.
Are fans getting their hopes up for nothing? It seems that leaks are still going around about the possibility of a Switch 2 reveal in early October. And now, some fans are convinced that Nintendo has given a hint about the exact date.
In the world of video games, it's not uncommon for things to be leaked before their official announcements. However, Nintendo seems to be an exception, with very few rumors actually turning out to be true. But despite this, multiple leakers have claimed that the unveiling of the Switch 2 will happen in early October.
There's no concrete evidence to support this claim, but PH Brazil has reiterated that the Switch 2 will indeed be announced this year. This is despite many people assuming that Nintendo would wait until 2025 to avoid discouraging potential buyers during the holiday season.
Although Lippe has been accurate with his leaks in the past, it's important to note that his track record is not perfect. He made these comments on the Famiboards forum, where fans were feeling disappointed that October had arrived and there was still no announcement.
Another unreliable source, Paul Gale Network, has also hinted at a possible reveal on October 10. This is based on the fact that most Nintendo Directs (their online presentation format) take place on Thursdays. However, it's unlikely that Nintendo would want to make a major announcement on or immediately after the release of Super Mario Party Jamboree, which is coming out on October 17.
Trying to predict Nintendo's moves using logic is usually a futile effort, and yet just a day after the rumor about October 10 started circulating, Nintendo published a tweet promoting the upcoming game Mario & Luigi: Brothership. The tweet shows Mario and Luigi falling and the text reads "10/10 landing." Some fans have taken this as a hint that the rumors about October 10 are accurate.
However, it's more likely that this is just Nintendo of America's social media team having a bit of fun with fans. After all, giving hints is not something that Nintendo typically does. It could also just be a coincidence.
What we do know for sure is that Nintendo has announced that the new hardware will be unveiled before April of next year. But they have yet to reveal any details about how or when this will happen.
With the upcoming release of Super Mario Party Jamboree, some fans are wondering if this will influence the reveal of the Switch 2. Will Nintendo want to overshadow the launch of this highly anticipated game? Only time will tell.
