Is today really the big day?
Let’s find out together.
What’s the situation right now?
Why is everybody expecting the Switch 2 reveal today?
“I can share with you that Nintendo Switch 2 will be revealed in the coming week…
I have been told Switch 2 will be revealed on Thursday, January 16,said Nate the Hate.
“I’ve heard that the reveal itself is going to focus almost exclusively on the console itself.
There is not going to be any presence of games.
Which is all to say that there’s still a lot of noise.
Naturally, the second we hear anything firm we will let you know!
How did Nintendo reveal the original Switch?
Nintendo unveiled the original Nintendo Switch on October 20, 2016.
The company is historically tight-lipped, operating on its own time and under its own rules.
“We would hear 30-minute lectures [on] the value of surprise,“says Kit Ellis.
Hopefully an official reveal will finally put an end to the chaos.
What could the Switch 2 launch lineup look like?

Any thoughts on that logo?
Backwards compatibility
Wait, is that Mario Kart 9?
Mystery button…?
But in the official material for the Nintendo Switch 2, that button appears to still be there.
So, what does this one do, then?
OK, but when can we buy it, Nintendo?
If history repeats itself, that would mean Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders would begin on April 2 as well.
Whatever the case, it does appear to have been changed.
What’s that I USB-C there?
As staff writer Dustin Bailey notes, maybe this means more flexibility on accessories.
Does the Nintendo Switch 2 turn Joy-Cons into computer mice?
What kind of games could make use of using two computer mice at once?
But it’s somewhat exciting to daydream about.
That is, of course, assuming that the various promotional materials released so far as at equal scale.
Is Joy-Con drift finally over?
It zooms in, we seem them rotate around, and more.
Maybe Nintendo’s actually upgraded the hardware here to prevent similar issues from cropping up with the new console?
If the Joy-Cons really are Mouse-Cons… ## Are we looking at a summer launch for the Switch 2?
His case is admittedly tenuous, but also compelling.
