They’re going to hold until January. Nintendo won’t be “forced” to do anything.

Agreed. It doesn't matter how much ends up leaking, they're just going to keep quiet and hope the people buying a Switch 1 for Christmas aren't in the news loop.

Anyone buying a Switch this Christmas isn’t the type to buy a Switch 2 next year anyway.

Not saying it’ll happen, but if it turns out that the Switch 2 is close enough to the Series S to get GTA 6 the internet is going to explode.

Seems like an early January trailer isn’t off the table then. Some people have said the 8th.

I hope we get an announcement soon.....I've been waiting for this system for two years

It all sounds pretty good but would love to just see the action plan with things like the online, how old switch games will work on the new system, will the power allow more third party games like Marvel Rivals? Do we have to start over again with older games on the online service like NES/Gameboy/N64 because my god, I hope not its time to move forward into gamecube, DS and what not. But these are the things I'd like to know about along with whats the next Mario game that will hopefully come out with or near launch and after 10 years will we finally get a new mario kart?

They’ve already confirmed that Nintendo accounts and Switch Online will carry over as well as backwards compatibility. I doubt they’ll have to start over with the classic game collection for those that want it on their Switch 2.

I hope so but would like them to confirm it

Nintendo likes to reset what you own and the old VC libary...I've owned the OG Zelda like 10 times at this point

You don’t own the classic games on Switch which is why I’ve never subscribed. The fact that it’s subscription based actually incentivizes them to NOT start over because then the value of the subscription decreases drastically if you’re getting a Switch 2.

A consensus was reached online with the last pictures that the legally required logos are difficult to fake with 3D printing so it’s possible for these to be real as well.

Switch 2's gimmick is seemingly getting cleared out--and the answer is that they might be allowing you to use the Joy-con's as if they are a mouse for a PC.

Similar example of this (as teased by NextHandheld) is similar to that of a Lenovo Legion Go's Mouse Mode.
