The Switch 2 is like The Boy who Cried Wolf for me, big rumors swirl up every year. It might be legit this time, maybe the sources are better, but I just can't get invested until a Nintendo Direct.

    I'm inclined to agree with you, but at the same time we know it must happen eventually.

    At this point I imagine Nintendo is feeling pressure to make their next console as they've had to contend with Android projects spinning up to emulate the console's already weak hardware. Why own a switch when you can take a phone, slap on a pair of controllers and call it day?

    Before it was rumors, now we know they've send out dev kits, huge difference. They officially said no to a new console before end of 2023, which leaves us with early 2024, again it's consistent with what we know of the dev/release cycle. Of course every wannabe leaker can say there's an upcoming Switch2, because of course there will be.
