So today, you can have eggplants smack you in the face because you know that's healthy if you subscribe. Don't worry folks, we didn't forget the Oreos either. We have a new rumor today in regards to Nintendo Switch 2. In fact, the rumor comes from multiple sources. So it's pretty rare that we have a single rumor with multiple places that it's actually coming from. And that's one reason why I really want to talk about this today when it comes to Nintendo Switch 2 because it does make the Nintendo Switch 2 sound like it's coming much sooner than any of us anticipated. It also looks like we might be getting a major Switch 2 blowout coming up this January if the rumors are true. As always, rumors are not facts. So this isn't Nintendo announcing anything. This is for speculation and fun, but also, hey, it's a possibility and we'll just have to wait and see what plays out. So what are we waiting for? Let's dive right in. So this first part comes from a person on Twitter known as Zuby underscore tech. And again, remember, I said there's multiple sources on this so this isn't the only place. Now who is Zuby underscore tech because we've literally never talked about him on our channel before. Well, he's a tech enthusiast, but so am I. So I mean, what does that even mean? I'm a tech enthusiast. Doesn't mean I know what the hell's going on, but he's actually really well known for his coverage of PlayStation. He is not a journalist, nor is he a content creator of any kind, but he is a big PlayStation fan. Now he has said some things over the years that came true. Of course, none of it that's relevant to us because it's always been about PlayStation systems and games and is followed by some prominent folks in the video game industry. Don't believe me. Check out this list. And I only know this because I also follow these people. Genki, Exmuter, Shinobi 602. How about the origin PC CEO, Dreamcast guy? And how about this one? This one really got me. Herman Holst. He is the literal lead of PlayStation Studios. It's a pretty big person to get to follow you. And of course, digital foundry. It's because a lot of this stuff he puts out there tends to come true. I won't go as far as to call him a Nate the hate of PlayStation rumors, but he's known to be reliable in many cases for PlayStation. So what does this actually have to do with Nintendo? Well, he's not put out a new rumor based on things he has heard in regards to Nintendo Switch 2. I do not know how he has contacts that know anything about Nintendo's plans since he is so focused on PlayStation. But again, we have multiple sources here. But he clearly has contacts in the video game industry and maybe this was floated across their desk. I don't know. So let's get to what he put out there in a post. Rumor, Nintendo Switch 2 launching early next year. Nintendo event in January. Now folks, that already sounds really, really interesting. But we need to put out a little context to this one account before we move on to the next source for this rumor. So of course there have been many who have been quick to point out that this guy has publicly trashed the rumored specs of Nintendo Switch 2. And with how the biggest takeaways in a response being that ARM, the CPU, is trashed, of course letting us see his fanboyism for Sony shying through. Since ARM is actually one of the single best mobile CPU architectures in the entire world and there are much better performance than AMD and Intel on lower powered devices. So no, ARM is not factually trashed or people won't keep using it. It doesn't make what he is reporting untrue, just noting that he took a pot shot at rumored specs without seemingly any direct knowledge of what any of those specs actually mean. Just noting this overall. He's a blatant Sony fanboy. If this was all I had, I may not have even made this video because frankly, this could just be one epic troll to attempt to get coverage by people like me just so he can drop a lol's fake tweet later trying to trash Nintendo again. However, we do have an actual second source on this from somebody who seems to be pretty reputable. This comes from ex user Revegenus who does follow semiconductor production and development closely at Samsung and he does do a lot of interesting reports on X on this stuff on his account. And he said the following. It looks like Nintendo Switch 2 will be coming out early next year. There will be a lot worth buying in the coming year. Now keep in mind, he does have a history of leaks and they're typically for the mobile phone side of things and he has proven to be pretty accurate with these leaks in the past in regards to Samsung devices. He has no real reason to out of nowhere dabble in the Nintendo Switch 2 leaks given his audience. But if Samsung is the one manufacturing the chips then it's possible his sources gave him some legit info. This user has shown no ill will unlike the prior one towards other companies and their specs and designs. He's just really into Samsung mobile and seemingly has good sourcing on their upcoming chips in phones and other devices. It's probably a Samsung fanboy if that's even a thing but not someone going out of their way to trash competition like a typical fanboy would. So that's one thing that I'll always clear when it comes to fanboyism is fanboyism often means that not just that you're some mega fan of a company but you're quick to trash everybody else and that's one thing when people call me a fanboy I find completely frustrating because I play games on all platforms and I only offer criticism on other platforms when I deem that criticism as warranted and the company I give the most criticism to is the company I'm claimed to be a mega fanboy of here in Nintendo. So it's a little bit ironic but neither here nor there. The point is these Nintendo switch to rumors are coming from multiple places. One of them seems a bit more reputable. The other one's really really good with PlayStation rumors but is very clearly a Sony fanboy and has no problem taking potshots at things he doesn't understand. So that might sour your take on him a little bit but the whole point is I don't care if people are fanboys. I care about accurate information and again these are just rumors. So obviously as rumors they're unverifiable and questionable in accuracy in the first place. Obviously keep your skepticism put your tinfoil hats on if you want or whatever but these two individuals have proven to be fairly reliable in their separate spaces and now hey they're both saying something about Nintendo Switch 2. Now again when do I think Nintendo Switch 2 is coming? Look I've been beaten the drum on June or September as sort of my two target months for quite a while but if they're saying it's early and they keep saying early early early next year both these people. That doesn't sound like a June release because June is more like middle of 2024. When you hear early you're thinking hey maybe March first three months maybe the first four months of the year you know anywhere in that first third of the year which would be the you know January through April. That just sounds like early you know and obviously we have the one person noting Nintendo is going to do this blowout event in January that would mimic what Nintendo did with Nintendo Switch where while they technically revealed it in October of 2016 in January 2017 when they really had the full blowout event for Nintendo Switch 2. Now maybe they foregoed you know announcing Switch 2 earlier because again you know they still had a semi successful platform selling really really well and they wanted to keep those sales going during the holiday period and then right away in January you get an event out for Switch 2 followed by a quick release a couple of months later. Again this would mimic a lot of what Nintendo did with Nintendo Switch except not having that October reveal which again would make sense not to do it this time because unlike October of 2016 Nintendo actually has a console that are attempting to sell this holiday season the Wii U was discontinued at that point they were trying to sell the NES Classic and I know that Nintendo was worried that a Nintendo Switch reveal was going to gobble sales of a classic one-off system with a select group of games. So anyways it could just be that Nintendo just you know is doing the same timetable just without that announcement. So I'm not going to dismiss this as outright impossible. It would be unheard of for Nintendo Switch to announce and showcase a system in January and release it in March or April that's only two to three months of actual announcement to release hype. There has been some people who have been thinking that we're going to be taking a much shorter announcement to release you know the Nintendo's ever done before. Right now the shortest is the Nintendo Switch where they announced in October and released in March if you do the math. October, November, December, January, February, March it was a little bit over five months between announcement and release. So if you think about that it is entirely possible that Nintendo could conceivably shorten down that a little over five months to a little over three months you know or around three months if that's what they want to do. So again it's unheard of for Nintendo, Sony or Microsoft to announce and release a system that quickly. You know what other companies tend to do this sort of same thing? Well Nintendo's manufacturing partner in Samsung does it with their mobile phones they're announced shortly before you can buy them and then same thing with Apple in the tech industry they announce all their products like literally a few days before you can basically order them. So yeah let's just put it this way a lot of the tech industry works with a very short announcement to release Windows and if Nintendo looks at that and says hey I think we can do the same thing we have a mobile device why don't we announce you know announce something and then release it quickly after maybe they think that's actually something that's going to help them sell a lot more Nintendo Switch 2s instead of sitting there and doing a year of hype and then you know maybe it doesn't turn out as well. It would also explain why Nintendo has no big games announced for next year right now because hey they're going to do this January event and if they did do the January event that still leaves them the February Nintendo Direct so they can literally follow it up with back to back marketing events which could be absolutely insane and a very exciting start for Nintendo fans in 2024. Now again this could also mean that there's a tease at the game awards there could be a full reveal in January a small tease at the game awards you could be setting up a marketing campaign here that would be absolutely insane I don't know again these are just rumors and you know what at least with one of the rumors the one talking about a January event hey we're already in December so you fast forward a month and like a week or two from now and we'll already know if that event is really even a thing and I'm sure it's an event Nintendo would announce ahead of time not like a 24-hour notice thing that might be like hey next week tune in to blah blah blah for the reveal of whatever's next for Nintendo I'm just saying that I don't know that these rumors are true but they're exciting to think about and it's definitely something that has me wondering if Nintendo would be willing to do an even shorter announcement to release than they did with Nintendo Switch you let me know what you think about this down in the comments below it's really interesting that we have multiple sources on and we're just going to sit back and enjoy a hot cup of cocoa in the middle of a cold December as we get ready for the holiday season you know we got Christmas and Hanukkah and all those magical holidays coming up for those that celebrate and I don't know I'm ready for Switch 2 anytime Nintendo
