 What a surprise, we're talking about Switch 2 again. I wanna be honest, it actually wasn't my plan today, but Nate The Hate dropped his podcast today where he detailed what exactly he knows about the Nintendo Switch 2 delay, what's happening, and actual rumors here that suggest Nintendo is planning to reveal this system this year. And there's a very particular thing Nintendo is supposedly doing, according to his sources. And so without further ado, why don't we just dive right into his podcast? And a few things he said here, we're not gonna chop up his show and throw it in here, I'm just gonna kinda go over it, because it's an hour long show, I suggest you go watch if you're interested, we'll have it linked down below. But he said a few things, one of them's an opinion, two of them are things directly from his sources. So the very first thing he said is he had a half dozen sources tell him about early 2025. He claims this was like a day or two before the story's actually broke. Look, I don't really know when he actually heard anything or if he's just misremembering, because there were some public statements that he said at least on Twitter that made it sound like he was double checking with his sources after the news broke rather than before, but I don't know, I mean, this was like weeks ago. So it's pretty easy to just misconstrue things and maybe I'm misconstruing things, but I don't think I am, but it is what it is. Another thing that he pointed out and this is just something he thinks will happen. And I've talked about this already, I've thrown this out into the ether so anyone who's been watching my channel long enough already knows I've said this, but he also thinks that Nintendo will acknowledge or has to acknowledge Switch 2 or say something, anything about Switch 2 by the end of May for investor reasons and specifically we're pointing to May 7th, which is the investors meeting. Now, I've talked about this before, like if there's any plan to release this system in the next fiscal year, if there's a plan right now, then this is dropping within the next fiscal year, they have to address it with the investors when they're talking about next year's projected revenue. So even if it's just a small little thing, like just acknowledging that it exists or that there are plans for future hardware before the end of the fiscal year or dropping a code name or something, Nintendo would have to actually say something or at least should if the plan is this fiscal year, if the plan is next fiscal year then Nintendo can blissfully say nothing. So I don't know, it's just one of those things we don't know what Nintendo's plans are with that. Now that's again just an opinion, we don't know what Nintendo's gonna actually do, but Nathan, he did say this, Nintendo has reached out to their partners and I'm sure he's just talking about his contacts for assets from games for those studios and the assets for Switch 2, for games we're working out for Switch 2 and he said that these things are like trailers and such, so Nintendo has been actually putting in work to put together some sort of presentation. That to me is pretty exciting to talk about because that means Nintendo is planning to present something this year. You wouldn't be gathering trailers from third-party companies right now if you weren't planning to have a presentation related to the Nintendo Switch 2 at some point in 2024. Now, as we know plans change, I'll keep saying it on repeat, we had a leaked document from the Giga leak that showed Nintendo Switch was originally supposed to release in holiday 2016. We know when it actually ended up coming out. So it's one of those things that we already have direct evidence that Nintendo's internal plans do shift and do change, not that logic and reasoning shouldn't have told you that everyone's plans internally shift and change. I got plans on my channel that shift and change all the time. So yeah, that's just the reality. So I do think that it is safe to consider the idea at least that something is happening, period. Now, we don't know what this something is going to be. We don't know when it's going to be. Obviously there's rumors out there. What's funny is there's a specific rumor from the original person who talked about the delay saying Nintendo might be revealing this thing in June or has initial plans to reveal the system in June. Nate, hey, it said something on his show that I thought was interesting. He said there's rumors out there about it being revealed in May. And I'm gonna be honest, to somebody who covers like all the Switch 2 rumors, I don't recall any rumor about it being revealed in May, just speculation that Nintendo will have to say something in May because of the investor's meeting and it being a new fiscal year, but not because of any actual other reasoning. So I haven't heard any sort of actual rumor about it, just speculation. So I don't know what he's referencing there, but I don't know. I don't like read family boards and reset era and every little more so like religiously. You guys might think I do because of all the rumors we post, but honestly, I don't actually religiously read these places. So I don't always know what the hell is going on. So what I do try to keep up on though is the bigger stuff. And I know as much as we cover Switch 2, I think it's our fifth, no, five of our last six videos, including this one are about Switch 2. I'm very happy to get into some other stuff that we're gonna be talking about soon, including tomorrow on the podcast because on the podcast tomorrow, we're gonna be talking about Princess Peach Showtime. It drops this week and I think it's appropriate to talk about. And I do think we have a couple of guests coming on that also we'll be really wanting to talk about Princess Peach Showtime and other games, of course. So that's gonna be fun, but today we're talking about this and I just wanna throw out there that I don't know what the hell is going on, man. I wish I did. Some people said, hey, what's your retailer source said? Look, there's been no update there. What was said was what was said. There was never a guarantee of any release date or any, you know, I shouldn't say release date, any reveal, that's not what that source was about. It had to do with pre-order stuff and if plans change, well, naturally, it doesn't really matter if there was initially a contact about pre-orders and now the plans have shifted. So then obviously none of that's really relevant anymore. Unless you wanted to know if like, was there an update that Nintendo let them know nothing? I don't know. It doesn't really matter because no matter what I say, I'm just gonna look bad, right? Like I'm gonna look like I'm either renegging on something I said or I am, you know, changing the story. And I don't wanna change the story. So I haven't even bothered to reach out for more comments from my contact who gets me some stuff from GameStop because frankly at this point, I'm sure there's just been silence from Nintendo on their end too and it is what it is. This is what happens when plans change and I wouldn't be surprised if there's an internal document that talked about March. I just don't think it's ever gonna get leaked out March of 2024 that is. So we're just gonna sit back and wait and see what happens just here to bring you the latest on Switch too. And this is the latest that, you know, the biggest thing being Nintendo supposedly reported the according to, hey again, a rumor has gathered trailers and stuff from third-party partners. That would have to be for a presentation, right? So take that for what you will. Thank you so much for tuning in and I'll catch you in the next video.
