Nintendo Switch Successor Announced

[Dcubed]

FWIW, My Uncle At Nintendo hasn't mentioned anything about an announcement this week yet.

French media outlet BFMTV are backing Nate's claim that Assassin's Creed titles Mirage and Shadows are both coming to Switch 2.

According to information gathered by Tech&Co and confirming revelations from insider NatetheHate, Ubisoft is currently developing ports of Assassin's Creed Mirage and Assassin's Creed Shadows on Nintendo's next console.

Quote

Ports described as "ambitious" which "will take advantage of the technical power of the console", we are assured by sources close to the French publisher.

Quote

While Shadows will be released on March 20 on PS5, Xbox Series and PC, the Switch 2 version will not arrive before the end of the year "in order to maintain a high level of finish on this platform," we explained to Tech&Co under the condition of anonymity.

Go on, port Outlaws, you cowards. You know you won't be able to get it to run well.

It’s new hardware, of course Ubisoft will jump on it.

Water is wet after all.

"here's some games that don't match the target audience of the console"

 

"Oh no, these games didn't sell well, better ditch the platform"

 

(That said, Red Steel and Zombi U had some nice ideas)

Oooh, Red Steel 2 was an absolute banger! Thanks for the nostalgia.

No announcement yet, is a Thursday reveal likely off?

And the sudden reversals by all the leakers that 100% told us it would be Thursday. 
 

I also want Nintendo to send out a tweet or whatever that just says “we’ll let you see it when we want to not when others tell us we want to”

I mean, if it were to be 1:1 with the Switch/NX reveal, we'd still be waiting just under another 3 hours (the "tune in for the reveal of the NX" tweet was posted at 01:30 GMT the day of). 

That being said, they could totally just shadow-drop it. Goodness knows. They might even choose a time that isn't the middle of the night to announce.

Oh hey, here's Mr Miyamoto eating all our empty Switch 2 hopes and dreams for lunch:

Well, it is Thursday 16th Jan 2025, meaning that according to all of the reports and purported leaks we've been hearing, I need to use one of these...

...as we'll apparently getting our first look at the Switch 2/successor within the next 24 hours. 

Or not -- I'm not too bothered and am here for the hype...

...just as much as I am the meltdowns.

Very curious to see how today shakes out. 

But for real, even if not today, it's about time...right?

Right about time for Nintendo to hit that second Switch switch?

I'm sure they'll factor it in.

Nintendo to drop the Switch 2 reveal during Ashley's meeting this afternoon confirmed 

[ArtMediocre]

Finally, thanks @Ashley ♥️

[Julius]

It's all going a little crazy, and people are doubling down...

...guess I might be putting off my leisurely lunchtime stroll for a bit 

[Ashley]

What nationality are they? Lunch can really range based on the country. 

Although my meeting is at 13:30 which is just about lunch (albeit a bit early).

They're both living in England I'm pretty sure

Technically I don't have my lunch until like 5pm so we could still be waiting a while 

[Happenstance]

What if some of us are hungry now and some are hungry later?

[killthenet]

Maybe they're actually calling it the Nintendo Lunch

Nah they probably got their lunch times and @Ashley's meeting time confused

Then it should have happened already then. People here eat lunch way too early. The heathens!

[Happenstance]

Supposedly dropping at 1pm anyway. Let's see if they are right this time.

As a late lunch eater I concur. 

I say we round them all up and torture them with Switch 2 Pro "leaks", it's the only way 

[Happenstance]

What games do we expect to launch with the Nintendo Lunch then?
