So, is the Switch 2 launching alongside The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom?

[digitalrelic]

So now that we know that the next Zelda launches May 12th, 2023, how are we feeling about the odds of it launching alongside a Switch 2?

Nintendo recently stated that a Switch 2 will not be releasing during the 2022 fiscal year, which ends in March of 2023:

The Switch will have been out for over 6 years as of May of next year, and as we all know, Switch 2 leaks and rumors have been rampant for the last 2 years or so.


I'm going with "yes". It seems too perfect timing-wise for it not to.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Wait, don't you mean the Switch Pro™?

 

[Khaidu]

Not a chance.

 

[nsilvias]

switch 2 is just an illusion in the minds of gamers

 

[EarlGreyHot]

Absolutely

 

[Milennia]

Strongest doubt I could ever doubt


Hopium is gonna be strong with this one

 

[Sonix]

No.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

No, it will launch November 2023.

 

[ILikeFeet]

yes

 

[Biosnake]

of course

 

[Wispmetas]

Stop. Wtf

 

[mrbogus]

Yes.

 

[jokkir]

Yes

 

[RowdyReverb]

I wish they would, but with Nintendo who knows? The Switch is still selling very well and has to be dirt cheap to produce at this point, despite the ongoing supply constraints. But damn, the gameplay trailer graphics are looking a bit long in the tooth compared to Sony/MS

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Maybe if it gets a delay. But no, not in May.

 

[808s & Villainy]

I honestly do think so. If you noticed from the releases they were heavily early 2023 with exact dates, unlike most Directs which might just announce 2023 without specifying when. I think there's a new system coming next year. I haven't really felt strongly from the leakers and "insiders", but from this Direct i got that impression really strongly

 

[Thera]

It was always the case

 

[Wolf]

Absolutely not if it launches in May.

 

[Gyro Zeppeli]

Switch Pro Max/Switch 2 is not a thing. Will there be a next gen Nintendo console? Obviously. Soon? No. I'm going with 2024 at the earliest.

 

[NuclearCake]

I hope so.

So we can finally move on.

 

[Helix]

YES

NO

Spoiler

MAYBE?!

 

[Ewaan]

Don't do this to yourselves.

 

[Mr.Gamerson]

It could actually come just before!

 

[Rimkrak]

Nah it will launch for Christmas 2023 alongside a switch 2 version of Zelda TOTK so you have to double dip

 

[Jave]

Hell no.

 

[TheWooniestWoona]

Yes, but not next May. Zelda will be delayed again.

 

[pioneer]

I hope so, but I don't think anyone has any business trying to predict Nintendo at this point 😪

 

[Smitch]

No, but i hope i'm wrong

Switch Pro Max/Switch 2 is not a thing.

We know it exists in some form thanks to the Nvidia leak.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

It should. It'll have been nearly 6 years since the OG Switch launched by that time.

 

[jph139]

Lol, keep praying.

First half of 2024. MAYBE Holiday 2023, if you're lucky. (But you won't be.)

Switch 2 is

Switch Pro isn't

 

[Orayn]

0% chance. Even late 2023 would be pretty surprising.

[Shokunin]

100% Yes.

 

[Phoenix Splash]

No way. They can hit this iron for another year or so. It didn't lose a step at all and actually release with more than two games next time.

 

[Arithmetician]

Absolutely yes. We've had reason to believe next Zelda == Switch 2 for years now

 

[Thorn]

A switch game just broke Japan's all time launch numbers.

Nintendo is in no rush

 

[Deleted member 93062]

The real Switch 2 launch title is Pikmin 4.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Absolutely not if it launches in May.

Click to shrink...

Yeah, there's no way Nintendo launches a console in spingtime.

 

[Belphegor]

The Switch 2 won't be out until 2024 at least.

 

[maximumzero]

Jesus Christ, I don't think there's every been as much talk and hype about a nonexistent product as there has been about whatever's coming after the Nintendo Switch.

 

[julia crawford]

I LIVE ON THE EDGE AND I SAY YES MOST DEFINITELY

BURN YOUR PANTS IT WILL COME

 

[Deleted member 81119]

Late 2023 is a possibility but I think 2024 is more likely.

 

[unicornKnight]

Voted yes just for wanting to believe but I doubt it.

 

[CharlesAznable]

It releasing in May makes me pretty certain that the Switch 2 is probably at least a year away. I don't see Nintendo doing a console launch late spring.

I've been singing it for years.

The next Nintendo console won't be a Switch Pro or Switch 2 and there certainly won't be a new console in 8 months without any information.

 

[Wijuci]

Switch 2 will actually release in April.

 

[Gyro Zeppeli]

Switch 2 is

Switch Pro isn't

Click to shrink...

Yes but that won't be out until years from now. People are acting like it'll be out next year.

Well if reports are anything to go by, developers have been working on games using Switch 2 dev kits for a while now. It would be really bad of Nintendo to leave those devs sitting on their hands waiting for them to release the Switch 2 in 2-3 years.
