Switch 2 Speculation Thread

Oh right, it's only the thread maker. I guess it makes sense if you were using the forum to ask for advice on one specific issue and then found the solution

In that case: we should rebrand this as an unspecific help forum, and see what stupid questions people ask.

I can answer that one: it'd be "where can I trade Bitcoin cheap?" followed by an answer to that question with a totally trustworthy non-suspicious link.

There's lots of noise coming out about the Switch’s successor, specifically regarding its internal design, processing power and compatibility.

It all sounds good so far. Perhaps the most eye-catching bit of news is that the hardware reveal is rumoured to be taking place next month...

Unless I missed it, that hardware reveal didn’t take place in March.
 
There’s been a bit more chatter about the Switch successor this month, with confirmation that it’ll be formally announced “this fiscal year” and with trustworthy rumours coming out about its components and architecture.

“A more powerful, technically enhanced and backwards compatible Super Switch” sounds like what we’re getting. And to be honest it would be utterly mental for them to do anything (unless it was the N64 2, with Wetrix 3 available at launch, then that’s the clear go-to option).
 
This Christmas seems inconceivable for a launch. Spring 2025 seems plausible, right? I don’t remember a time when a first iteration of a major console released during the summer. Yet could it be still a further eighteen months away?
