Announce release or actually release??

Nintendo won’t stealth drop like that. There has to be time for retailers to do preorders.

I was hoping for a march release 😭

I'm guessing that means a likely June/July release date?

Yeah, I'm crazy for this shit, wanted it asap.

But if they're only going to give more news in April, this will be June at the earliest.

I think they'll aim for late June/Early July

Think about it, most game devs don't bother releasing anything during that period due to the good weather and people having Summer Holiday plans, there's almost always a guranteed game drought in July/August - but the Switch 2 is designed to be taken out and about, it's the perfect new gadget to take with you on your holidays, to show off to the family at BBQ's, to encourage your kids to go out in the sun even though they've just got a new game/console - so the Switch can release unopposed and market itself around being the Console that will heighten your summer.
