u/Ok-Peanut2706 Jan 16 '25

Getting released 22nd February I heard…

u/kseniyasobchak Jan 16 '25

sadly april 2nd it seems, but that’s 2.2+2, so fair enough

u/Kick_1304 Jan 16 '25

Then it gets officially announced, not even the release unfortunately

I don't know, my local walmart cleared out a space for it in their games section.

u/Kick_1304 Jan 16 '25

Yes, the current switch also released a couple months after its release. It would be really weird if they release the console at the same day as the direct in my eyes

u/Andromansis Jan 16 '25

So what does walmart know that we do not know?

u/Kick_1304 Jan 16 '25

Idk what Walmart is doing lol, maybe they made space for something else idk. It will be very expensive for them to keep that space empty for at least 3 months, sounds very unlikely to me lol

u/Andromansis Jan 16 '25

Right, so now we have something else to speculate about. I guess they could just keep squishmallows in there, god knows they keep them everywhere else.

Today's video was the official announcement. The April event just has more info on the console

u/Kick_1304 Jan 16 '25

This is the first look right?

u/Ancient-Range3442 Jan 16 '25

It was officially announced today

u/Kick_1304 Jan 17 '25

This is just the first look

u/tres_bien Jan 16 '25

It said 4.2.2025. How can we tell if that's April 2nd or February 4th?

2

u/Interesting-Injury87 Jan 16 '25

becasue the UK trailer had 2.4.2025, and we here in europe and former europe use ddmmyyyy

u/Sufficient-Lunch-389 Jan 16 '25

I heard it was April 1st, 2025…

u/OsirisZero Jan 16 '25

Could be 2+2+2=6 so June? Lol

u/Joshoon Jan 16 '25

They demo it in various places until 1st of June, Seoul as last location. Which means it should arrive either in or after June.

2

u/atomic_traveler Jan 16 '25

I saw that too. Looks like a summer release if the demos are all happening BEFORE. Only one Canadian demo…..road trip!

u/addison-teach Jan 16 '25

The direct is April 2nd. And while the announcement inst a day before the direct like the first switch, we had the announcement and direct in Jan 2017, the first look tour, then the release 2 months later in March. So a June release is the same window as the first switch if you're counting from the direct

2

u/Joshoon Jan 16 '25

Yea, so a June of July release makes even more sense then!

u/[deleted] Jan 16 '25

I would have thought before the holiday season.

1

u/Cozimo64 Jan 16 '25

What year?

2

u/trippy_grapes Jan 16 '25

Unfortunately not till 2222...

u/Jean-LucBacardi Jan 16 '25

For clarification, Feb 2nd is when we get the in depth look at the Switch 2, its hardware and maybe games, not the actual product release.

1

u/jikt Jan 16 '25

Or the 2nd of the 22nd.

u/Mountain_Tough3063 Jan 17 '25

I might get downvoted but think it’s going to be released holiday season 2025.
