so when would they first advertise it?

it is confirmed not in the E3 docket

it must be coming March 2022 with a 5 year anniversary celebration looking back at the launch and every big title

could be announced closer to launch due to shortages effecting how they make projections, the industry is in a weird place right now

also if this is just a new model then our only other basis for timeline should be switch lite which was unveiled early July and dropped in late September

Based on that, it would make sense to announce this thing in august or September if their release date is holiday 2021, but I personally wouldn’t be surprised if Nintendo shocked everyone by debuting it next month around e3

how we can know is; if E3 shows that we don't get BOTW2 in December we aren't getting a new Switch model because almost everybody in the world knows they'll launch together

You’re right and based on what aonuma said in February it’s pretty obvious we’re getting a bigger look and most likely a release date for botw2 very soon, so I guess we’ll know then.

THIS S*** NEAT AF

Where our man @Bliss at

Bliss probably outside the Nintendo offices protesting about Smash Melee

But I thought that was forgiven when Sephiroth dropped

LMAOOO

:elon:

Man imagine if they remade super mario world with switch graphics

Very very interesting that they announced that new Pokémon game dropping in January

and the Metroid news...

seems like a switch pro could be out in December?

then with BOTW2 in December would they really try and sell 2 Pokemon games on each side?

or would they sell the new model without any games to try it on until Legends in January?

If that's true yall botw2 2022 believers gonna look funny

because we want them to have both the max amount of time AND perfect amount of marketing room for the game which may get swallowed up by Xbox and Sony hype plus 2 different Pokemon games for $89.99 each one month before and after December? that's pretty wild tbh

Id agree with you if botw didnt explode and made the franchise a potential 20 million seller. Zelda botw along with god of war ragnarok are the most anticipated games by far, and switch despite ps5 and xsx releasing hasnt stopped selling like hotcakes, neither its games (mario 3d world and mh rise are doing fantastic). Id argue xsx and ps5 would be more of a problem in 2022 when demand will start to be met cause by the end of 2021 supply still wont keep up. Thats my 2 cents tho, im prepared for all the DrakeLs yall gonna send me if it does indeed release in 2022

because of Pokémon 35 and Zelda 35 we’re expecting a lot more announcements and releases than usual

the reason it’s interesting that the games are both coming close to each other is that they’re cramming the holiday season with releases, as if preparing for a big hardware drop

sooo now theyre saying

BOTW2 and Switch Pro coming September

You smoking that stardust if you think BOTW2 dropping in 2021 bruh

And now some more (unofficial) confirmation

Are DirectFeedGames and Emily Rogers hinting at an EXTREMELY imminent announcement for Switch Pro (as soon as today, Thursday) or are they just playing with us? Check this Twitter convo.

Edit: Maybe not? We shall see

would be a very sexy thing for nintendo to do

If a Switch revision is (as some rumors suggest) planned for 2021 then BotW2 releasing in 2021 wouldn’t be an unlikely thing, but we’ll just have to wait and see.
