With rumors of Switch 2 to being "revealed" in January and launched in March, I thought I'd put my 2 cents in. I would rather post this on my Nintendo AGENDA page (since I was right about them announcing Switch 1 backwards compatibility there first), but with this post being time-stamped it's more "predictiony". While the above rumor may happen (there's been too many rumors for years now) there's another rumor saying Switch 2 will make some kind of appearance at the VGA's in December. If the January reveal to March launch rumor is true then I could see something maybe happen at VGA 2024?
If the reveal/launch thing is true then Nintendo (like they did with Wii) would announce the name of the device before the blowout reveal. No trailer, no controllers or hardware, not even any games...just the name/logo. A good reason to do it is so that when new game trailers show up at the VGA's people will know that they're also coming to Nintendo's next system. Reasons they wouldn't though are: the VGA's are more for industwy PC/PlayStation shite and there would have to be a lot of controlled planning way ahead of time with publishers to have that name/logo in the trailers. Doable, since all they would have to do is tack on a couple of seconds of said name/logo but if it ever were to happen Nintendo would probably reveal the name/logo on their terms separate from (and before) the VGA's.
But do they really want the first games/trailers for the new hardware to be from 3RD parties without revealing a game of their own? Probably not, but if they did maybe a Metroid Prime 4 (for Switch 2) trailer is possible. Just dreaming here. We'll see what happens...
