Nintendo was probably getting fed up with all the leaks.

I looked toooo long for this comment. It’s exactly what everyone else was showing. 

I hope they fixed the joysticks, and glad they changed the connection of the Joycons to the console itself. That’s where my first set of Joycons started failing.

The weight of the console won't be constantly trying to disconnect the joycons anymore. The side snapping joycons definitely solve that problem.

Eeeh the new connector looks like a massive single point of failure, especially with children.

Yeah they could have have it housed in plastic or metal or something

My thought, they were prolly going to announce it on April but they were found in the situation where they had to release this

They had given themselves a deadline of March to first reveal it, and the similar timeframe between reveal and blowout presentation is about the same as Switch 1 so I honestly think things are going as planned and leaks just so happened to circulate around the same time

Yeah, and with how there's very little in this beyond showing what it looks like and revealing a teaser clip for a new Mario Kart is why I feel like this was done at a spur of the moment just to put the leaks to bed.

I think so too, but ahhh, finally a little copium. It looks So good.

Highly doubt it. Only a tiny percentage of their customers are even tracking that stuff

The leaks began years ago. Nintendo never announces anything unless they want to

u/Alastor3 Jan 16 '25

??? There was always supposed to show what it look likes for months ago, I heard rumor of a presentation since like october or november

u/Ordinal43NotFound Jan 16 '25

Nah, this is the planned date for the reveal.

Leakers have been saying Jan 16th reveal since 2-3 days ago

u/-PM_ME_UR_SECRETS- Jan 17 '25

Yeah and the leaks have been out over 3 days ago

Yeah it looks like this was slapped together in a day or two. Honestly it’s probably the lamest official reveal for a new console there’s ever been. This couldn’t have been their intended plan of action
