Nintendo fans might want to keep an eye on social media next week, as new insider speculation points to a potential reveal of the highly anticipated Switch 2.
A prominent Nintendo insider, Brazilian journalist Pedro Henrique Lutti Lippe, has recently hinted that Nintendo could finally unveil the console between October 28 and November 1.
This wouldn’t be the first time Lippe has weighed in on the Switch successor; he previously made waves by breaking the story that Nintendo was pushing the console’s launch back to 2025, sparking widespread interest across the gaming community.
In his recent YouTube livestream, Lippe suggested that the upcoming reveal date could land early in the week, advising fans to watch Nintendo’s official channels, especially Twitter, on Monday and Tuesday.
I’ll be refreshing Twitter on Monday and Tuesday during key hours,
Lippe remarked, hinting that Nintendo might release a teaser a day before the main reveal, similar to their strategy with the original Switch back in 2016.
Consistent Rumblings of an October Switch 2 Reveal
Lippe’s prediction is consistent with rumors he began circulating earlier in October, where he hinted that the reveal might occur before the month’s end. One reason for this timing, he speculates, could be Nintendo’s upcoming earnings report on November 5.
The journalist believes Nintendo might want to get ahead of questions from investors by showcasing the Switch 2, allowing them to control the narrative during the earnings call.
As for Lippe’s credibility, he’s a reliable source but not without his slip-ups—he recently admitted to overhyping a potential Nintendo Direct event in April without sufficient verification.
With Nintendo, even insiders are cautious,
Lippe noted in a previous stream, reminding viewers to approach all rumors with a healthy dose of skepticism. His insights have still been accurate more often than not, lending a sense of anticipation to his predictions.
More Clues from the Rumor Mill
As Lippe speculates, another well-known Nintendo leaker, Pyoro, seems to be fueling the buzz in their own way. Recently, Pyoro changed their Twitter display name to the wide-eyed “👀” emoji and updated their banner to feature the Alarmo clock, a quirky new product that has Nintendo fans buzzing.
It’s uncertain what this could mean, but fans are taking it as a playful hint that something big is around the corner.
Nintendo itself has confirmed that the Switch successor will be unveiled by the end of its current fiscal year, which concludes on March 31, 2025. This timeline keeps the company’s options open, but the recent flurry of insider activity has many fans hoping the announcement could come much sooner than expected.
Until then, all eyes will remain on Nintendo’s social channels as fans await an official word on what’s next in the Switch lineup.
