an article appeared on my feed called "nintendo switch 2: everything we know". i've heard lots of speculation, but nothing confirmed, so why not check it and find out?
it turns out: nothing. absolutely nothing. every single thing in here is either a flat-out admission of "we don't know", or what you could charitably call tea leaf reading.
emphasis mine:
"what is it":
Nintendo, for its part, has said nothing at all about what to expect from its next system, apart from how the aim is for it to "surprise and delight" fans, so we only have predictions and guesses to go on for now.they do mention that a site "compiled a PC based on what it believed the Switch 2's specs could be", which is... yeah. about those tea leaves
"when will it be announced":
Nintendo has provided no indication as to when it might announce new hardware
"when will the switch 2 launch":
We don't know.
"how much will it cost"
The Switch 2 has not been announced, so everything is guesswork at this stage.
"will it be backwards compatible?"
We don't know.
i think my favorite, though, is this one, under "mario kart 9 and other games"
It's widely expected that Nintendo will release a new Mario Kart game for its next home console–there are not many safer bets in gaming that one could make.yeah, no kidding.
