Switch 3 will have 4D as it's new gimmick trust me my uncle works at nintendo he told me. He also told me that the virtual boy will come to NSO, but not the gamecube or donkey kong 64, and tomodachi life will never return
Yeah, it’s getting annoying. People have been crying “Switch 2??!!” Since like a year after the Switch launched. Arlo constantly taking the bait of these rumors is annoying, especially when he could be doing more productive things like _getting some rest._
Fun Fact: In most people, Salt doesn't actually have much to do with Blood Pressure. In fact, too little of it is probably worse for you then too much.
I had a dream last night that the new console was not a switch two, and it was instead just a big I phone called the Nintendo Touch. The gimmick of the console was literally just that there’s no controller, and you have to tap the screen to do anything. It wasn’t even like there were mobile game controls, it was just all point and click. It was a hideous black box like the Wii U game pad, but like a box, and nothing on it but a screen. It was actually like a small microwave. The launch title was Hotel Mario 2. I’m not joking. I genuinely had this dream and thought it was real when I woke up. Scariest nightmare I’ve ever had.
When it comes to leakers, Nate the Hate knows his stuff. The fact that VGC said they heard the same thing seems to add weight to it having been planned for this week.
3:34 Nintendo rarely gives 2 day noticed for Directs anymore. For the Switch reveal, they announced it the night before. Safe thing is to expect an announcement Wednesday night, though sooner would be a nice surprise.
We know why you really are not on camera recently... Arlo molting season. Shed your dry husk and emerge as a gooey, but stunningly blue, New Arlo. Gooey, bluey, and new...ish.

Saying it's "just another Nate the Hate rumor" is underselling this hard. Nate discusses a lot of rumors, but he was extremely confident in this AND it would be a severe misfire to make a bold prediction like this with so much attention without being sure. Not to mention every site has now come out saying they've heard the same info.
I agree. I'm not worshipping the guy or anything, and I know he can be wrong, that's just the nature of this stuff. He's had some big misses recently, mainly with the Switch 2 not releasing last year, but I think it's pretty clear there was some kind of delay. But when it comes to dates for presentations in the coming week, his track record has been flawless as far as I can remember for the past 10 odd years or however long it's been. Also, the context matters a lot here: in the podcast, he was extremely direct and upfront about it, no uncertainty whatsoever. But more than that, it's been corroborated by Eurogamer.
This. When MVG questioned it he didn't falter. He doubled down and said it could even be Friday for some folks due to time zone shenanigans. He seems extremely confident (having listened to his podcast). I think it may *finally* be happening.
@Cheesehead302 I agree. He sounded *so* confident. He must have gotten some very damning news or have *some* kind of evidence presented to him. I can't help but wonder what!
If nothing happens on Thursday, you just know we're going to learn absolutely nothing and continue to uncritically believe any and all Switch 2 rumours we hear from a guy we met on the bus.
That's why I don't like people being like "The nintendo switch WILL reveal on thursday!" LIke it's a rumor, a rumor from a credible leaker yes but there have been times in the past where "credible leakers" have been totally wrong so we should all have at least a little grain of salt with this rumor, because if it doesn't come out on thursday or this week people are gonna be dissapointed as hell because they put all their faith in some random joe

This is it; I can feel it. The start of the Switch 2 era is nearly upon us!
But Nate didn't just say "I hear it's Thursday," he just straight up said it IS happening Thursday. Not just a hint or a maybe or "take this with a grain of salt" or "rumors are saying end of the month' etc. He just straight up said "I can announce that it's going to be revealed Thursday." It's very different than all these other people throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks.
@gomerjomer9209 nate's track record is basically immaculate on anything he's said with confidence over the course of like 6 years now at this point, even things that weren't in directs show up later as shadow drops. Even Jeff Grubb (who has the highest track record) has said Nate knows what he's talking about and trusts what he says. It's been corroborated also by The Verge (Tom Warren), VGC and others now also. Very likely Thursday.
@ “very likely” that’s what I’m saying, however still take it with a grain of salt. It’s okay to be hopeful but No one is right 100% of the time. And if you go in thinking it’s 100% going to be announce on that day there is a chance it won’t and you will get very disappointed. If what your saying is correct then awesome that’s more reason to be hopeful and get excited, but never put your faith in leakers 100%
@ yeah with nate he normally doesn't exactly say something unless he's certain - something like a switch 2 reveal is basically staking his rep on it. hopefully it's thursday so we can stop getting videos in our feed every day like "OMG WHAT IF" haha
Arlo you are definitely discounting Nate here for no reason, he absolutely has sources. There would absolutely be a difference between him saying it and if you just started confidently started saying it lol
I don't really have a problem with Arlo being overly cautious here, you know, with the nature of this stuff. Not everything can be 100 percent all of the time. But I think it would be nice if in the future there was a discussion actually bringing up the track record so people can decide for themselves how much stock to put into it. I'm not saying we need a deep dive for every single leak, but it would be nice if more context was presented here. Exactly what was said, and the kind of stuff he has previously called over the years. At the very least, I think it would be beneficial to provide the source in the description so that people who aren't as terminally online as the rest of us can look into it more easily if they want, or at least have a more full quote of what was actually said. Maybe go a bit deeper into it than just the title of an article showing the general idea of what happened, and look into why a source is or isn't trusted. Again, I'm not hating on Arlo, these are just some suggestions that I think could improve this type of content. Also, yeah I thought that particular comment was weird. It's like, yeah I think it would be stupid if I got online and started saying "Switch 2 this week, everybody!" because I have no source and no history of having a source with Nintendo, so why would anybody believe me? But if I'm a person who has been accurately leak specific stuff relating to Nintendo for the last ten years, then it's like, uh yeah maybe pay more attention to me then the average person claiming nonsense lol. I mean, I'm pretty sure the most recent think this guy claimed was by name an insanely specific Hello Kitty game being shown in an upcoming Nintendo Direct. But I guess it's impossible to tell if he has connections, must've just been a lucky guess that anyone could've called. But whatever, it's not super serious, it's supposed to be fun after all. It's just, I've never liked the idea of "rumors/leakers" just being one big entity that are all working together, it's like, nah, they all have separate track records and levels of trustworthiness.
Nate is not just Nate...Pyoro also backed him up. Y'all be getting too anxious over this stuff. When there's smoke there's fire and there's a LOT of smoke.
Even Kit and Krysta (Former Nintendo of America employee's who worked on the marketing and revealing stuff team) have said they agree, Thursday seems likely.
Lol, that's exactly what Arlo is saying, these corraborations especially by people like Kit and Krysta are just like Arlo saying it's probably today. But I do think Nate has good sources though.
@manojlds Kit and Krysta literally had the job of researching what days would be best and giving the list of options to Nintendo's execs...They aren't Arlo, they were the ones who picked actual release and reveal dates for stuff lol.
tbh zelda btow was amazing but I don't this is the game that made the switch so popular at launch, I think it was mario kart. And I wouldn't be surprised if the dlc pack we got for mk8 was a way to train a new team to build mk9 for the switch2. I would not be surprised if we get mk9 in 2025.
Staring at the TopicArlo youtube channel, eyes stinging with sweat pouring from my glistening forehead, waiting with baited breath for the promised further Arlo Switch 2 Reveal Speculation™. My finger hurts from spamming refresh page. "You want to control people? Tell them a messiah will come, They'll wait for centuries." Eagerly I await the return of the puppet from the outer world.
Imagine if it doesn't get announced on Thursday, but instead it's DK64 on NSO Edit: I think I remember the original hype for the Switch 2 reveal, I think it was because the PS5 Pro was revealed or releasing and people thought Nintendo would capitalise on Sony's failings with it. As we now know, they didn't
This week does make sense, but I think Nintendo might want to postpone this thing to next week, considering the LA wildfires AND a major earthquake in Miyazaki
My (likely unpopular) dream is that Nintendo announces that there will be no switch 2. Instead, they will release games on whatever hardware from their history that makes sense for that specific game. Switch 1, but also Wii pointy games, simpler 3D games on GC and even another crack at the Wii u game pad. Don’t get me wrong I know that’s impossible, but a man can dream. I can’t help the feeling that anyone calling the switch’s hardware outdated doesn’t share my understanding of Nintendo’s creative ingenuity, or tech in general. We’re like children constantly chasing a new toy and capitalism is happy to supply this never ending cycle.
12:04 - I've heard a good amount of people say that the Booster Course Pass DLC was probably meant for training their developers in time to make the next game for new hardware as good as possible and speed up development. I think it kinda makes sense when you consider how the quality kept going up wave after wave, seemingly at random. It gives off more of the vibe of a bunch of students having fun adding stuff to a project as they get more comfortable with it rather than a firm plan set in place from the start. I mean, think about the way it all played out: Wave 1 with mostly basic courses Waves ~2-4 getting way better as well as fixing stuff like Coconut Mall along with new characters being added starting with Wave 4 Final waves with more characters than what they promised, additional Mii costumes, a music player, a new credits sequence which you could even see by just playing the tracks online for some reason, as well as just having some of the best looking and playing courses from not just the DLC, but the entire game.
The instant the Switch 2 reveal is over, we can all start keeping our eyes peeled for the next Smash teaser. It's gonna come outta nowhere, just like the Smash Ultimate teaser. They're gonna show what appears to be some Mario sparts game, then Waluigi is gonna look into the sky and the Smash logo will be reflected in his eyes! That's my wish.
I have big Nintendo connections and can confirm it will not be happening on Thursday. It's been delayed due to be being cancelled, they're now moving onto the Switch 3.
Nintendo should just post a white 2 on a red background today, the marketing would go crazy. And then tomorrow do the same with a 1 so it's actually a countdown. Cinema.
Arlo, you’re the reason we got a thousand year door remake, and that’s better than any prediction ever was or will be. Change my mind (but don’t because I’m right… confidence, see? 😉).
if they announce the reveal tomorrow, combined with miku dropping in fortnite, a game I DONT EVEN PLAY, it will be the best day in gaming (for me personally)
There's a difference between speculation and rumor, and a lot of Nate's speculations get spread around like rumors. These days, Nate doesn't give out actual rumors unless he feels strongly about them being true in some way.
Mario Kart makes a lot of sense to me at launch, it’s their broadest appeal franchise and it’s been SO long. Most the DLC didn’t freshly come out and presumably they have some hook for the next entry that’ll draw people in Launch year at least, but I think it makes sense for launch day
It's been a year since the last wave of the Mario kart 8 dx booster course pass dlc came out. That's enough of a gap for a brand new mario kart title to be released, especially since it's literally been over 10 years now since the og Mk 8 came out on the Wii U.
That would just be insulting to announce it the same day Donkey Kong Country Returns HD releases, but it's not beyond Nintendo to completely step over Donkey Kong, it's definitely a habit at this point.
I mean the Switch 1 was announced the same day that Mario Party: Star Rush was released, so they're not above announcing new consoles on the same day that a first party game drops
Nate gave more than just the date, he also discussed the manner of the announcement. Moreover, he had expressed that he didn't think said manner (bare-bones tech reveal, no game teases) made sense the way he heard it. It was a lot more specific than just "state your forecast with confidence".
Man, I was a senior in High School when Nintendo announced the Switch. I was just starting to become a Nintendo die-hard during the Wii U when the trailer dropped the next day and my teacher who was also a Nintendo fanboy showed it too me. I nearly cried that day. I can't wait to get my hands on the next Nintendo console.
the switch was revealed eight years ago. Furukawa took over as CEO as well as Doug Bowser for NOA. Not to mention a lot of the Switch's concept was headed by the late Iwata. This is not to say strategy has changed just because leadership has, but I do think that's enough reason to expect a different approach this time around.
@@christianr.5868 As much as people say this, I've been paying attention hardcore to this stuff for the last few weeks. No one credible has so much as given an estimation for when this will be revealed up to this point beyond January from that guy who leaked the system on Christmas, giving his estimation of January. This is the first time we've had not just one credible person, but multiple credible people back a specific date.
If I recall correctly, when those rumors of the Switch 2 being revealed last year was closer to October. But end the end Alarmo was revealed after a bunch of outlets were saying something about Nintendo showing off new hardware
You COULD say it too Arlo, but you don't have Nate's accurate track record of predictions and leaks. Plus it makes sense to reveal it now before their next investors meeting beginning of February.
The Sony Switch 2. No cartridge port. You can buy one separately that plugs into the USB C. Dock and controllers sold separately. 30 fps with AI interlacing for 4k high graphics. Or 60 fps with AI interlacing to get either 2k high, or 4k with low settings. No new games. But there'll be a Mario Odyssey remastered remake for it next year. Starting price $599.99 USD
Can’t wait for it to be announced so we can finally put it to rest and get started on switch 3 rumors.
Switch 3 will have 4D as it's new gimmick trust me my uncle works at nintendo he told me. He also told me that the virtual boy will come to NSO, but not the gamecube or donkey kong 64, and tomodachi life will never return

I can't wait to see five seconds of a new 3D Mario.
i can
Knowing Arlo's luck, it'll be Xenoblade 4. For Switch and "some unannounced system."
I bet they'll just show a floating, spinning Switch 2 in a white background, talk about 4 thingies, bow, then end the stream lol.

Edit: I think I remember the original hype for the Switch 2 reveal, I think it was because the PS5 Pro was revealed or releasing and people thought Nintendo would capitalise on Sony's failings with it. As we now know, they didn't
Arlo making a video where he's not dying of bronchitis? Must be good gamer vibes going around for sure
This week does make sense, but I think Nintendo might want to postpone this thing to next week, considering the LA wildfires AND a major earthquake in Miyazaki
If it is this week, that would be hilarious. Nintendo basically told us the date in June when they announced DK.
My (likely unpopular) dream is that Nintendo announces that there will be no switch 2. Instead, they will release games on whatever hardware from their history that makes sense for that specific game. Switch 1, but also Wii pointy games, simpler 3D games on GC and even another crack at the Wii u game pad. Don’t get me wrong I know that’s impossible, but a man can dream. I can’t help the feeling that anyone calling the switch’s hardware outdated doesn’t share my understanding of Nintendo’s creative ingenuity, or tech in general. We’re like children constantly chasing a new toy and capitalism is happy to supply this never ending cycle.
Welp that certainly is a dream alright
When Arlo opened with "The wait is nearly over" i was sure he ment his ToTK review...
At this point I look forward to watch the Switch 2 reveal on a DIY Switch 2 built from leaked parts.
12:04 - I've heard a good amount of people say that the Booster Course Pass DLC was probably meant for training their developers in time to make the next game for new hardware as good as possible and speed up development. I think it kinda makes sense when you consider how the quality kept going up wave after wave, seemingly at random. It gives off more of the vibe of a bunch of students having fun adding stuff to a project as they get more comfortable with it rather than a firm plan set in place from the start.
I mean, think about the way it all played out:
Wave 1 with mostly basic courses
Waves ~2-4 getting way better as well as fixing stuff like Coconut Mall along with new characters being added starting with Wave 4
Final waves with more characters than what they promised, additional Mii costumes, a music player, a new credits sequence which you could even see by just playing the tracks online for some reason, as well as just having some of the best looking and playing courses from not just the DLC, but the entire game.
The instant the Switch 2 reveal is over, we can all start keeping our eyes peeled for the next Smash teaser. It's gonna come outta nowhere, just like the Smash Ultimate teaser. They're gonna show what appears to be some Mario sparts game, then Waluigi is gonna look into the sky and the Smash logo will be reflected in his eyes! That's my wish.
Don’t Hate The Nate
Please let this long, long wait be over
I have big Nintendo connections and can confirm it will not be happening on Thursday. It's been delayed due to be being cancelled, they're now moving onto the Switch 3.
Nate the Hate has an uncle who works at Nintendo
„My dad works at nintendo“ ahh
Nate the hate IS the uncle at nintendo lol
Nate The Hate isssss Nintendo
Nintendo should just post a white 2 on a red background today, the marketing would go crazy. And then tomorrow do the same with a 1 so it's actually a countdown. Cinema.
Am I the only one who despite being excited, doesn’t feel ready due to their switch backlog 😭
Dude, I definitely feel this 😅
Perfect now you have an entire library of backwards compatible games 🎉🍻🥳
Pikmin 5 is the game I want!!
2 to 3 was a 9 year wait. 3 to 4 was a 10 year wait. doing the math we gotta wait around 11 more years before pikmin 5 lol
Arlo: certified Nate the Hate hater
Arlo, you’re the reason we got a thousand year door remake, and that’s better than any prediction ever was or will be. Change my mind (but don’t because I’m right… confidence, see? 😉).
I mean, you could listen to Nate’s actual quote instead of ignoring it and making your own assumptions…
if they announce the reveal tomorrow, combined with miku dropping in fortnite, a game I DONT EVEN PLAY, it will be the best day in gaming (for me personally)
There's a difference between speculation and rumor, and a lot of Nate's speculations get spread around like rumors. These days, Nate doesn't give out actual rumors unless he feels strongly about them being true in some way.
I hope Nintendo reveals it soon because I am tired of the clickbaity "leaks and rumors" video I've been spammed with of this thing.
Mario Kart makes a lot of sense to me at launch, it’s their broadest appeal franchise and it’s been SO long. Most the DLC didn’t freshly come out and presumably they have some hook for the next entry that’ll draw people in
Launch year at least, but I think it makes sense for launch day
There have been so many switch 2 leak and rumors that I almost don’t want the shit to come out lol. It’s kinda be like reverse psychology
Nate the Hate isn't "just a guy". He is the one leaker that is the most reliable and his track record is there to back his leaks.
If this gets announced on my birthday, I’ll lose it.
Happy early birthday! 🎊 Here's hoping 🤞
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday for March 31st lovely way to wrap up fiscal year hahaha
SERIOUSLY????
Yes my uncle works for Nintendo and told me the same.
@@MrVoonix can confirm, his uncle is my dad
It would be hilarious if Nintendo didn't reveal it until the very last day of the fiscal year.
It's been a year since the last wave of the Mario kart 8 dx booster course pass dlc came out. That's enough of a gap for a brand new mario kart title to be released, especially since it's literally been over 10 years now since the og Mk 8 came out on the Wii U.
when you substitute "the rumours" with "the voices" it suddenly makes more sense
Oh nah Nintendo DON'T YOU GET MY HOPES UP
It will be announced r/tomorrow
That would just be insulting to announce it the same day Donkey Kong Country Returns HD releases, but it's not beyond Nintendo to completely step over Donkey Kong, it's definitely a habit at this point.
I mean the Switch 1 was announced the same day that Mario Party: Star Rush was released, so they're not above announcing new consoles on the same day that a first party game drops
Switch 2: Electric Boogaloo
Nate gave more than just the date, he also discussed the manner of the announcement. Moreover, he had expressed that he didn't think said manner (bare-bones tech reveal, no game teases) made sense the way he heard it. It was a lot more specific than just "state your forecast with confidence".
Having Halo on Switch is like having Sonic Adventure 2 on Gamecube, it's unprecedented and insane before it isn't.
Been posting this everywhere, but I'm gonna laugh if Thursday hits and there's no Switch 2 announcement anywhere at all. lol
The one thing I’m disappointed about are the announcements always landing during my work hours 😩
Nate is a very well known insider who’s track record is insanely good. Hence why whenever he says something, everyone jumps on board.
Clickbait RUclipsrs when the Switch 2 gets announced:
"SWITCH 2 PRO OLED LEAKED!!! shock emoji"
Arlo, how many times are you going to say “who is Nate the Hate? Just some guy?” before you look into him?
I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo leaked the switch successor as a marketing stunt to get people interested in the system
Nah
Companies do that
Nintendo doesn't
@Matanumi still waiting on examples of nate...
Man, I was a senior in High School when Nintendo announced the Switch. I was just starting to become a Nintendo die-hard during the Wii U when the trailer dropped the next day and my teacher who was also a Nintendo fanboy showed it too me. I nearly cried that day. I can't wait to get my hands on the next Nintendo console.
Can’t wait for Thursday so everyone can relax. I don’t think they’re gonna announce it. I’ll be surprised.
If I were Nintendo I purposely wouldn't show the switch 2 off yet just to screw with the leakers 😂
Thursday : alarmo 2
LOL. Or a new controller for NSO. New mini console. Plenty of possibilities
I love you fellas. Glad we made it. 🤝
1:46 not canceling your swing to save weapon durability? tsk tsk tsk cant be doing that arlo, CMON 🗣️🗣️🗣️
IKR
the switch was revealed eight years ago. Furukawa took over as CEO as well as Doug Bowser for NOA. Not to mention a lot of the Switch's concept was headed by the late Iwata. This is not to say strategy has changed just because leadership has, but I do think that's enough reason to expect a different approach this time around.
Generally if Nate says something, it’s almost always accurate.
Honestly, a reveal for the successor for my most played console ever coming out the day after my birthday would be a perfect gift from Nintendo!
please thank me for locking in a switch 2 reveal by deciding to go watch nosferatu on thursday
God I hope all of this is some elaborate ruse and we get a "Switch Together" or something in 2027. Imagine how funny it would be.
If only I had a nickel for every time a rumor about the Switch 2 being revealed this week…
This one is it
@@christianr.5868 I’ll hold you up to that. See you by the end of the week
@@christianr.5868 As much as people say this, I've been paying attention hardcore to this stuff for the last few weeks. No one credible has so much as given an estimation for when this will be revealed up to this point beyond January from that guy who leaked the system on Christmas, giving his estimation of January. This is the first time we've had not just one credible person, but multiple credible people back a specific date.
If I recall correctly, when those rumors of the Switch 2 being revealed last year was closer to October. But end the end Alarmo was revealed after a bunch of outlets were saying something about Nintendo showing off new hardware
You COULD say it too Arlo, but you don't have Nate's accurate track record of predictions and leaks. Plus it makes sense to reveal it now before their next investors meeting beginning of February.
No Arlo! Don’t get your hopes up!!!!!
Alarmo U Confirmed
Arlo seems more skeptical than most
Eurogamer, VGC, Kit and Krysta, The Verge, and Tom Warren have all corroborated Thursday. It's Thursdsy.
@@JsYTA finally I passed up the alarmo but if they made a new version with confusing marketing that sold poorly then I would buy in.
@@ScooterCat64 yeah, I just commented from the title before I finished watching. This was also for me. I need to not get my hopes up.
2:53 Good, keep going.
I feel the exact same way. Preach!
I don't think it's going to be a 3D Mario game, I think it's going to be the first party 3D Donkey Kong game.
The Sony Switch 2.
No cartridge port. You can buy one separately that plugs into the USB C.
Dock and controllers sold separately.
30 fps with AI interlacing for 4k high graphics. Or 60 fps with AI interlacing to get either 2k high, or 4k with low settings.
No new games.
But there'll be a Mario Odyssey remastered remake for it next year.
Starting price $599.99 USD
Wondered when we’d hear your take on these rumors. I’m going crazy🐃
We will get another Pokemon Legends ZA trailer at the same time as the switch 2 reveal and I'll come out with the switch 2. You heard it here first.
What I love is we have been staying announcement coming soon, every day this year lol. I remember hearing "announcement dec 8" lol
