Summary
- If the endless reports and rumours are to be believed, it looks like we'll finally be seeing the Switch 2 very soon.
- That reveal will reportedly focus on the console itself, with a more detailed look at its games coming later in the year.

According to a reliable reporter, the long-awaited reveal of the will be structured similarly to the or⛦iginal Switch's announcement by focusing on the cons💮ole and leaving a full showcase for later on in the year.
From the moment that Nintendo confirmed production on the Nin𝔉tendo Switch's successor was i🀅n full swing, it's been one of the most hotly-anticipated announcements in recent memory. That was true for all of 2024, but now that we're finally approaching the finish line with a reveal comi🉐ng before March, the excitement has reached a fever pitch.
The Switch 2 Needs A Com♚pletely Different Strategy From The🍎 Switch
The failure of the Wii U set the Switc🐎h up for massive success. The Switch 2 can't run that playbook.
The only thing we have left to do now is wait for Nintendo to actually announce the Switch's successor, something that accessory manufacturers and leakers have🔯 already been trying to do over the past few m🥃onths.

That strategy certainly worked for the first Switch but, if Rob൩inson's report is correct, it does seem a little strange after so much waiting.
