"Nintendo WILL announce the Switch 2 in March. Everything I'm hearing dating back to Gamescom last year has indicated something was happening in March. That talk has resurfaced in the past few weeks, and it is indicating that the Switch 2 is set for a reveal or an announcement in March."

That's from the same RELIABLE leaker from a year ago and that's just the first one I saw. The amount of leakers who claimed it would get announced over the last year is comically large. I guess if you post this once a week eventually you'll be right. I mean, yeah an announcement seems likely at this point but there's no need to bring Randomguess McGee into the conversation.

Plans can change in the course of a year. At the time, that probably was their plan, and that it didn't happen doesn't make it a guess. We're hearing this same reveal on the 16th from multiple corroborating sources at this point.

Tom Warren from the verge is also saying that it'll be this week, so that gives this leak a lot of credibility imo.

Nintendo themselves confirmed that the console will be released in 2025.

So half the accurate leaks will be people mapping out when this will likely be and then backwards marketing plans to release and announcements

Maybe Wilds will be a launch game and Nintendo anticipated the release to capitalise on it? Dunno, just playing devil's advocate.
