We've been waiting for that sweet Nintendo Switch 2 announcement for ages — wait a minute there is years have passed — but as of today, we are finally on the right track. That is if your 'home straight' consists of 100 days to go.
We know the announcement is coming “this fiscal year,” and if you count today (December 22) as Day 1, there are only 100 possible days left for Nintendo to announce the “successor to the Nintendo Switch” before April 1 arrives and enter following fiscal year. Things get slippery when you start factoring in boring hours, but if today = day 1, March 31 = day 100. You are good.
We certainly hope it won't take a full 14-something weeks to cough up more information, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. It also means we have at most 100 more days of 'leaks' and rumors left before we finally see what the damn thing is actually is, and that's cause for celebration in our book.
Of course, plans could change behind closed doors, and the promise of “this fiscal year” isn't a solid guarantee – remember Hollow Knight: Silksong “within the next 12 months”? We have — but let's not get bogged down in negativity. Either way, Nintendo won't want to piss off its investors, who are as eager to see what's to come as we are.
So, happy '100 days to go' to everyone who opens their Switch 2 advent calendar today! Hopefully you won't have to open it all that door before Nintendo shows us the goods.
Do you think it will take the full 100 days for the 'Switch 2' reveal or maybe we'll get a bit earlier? Let us know in the following poll, then share your successor hopes and dreams in the comments.
