Nintendo announcement coming this week claims insider but it’s not what you want

Everyone’s waiting for the announcement of the Switch 2, but Nintendo may have other priorities for this week. Nintendo may have had innocent intentions when it announced the company’s next console will be revealed at some point before April, but as we approach the closing date their strategy has led to some feral side effects.

With so many leaks about the console, the deadline date has made every other official announcement since seem like a calculated act of trolling – between Alarmo clocks, music apps, and Direct presentations dedicated to the Nintendo Museum. Another announcement which would have been more positively received at another time is the revamped version of Xenoblade Chronicles X and it seems like the Switch port might be taking centre stage this week, instead of the new console.
Insiders have suggested Nintendo could reveal its next console in the first week of January, but insider Pyoro, who is generally reliable when it comes to Nintendo leaks, has claimed there will be only be news about Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition.
When asked about the Switch 2 reveal speculation on X, Pyoro remained coy on the subject until someone asked directly about Xenoblade, which prompted a vague emoji to suggest that will be the announcement. When probed further, Pyoro, who originally teased the Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition announcement last year, before it was officially annouced, replied: ‘Last time due to my vagueness, people expected the Switch 2 announcement but it turned out to Xenoblade. I don’t want to mislead y’all again.’.
