The announcement inches ever closer…
This recent wave of info doesn’t have the same level of evidence as previous leaks (hard-to-beat prototype images, after all), but when this information is so expected, people are bound to latch on.
It’s easy to predict Nintendo’s next move here, and with how long the Switch has existed, they’ve had ample time to cook up a sequel.

In this situation, the weight of a reputable insider is more than enough to satisfy most onlookers. Nintendo has to, and is expected to, get the Switch 2 onto store shelves sooner rather than later.
