For the past few weeks, rumors have been swirling about the successor to the Nintendo Switch, which Nintendo is set to fully reveal sometime before March 2025.

The prevailing speculation based on the current rumors is that Nintendo plans to reveal the “Switch 2” next month in January 2025. Now, a new rumor has surfaced teasing a specific date. This comes via a user from the Chinese forum weibo, who reportedly leaked the contents of the most recent Nintendo Direct presentation. Said leaker has started a countdown on the forum, which ends on January 8th 2025, which many have taken to mean Nintendo will finally reveal the Switch 2 on that date.
