Update: ‘Leaker’ admits on the GTA forums that he made it all up.
Yes, it has unsurprisingly happened again. Another Switch 2 rumor has surfaced online, and it is another rumor from someone with a history of leaking announcements before they had officially happened. However, if this were to end up being true, it would result in a lot of different things relating to the Switch 2 being leaked in advance.
The latest rumor comes from Average Lucia Fanatic. If you don’t know who this person is, they have been getting lots of attention in recent months. That’s because Average Lucia Fanatic was the leaker of the reveal dates of the PlayStation 5 Pro and Nintendo Sound Clock Alarmo. So, they do have a track record of getting things right.
Assuming that Average Lucia Fanatic is correct, the Switch 2 will be revealed next week, on January 17th. It will launch on March 3rd with a $400 retail price in Canada. Average Lucia Fanatic mentions that the launch lineup will include Mario Kart 9 and Red Dead Redemption 2, but we will also get an announcement trailer for a brand new 3D Mario game. You can see a social media post relaying Average Lucia Fanatic’s remarks about the matter down below.

oh god please be true, CAN’T WAIT MUCH LONGER THAN A WEEK!
Real. And I’m thinking Elden ring would be day one too which is great for me.
He made the whole thing up because he is a scumbag! This should be enough to no longer feed these attention seeking basrards! I hope he gets a belt of a bus!
You should consume more fiber in your diet.

DAAAAAAAAAAANG BRO, is this mynintendonews or twitter?
Tentri is a cigarette!? Oh my god! The cancer sticks have finally become sentient!
Same. I was hoping the reveal will happen at the end of this month.
Why on earth would you want it at the end of the month rather than an immediate reveal ?
He made it up.
I know this guy has some cred (though from memory I think when he leaked Alarmo’s announcement he actually thought or implied it was Switch 2?), but this seems a little farfetched. Announcement on a Friday…I guess, maybe, but it’s unlike Nintendo. But launch on 3rd March. Obviously that it is a super quick turnaround from announcement to release. And 3rd March, whilst obviously being significant as the 8th anniversary of Switch’s release, is a Monday, which seems a very peculiar day to release.
Mario Kart 9 and RDR2 as launch titles is believable (I assume there are more too!), but I think overall for me this is a little too unlikely for me to believe for now. Obviously that means if he’s correct his credit shoots way up as this stuff would be impossible to guess, but for now I will doubt.
He admitted to making it all up. He is pure scum for doing that
Source: trust me bro.
So many assumptions and leaks and rumours, one things for sure it’s anytime now for a reveal so someone’s gona get it right in a minute, I’m thinking next week or the week after on a Thursday. My prediction, could be right, who knows.
One thing I do think though is Mario kart 9 will def not be a launch title unless switch 2 releases near the end of the year. Mario kart 9 ( or whatever it’ll be called ) is DEF gona be a big Christmas, system selling game for Nintendo, 100%.
Launch line up I’m thinking, new 3D Mario game and possibly Metroid prime 4 (crossover), updates for botw, maybe other games in time and some big third party titles such as Elden ring
This could be it… an official announcement from Nintendo may soon come out next week via Twitter/X and Instagram.
For now, please take that rumor with a trace of salt.
I’m so desperate for a Switch 2 announcement that I’m gonna give this person the benefit of the doubt. If they’re wrong, I’ve been disappointed plenty of times before, so what’s one more.
His information is pretty accurate.
You love character wars and harassment of devs
Oh sweet, another head for me to live rent free in.
I really hope so. It’s just getting obnoxious at this point.
Mmmm this has to be true.

I’m skeptical but still hoping there’s truth to this. The part that raises my eyebrow however is the purported launch date: March 3rd. Seems a little too specific to launch it exactly 8 years after the original Switch, especially since the 3rd this year is a Monday. I can’t think of any consoles ever launching on a Monday.
I taken so many grains of salt from these leaks that I can float in my bathtub
Yeah, I hope for him that he’s not wrong, otherwise his reputation will take a hit but I can already sense the bogus excuse like “Nintendo had to postpone the presentation because of Microsoft”…
But the supposed release date is far-fetched…as luck would have it the same date as the Switch but above all also oroche…no it smells like the end of the year.
Yeah I dont believe this. Just my smell test, but sounds fake with those launch titles and realiser date, too bad because I want to believe that reveal date
Nooo! Wait one more week. I’m moving next week and I want to be able to pre-order a Switch 2 after it’s announced. I thought I was in the clear. Just wait one more stinking week so I can secure my next gen Nintendo device.
january 17th is the only thing plausible of it everything else no way jose
It really was a “trust me bro”, see this is why I don’t trust nor believe any rumors especially from credible sources and when I say don’t trust nor believe in them I get laughed at for being correct. Who’s laughing now?
At least I saw it coming.
So you’re praising a POS thief, got it
