  • The insider 荷姆荷姆嗼 is doing a cryptic countdown using the Fibonacci sequence that ends on January 8th.
  • They previously leaked the complete Nintendo Direct in June but were largely ignored in the West.

The Nintendo Switch has cemented itself as one of the most successful consoles to launch, still reaching accolades previously thought impossible. It’s no surprise that many fans are excited for the console’s successor. Rumors have claimed it will be a huge iterative upgrade with a $499 price tag, but not many official details are known. However, this silence might be ending pretty soon.

A prolific Chinese insider has teased that Nintendo will announce the Switch 2 on January 8th. This same insider previously unveiled the entire June Nintendo Direct but was largely ignored in the West.

Why it matters: The Nintendo insider’s cryptic countdown at such an opportune time hints at the Switch 2 announcement date, as claimed by fans who connected the dots. 

The acclaimed insider is doing a countdown using Fibbonachi sequence that ends on January 8th, hinting towards Switch 2 announcement.

As spotted by @CentroLeaks on Twitter, the insider 荷姆荷姆嗼 (HomeHolm) has been doing a cryptic countdown since December 21 that ends on January 8th. He is teasing that Nintendo will reveal the Switch 2 in January for a March launch.

The leaker on Weibo has a pretty strong track record, and if his past leaks are anything to go by, this countdown is the Switch 2 announcement date.

For those not in the know, past Switch 2 rumors and design leaks have suggested that it will have an 8-inch screen, Hall Effect Joy-Cons, two USB-C ports, and improved Joy-Con sockets. An alleged Switch 2 dev also claimed that its hardware is very capable.

It is best to take these tidbits with a big pinch of salt, as Nintendo has ignored the ongoing rumor mill that began in the last few weeks.
