Nintendo Switch 2 reveal delay rumors explained
According to a new rumor, Nintendo was planning to unveil the Nintendo Switch 2 sometime this week, but has reportedly postponed the announcement.
On October 9, Nintendo announced that it would conduct playtests and open application opportunities the very next day. The place was packed within a minute and the players seemed ready to try whatever opportunity presented itself. Nintendo has since announced that space has been filled in the first-come, first-serve test. Gamers may be greedy for new games, consoles, and features, but this was still an impressive response, as Nintendo planned to offer up to 10,000 spots in the test shared across all participating regions.
Nintendo Switch fans dig into the purpose of playtesting
Nintendo hasn't revealed exactly what the company is testing. What we do know is that participants will need a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pass subscription to participate. After researching the site, we discovered that players will also need to use a wired Internet connection during testing, and that files will be available for download starting October 21st. Participants will need a whopping 2.2GB of space on their internal storage. Once you download it, testing will begin on October 23rd. Fans are speculating that this could have something to do with cloud gaming.
Nintendo has promised playtesters secrecy, so those involved are expected to remain tight-lipped. However, leaks are very prevalent in games, and the chances of something leaking once testing begins are quite high. For now, Nintendo Switch enthusiasts will have to remain patient for testing purposes and while waiting for information regarding the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.
