Rumors of the Nintendo Switch successor ("Nintendo Switch 2") reveal have been swirling lately among both gaming media and fans. While the focus was originally on September, it's possible the reveal could occur in October too. The original Switch was revealed in October 2016 for release in March 2017.

If you'd like to bet on September instead, use my other market here. If you'd like to bet on November or December, I recommend this other market here. I won't create markets for those months as I personally believe next year is much more likely if there is no reveal by end of October.

For clarity, this market will resolve to YES if key information like an official photo or name of the next-generation system is revealed by Nintendo during October 2024. (inclusive of both US and Japan time zones) The mere existence of a successor system was already confirmed earlier this year, so a 'reveal' would need to be some piece of additional new and significant information building on what is already known.

@Nightsquared the switch 2 is actually going to be announced in August 2027

(inclusive of both US and Japan time zones)

so, in some edge case like the reveal happening on September 30 9AM PT which is October 1 1AM JST, both the September and October markets could resolve YES?

(and thanks for endorsing my market :3)

@Robincvgr Huh, I suppose you're right lol, yeah it could then. Maybe writing that in wasn't the best idea, but my thought is that since Nintendo is based in JST, it's best to have that possibility covered.
