But this didnt happen.
In fact, Nintendo didnt reveal a single thing at the show.
When Could The Nintendo Switch 2 Be Revealed?
Fast-forward to December of that year and Reggie Fils-Aime appeared onThe Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallonto play Zelda.
It was a concerted effort to market the console to a mainstream audience after the Wii Us failure.
A more comprehensive Switch reveal event followed in January 2017, two months before release.
It was a bumper event, and the last of its kind Nintendo has held since.
Expect word on that early next year and perhaps at very short notice.
Speaking of…
When Could The Nintendo Switch 2 Be Released?
Right now, we know the Nintendo Switch 2 is launching at some point in 2025.
Instead, were left to speculate.
Will it natively improve performance/graphics on games we already own?
Will the user interface be similar?
Will friend codes carry over?
Thats why the decision to skip The Game Awards altogether is such a strange one.
