When Will the Nintendo Switch 2 Be Unveiled? Fans Turn to Tarot for Clues—or Are They?

Heard of the Nintendo Switch 2? It’s the little device everyone’s been buzzing about, searching high and low for any shred of news. The anticipation has gotten so intense that some fans have taken to using tarot cards to predict its revelation.

Yes, you heard it right. Instead of just using tarot cards for a fun twist on games like ‘The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood’—a game that intriguingly includes a sex toy—some are speculating when Nintendo might finally unveil this much-anticipated piece of hardware.

A popular post titled “Tarot Reader Predicts Switch 2 Reveal is Imminent” recently surfaced on the r/NintendoSwitch2 forum, garnering quite a few upvotes. The poster, known as Future31, shares that a moderator on Famiboards named Tangerine_Cookie used their tarot deck—which had accurately hinted at the release of the Metroid Prime 4 trailer in the previous June’s Direct—to predict this latest development. And their cards suggest that the Switch 2 announcement is right around the corner.

None of this speculation arises from the many supposed Switch 2 leaks circulating at present. If you’re curious, Future31 details that the three cards drawn were The Five of Swords (Reversed), the Nine of Pentacles (Reversed), and the Four of Wands. These typically signify themes like “compromise, moving on, open to change, end of conflict,” “setbacks, poor investment, burning out, undeserved rewards,” and “celebration, prosperity, surprise, earned success and joy,” respectively.

According to Future31, these cards collectively hint at an imminent reveal. They argue, “The notions of compromise and the conclusion of conflict signal the wait is over. We’re transitioning from speculation to enjoyment of the Switch 2 and contemplating what our next guessing game will be.”

They continue, “There have definitely been a few bumps along the way! We know the planned Switch Pro was scrapped internally, and this console generation has stretched on. Original Switches are beginning to falter, while Nintendo continues to bag significant sales without any fresh hardware—an example of those undeserved rewards. I suspect the poor investment could somehow involve Samsung.”

“But soon, we’ll rejoice in the Switch 2’s announcement and launch, relishing every joyful surprise of the debut lineup—the kind of success that’s well-earned for Nintendo.”

You can just imagine the skepticism—reactions haven’t been lacking, not even from the die-hard analysts. “This clearly shows we’ve lost our minds,” comments one user humorously.

So, when will the Switch 2 actually be unveiled? Whether or not this prediction holds water, it’s clear that unless tarot can pinpoint a specific date and time, the likelihood of wide acceptance is slim, especially among those who’ve spent just a bit too much time gazing at joy-con images.
