Heard about the Nintendo Switch 2? It’s that much-anticipated device everyone’s been buzzing about, despite Nintendo playing their cards very close to the chest. The excitement’s turned into a frenzy, with some fans so eager for new information that they’re turning to unconventional sources like tarot readings for answers.
Yes, you read that right. Instead of just messing around with tarot cards on games like The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood, passionate gamers are trying to divine when Nintendo will finally say, “Alright folks, here’s what you’ve been waiting for.”
Recently, a thread titled “Tarot Reader Predicts Switch 2 Reveal is Imminent” gained traction on r/NintendoSwitch2, garnering quite a few upvotes. According to this post by user Future31, a moderator from Famiboards, known as Tangerine_Cookie, pulled out their tarot deck—a deck that apparently predicted the release of a Metroid Prime 4 trailer in June—and emerged with a forecast indicating that the Switch 2 reveal is on the horizon.
Now, before you raise an eyebrow, let’s add some context. We’ve been drowning in scoops and rumors about possible Switch 2 leaks for a while now. Future31 says Tangerine_Cookie drew the Five of Swords (Reversed), the Nine of Pentacles (Reversed), and the Four of Wands, cards that symbolize concepts such as “compromise and moving on,” “setbacks and poor investment,” and “celebration and success,” respectively.
This combination leads Future31 to predict that the reveal is near: “The cards hint that the long wait is ending,” they suggest, “We’re shifting from guessing about the Switch 2 to actually experiencing it, and on to speculating about the next big thing.”
Future31 goes further, reflecting on the journey up to now: “We’ve seen setbacks like the internal cancellation of the Switch Pro, and this generation feels abnormally prolonged. First-gen Switches are showing their age, yet sales remain strong despite a lack of new hardware. Maybe the ‘poor investment’ involves Samsung somehow—it makes a certain sense.”
“And soon, we’ll celebrate the reveal and launch of the Switch 2, complete with all the exciting surprises of the new lineup, securing Nintendo both financial and critical success.”
Skeptical? That’s the natural reaction from several devoted fans. “This is concrete proof,” one remarked, “That we’ve completely lost it.”
Whether or not the Switch 2 will be announced shortly is anyone’s guess. Unless these mystical cards can pinpoint an exact date and time, it’s safe to say they won’t convince anyone except those who’ve perhaps spent too long examining their joy-cons and dreaming of what’s next.
