First, Redditors spotted this post on X from Nintendo leaker Samus Hunter a few days ago. https://twitter.com/samushunter2/status/1868898948825727415 The insider says Nintendo might unveil the Switch 2 before 'DK,' which can only be the next Donkey Kong game for the Switch, Donkey Kong Country Returns HD. The Redditors point out the game might be released on January 16th, 2025. Therefore, the Switch 2 could be announced on or before that dat
