Nintendo has taken down the original announcement video for the Nintendo Switch from YouTube. While this may be due to music licensing issues, fans are hopeful that a new announcement, specifically for the Switch 2, is on the horizon.
Since its launch in 2017, the Nintendo Switch has seen various iterations, including themed versions, the OLED model, and the Nintendo Lite. However, it has been six years since the release of the original Switch, leaving many wondering when the Switch 2 will make its debut.
In the past, Nintendo has removed the announcement video of the previous version of the Switch from YouTube before launching a new version. This pattern has led fans to speculate that a Switch 2 announcement could be imminent.
There have been reports that Nintendo showcased the Switch 2 at Gamescom this year, further fueling the anticipation for an announcement. While the removal of the original Switch announcement video could be attributed to music licensing issues, fans are still hopeful that it signifies the upcoming launch of the Switch 2.
However, the likelihood of an immediate Switch 2 announcement is uncertain. It is more probable that the video was taken down solely due to the licensing issues surrounding the song used in the video. The band White Denim’s track “Ha Ha Ha Ha (Yeah)” has faced legal issues, resulting in the removal of the album from Spotify and other music streaming platforms.
While fans may hope for the reupload of the nostalgic announcement video, it is important to temper expectations regarding the imminent release of the Switch 2.
