So, have you heard about the Nintendo Switch 2? It’s that elusive little gadget everyone’s been dying to hear about for ages. Lately, some fans have become so eager for any hints of an announcement that they’ve turned to tarot cards for answers. Yes, you heard that right. Instead of doing tarot readings on your current Switch while playing games like The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood, players are now trying to use them to predict when Nintendo will finally unveil their new toy.
There was a recent burst of interest on the subreddit r/NintendoSwitch2, where a post titled “Tarot Reader Predicts Switch 2 Reveal is Imminent” is getting quite a bit of attention. According to the poster, someone known as Tangerine_Cookie, who moderates Famiboards, conducted a tarot reading that many say eerily predicted the Metroid Prime 4 trailer release in Nintendo’s last June direct. Now, the reading hints that the Switch 2 is on the horizon.
With so many supposed leaks about the Switch 2 floating around right now, it’s almost impossible to keep track. But according to the post by Future31, the tarot reading pulled three specific cards: The Five of Swords (Reversed), the Nine of Pentacles (Reversed), and the Four of Wands. These cards are said to symbolize “compromise and moving on,” “setbacks and poor investments,” and “celebration and prosperity,” respectively.
Based on these readings, Future31 believes this mix suggests that an announcement is coming soon. They explain, “The theme of compromise and the end of conflict indicates that the long wait is almost over. It’s time to stop guessing about the Switch 2 and start enjoying it. Then, we’ll have the fun of figuring out what to speculate on next.”
However, Future31 does acknowledge some obstacles along the way. “We’ve hit a few bumps, like the canceled Switch Pro and this unusually lengthy generation. Early Switch models are definitely aging, and the mention of undeserved rewards points out that Nintendo’s still raking in sales without new hardware. Maybe the poor investment bit involves Samsung somehow—it seems to fit.”
The final card suggests that soon we’ll be celebrating not just the reveal but also the launch of the Switch 2. “This new lineup will bring joy and fresh surprises, and it’s definitely going to be a financial success for Nintendo.”
Many devoted Switch fans have reacted skeptically, though. One person commented, “Solid evidence that we’ve gone nuts.”
So, will the Switch 2 be revealed soon? Who knows. Unless those tarot cards can cough up an exact date and time, many are going to remain skeptical—unless, of course, you’ve been staring at way too many joy-con memes.
