Have you heard about the Nintendo Switch 2? It’s that elusive piece of tech that has sparked endless speculation and left fans eagerly awaiting any morsel of official news. In the quest for clues, some enthusiasts have turned to tarot cards for answers.
Yes, you read that right. Instead of using their current Nintendo Switch to play games like The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood—which, interestingly enough, features its own quirky element like a sex toy—folks are pulling tarot cards, hoping to divine when Nintendo might finally lift the curtain on this much-anticipated console.
A recent discussion thread titled “Tarot Reader Predicts Switch 2 Reveal is Imminent” has gained traction on the r/NintendoSwitch2 subreddit. According to the post by user Future31, a Famiboards moderator going by the name Tangerine_Cookie performed a tarot reading. This isn’t their first rodeo, as they’ve supposedly nailed predictions before, like calling the release of the Metroid Prime 4 trailer last June. Now, the cards suggest that the Switch 2 announcement is around the corner.
This might sound like wishful thinking, especially amid all the current rumors about alleged Switch 2 leaks. But let’s hear them out. Future31 shares that the three tarot cards drawn were the Five of Swords (Reversed), the Nine of Pentacles (Reversed), and the Four of Wands. Each card has its own meanings: the Five of Swords suggests “compromise, moving on, open to change, end of conflict,” the Nine of Pentacles hints at “setbacks, poor investment, burning out, undeserved rewards,” and the Four of Wands signifies “celebration, prosperity, surprise, earned success, and joy.”
According to the poster, this card combo implies that the long wait for the Switch 2 reveal is nearly over. “These themes of compromise and resolution indicate that it’s finally time to move from speculation to celebration,” they suggest. “After lingering setbacks, including the canceled Switch Pro and the prolonged life of the original Switch, which has outperformed expectations, the time has come for a new chapter.”
They add, “Once the Switch 2 is unveiled, Nintendo can look forward to a launch filled with excitement and new successes that are rightly deserved.”
Naturally, some folks are skeptical. Even the staunchest Nintendo fans drew the line here. One commenter playfully remarked, “This proves we’ve officially lost it.”
So, will the Switch 2 be announced soon? Until the tarot cards can pinpoint an exact date and time, they might not sway those who haven’t invested too much thought into the color of joy-cons.
