Do you know the Nintendo Switch 2? That little thing that absolutely no one has speculated about and has been hungry for news for a while? Well, some fans now seem to be so desperate for clues that might help them figure out when a reveal is coming that they’re resorting to tarot readings.
Yep, forget giving tarot readings on your current Switch while playing The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood, a game that has its own sex toy. We’re trying to use it to figure out when the suits at Nintendo will be good, time to show them everything.”

“Tarot Reader Predicts Switch 2 Reveal Is Imminent,” reads the title of a recent post on r/NintendoSwitch2 that received quite a few upvotes. The poster, user Future31, claims that a moderator on Famiboards with the handle Tangerine_Cookie recently took a reading using their deck – which this user says is the case previously predicted correctly the Metroid Prime 4 trailer was supposed to appear in the immediate area last June – and the conclusion you can draw is that the Switch reveal is coming soon.
Obviously, you wouldn’t be able to infer this as a possibility from all the news stories about alleged Switch 2 leaks coming out at the moment.
According to Future31, the three cards drawn when the deck was asked about the Switch 2 reveal were The Five of Swords (Reversed), the Nine of Pentacles (Reversed), and the Four of Wands. The poster says these cards can represent ‘compromise, moving on, openness to change, end of conflict’, ‘setbacks, bad investments, burnout, unearned rewards’ and ‘celebration, prosperity, surprise, deserved success and joy. “respectively.
This combination, this poster believes, points to an upcoming reveal. “The themes of compromise and end of conflict indicate that the great wait for the reveal is over,” they reason, “it’s time to move on from Switch 2 speculation to Switch 2 fun, and move through the period of ‘what are we speculating? about the next one?’.
“However, there have been setbacks here! We know the Switch Pro was canceled internally, and this generation has been super long. Launch Switches are definitely burning out, and the theme of unearned rewards clearly speaks to the fact that Nintendo is still doing pretty good sales numbers without any new hardware, I’m assuming the bad investment has something to do with Samsung somehow, that does fit.
“Soon we will celebrate the reveal and launch of the Switch 2, with all the joy and surprises that come from the launch lineup – something that will surely make Nintendo a lot of money, and a deserved success.”
Sure, Jan. That, as you can imagine, has been the reaction of many of the most hardened Switch truthers. “This is solid evidence,” one person writes, “that we have gone crazy.”
Will the Switch 2 be revealed soon? Either way, unless your fancy cards are willing to include a concrete date and time, chances are they won’t be believed by anyone who hasn’t spent too much time staring at pictures of joy-cons.
