The stupidest Switch 2 announcement theory yet is based on a Lunchables promotion

Nintendo’s hybrid Switch console is now almost eight years old and fans are desperately waiting for news about the console’s successor. Rumors and alleged leaks have been circulating for over a year now, and while we get closer to a real announcement every day, everyone is keeping a close eye on everything to see when we can get a look at the Switch 2. And we mean everything – like Lunchables.

Jeff Grubb of Venturebeat’s GamesBeat reported on Twitter that Nintendo’s marketing deal with Lunchables, which has been running for many years and featured Nintendo characters on the packaging of certain products, appears to have recently ended. The tweet came after a previous request for information about Lunchables, in which Grubb asked his followers to send pictures of the food product.

In the responses, a person claiming to be a food executive commented that the partnership appeared to have ended recently and that the last product with Nintendo marketing shipped “around September 30th.” Grubb jokes that “Lunchables confirms Switch 2,” but points out that this is almost certainly just because the contract ended and is not a sign that the Switch 2 announcement is coming soon.

The Switch 2 is expected to be announced any day now, with Nintendo previously confirming that a The Switch successor will be announced before April 2025 — Start of the company’s next fiscal year. The console is expected to be a hybrid console, similar to the Switch itself, but details on this are sparse so far.

However, that hasn’t stopped obvious leaks from cropping up Last month, a rumored leak surfaced that looked a lot like a larger Switch. So far, none of these rumors and leaks have been confirmed, and the rest of the world is just waiting for Nintendo to say something – anything – so we’re left waiting, wondering, and looking to Lunchables for clues.
