Nintendo Switch: New console will be presented later this year!

Rumors about the new Nintendo console have been circulating the Internet for years. However, there has been consistent radio silence from Nintendo on the subject – until now!

Nintendo recently published a business report, which, however, does not mention a Nintendo Switch 2 at all. The company recently addressed fans via social media and confirmed: The new console will be presented this year.

The company’s president, Shuntarō Furukawa, is quoted in this. He explains: “This is Furukawa, the president of Nintendo. We will be making an announcement about the successor to the Nintendo Switch this fiscal year. It has now been over nine years since we confirmed the existence of the Nintendo Switch in March 2015. “

If you’re confused about all this business talk, let’s make this period a little more concrete: Nintendo’s current fiscal year ends on March 31, 2025. So we may have to wait several more months.

Furukawa also states when the Nintendo Switch 2 will not be shown. The company wants to broadcast a new edition of the Nintendo Direct presentation in June 2024. Perfect for the Summer Game Fest. Here we only see new games, not fresh hardware.

So exactly when we will be presented with the Switch 2 is still up in the air. Recently there were rumors that the release had been postponed internally to 2025. This could be somewhat consistent with Furukawa’s statements, as the reveal is likely to take place relatively late this year. Only recently did the company finally reject Gamescom.
