This is Furukawa, President of Nintendo. We will be making an announcement about the successor to the Nintendo Switch this fiscal year. It’s been over nine years since we announced the Nintendo Switch in March 2015. We will be hosting a Nintendo Direct in June about upcoming Nintendo Switch games for the second half of 2024. However, note that the Nintendo Switch successor is not mentioned in this presentation.
While many thought that this fiscal year would not only include the announcement of the “Nintendo Switch 2” But also (and especially) its publication, new information on this topic has recently come to light, which may not be to everyone’s liking …
A release date that is gradually shifting
This happened during a question and answer session with investors Shuntaro Furukawa has made new revelations about the successor to the Nintendo Switch. According to the translation of GamesIndustry.bizThe current fiscal year forecast only includes sales for Nintendo Switchand not that of the Nintendo Switch 2. Accordingly FurukawaThe Switch is expected to sell over 13.5 million units this year, but he makes it clear that these numbers do not affect the next console, which would therefore not be published in the 2024 financial year.
According to the words of FurukawaNo release window has been set at this time, meaning the Nintendo Switch 2 could come out at any time after April 1, 2025, and not a day before. In other words, the rumors about a possible delay that surfaced in February 2024 would ultimately be true, as they see the release of the next-gen console in March 2025 at the earliest. We will probably have to wait more than a year until the successor to the Nintendo Switch is released… But based on the latest information about its components, it could be well worth the wait!
