Press and developers invited to Nintendo
If there is one announcement that players are eagerly awaiting, it is the one from Nintendo Switch 2. Although we do not yet officially know the name and shape, the successor console to the Nintendo Switch is indeed a reality. The Japanese manufacturer even stated a few months ago that they could think about it “the next model of Nintendo Switch“, which could reassure those who feared that such a good concept would be lost in a risky search for innovation, as we can often see at Nintendo. But Big N remains very reticent on the subject for now, and has even preferred to announce right before the last two Nintendo Directs that the console will not be presented there. However, All this could soon change if recent events are to be believed.
Rumor has it that many developers were invited to Nintendo of America yesterday.

It is said that many developers were invited by Nintendo of America yesterday.
We don’t know why at the moment, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the Switch 2.
NVC Podcast Team: “We were invited to something Nintendo-related next week, but we can’t talk about it”
Developer yesterday. Press next week.
Math is math. It’s almost time.

The NVC Podcast Team (the Nintendo podcast from our colleagues at IGN, editor’s note): “Nintendo invited us to something next week, but we can’t talk about it.”
Developers yesterday. The press next week.
The calculations are correct. We’re almost there.
You read that right, there are serious rumors circulating According to reports, many developers from Nintendo of America were invited yesterday. In the current context, all this could already be interpreted as a presentation of the console for those who will soon have to work on it. But beyond that The NVC podcast team announced that they had also been invited, without being able to say moreMany are starting to think that the Nintendo Switch 2 should be announced soon, and we have to admit that the event is imminent.
A new game will be officially released on the next Nintendo console
But if Nintendo’s invitation to developers and press isn’t enough to convince you of an imminent announcement of the Nintendo Switch replacement, then you know thatA first game has been officially announced for this future consoleIn fact, the makers of My Time At Portia and My Time At Sandrock released the first trailer for their third game just a few hours ago: My time at Evershine. At the end of the latter (which you can discover in our automatic player) we can see that only the Steam, PS5 and Xbox Series logos are present. The Nintendo Switch is therefore conspicuous by its absence, which is very surprising for a game like this. There is actually a very concrete explanation for this: the game will actually appear on Nintendo’s next console. The developers at Pathea Games have actually announced:
We aim to release My Time at Evershine on PC, Xbox Series, PlayStation 5, and future Nintendo platforms that have not yet been announced.
The first game announced for this future console is officially My Time at Evershine, although the developers have obviously been careful not to reveal the logo or the name of the console in question. If we mix this announcement with the invitations mentioned above, we have to admit that everything seems to be accelerating at Nintendo. We assume that we will have to be patient until we can spot the beast, but we very much hope that it is only a matter of days.
