Nintendo confirmed it will talk about upcoming Switch games in a Direct this June, as well as its Nintendo Switch successor before the end of the fiscal year.
Nintendo has finally confirmed two important things that people were speculating about. First off, we learned that another Nintendo Direct showcase will be taking place this June. More importantly, Nintendo finally confirmed that it is working on a Nintendo Switch successor and said we’d learn more about it within this fiscal year.
This all came from a statement by President Shuntaro Furukawa on Nintendo’s corporate X account. “We will make an announcement about the successor to Nintendo Switch within this fiscal year. It will have been over nine years since we announced the existence of Nintendo Switch back in March 2015,” the post confirms.
Recommended Videos The simple confirmation of another Nintendo console is a big deal, as the Japanese gaming giant had not commented on that at all until now. That hasn’t stopped a flurry of rumors about the platform, which has become colloquially become known as Nintendo Switch 2, including made-up release windows from AI companies.
Related That Nintendo Direct will be taking place this June, we’ve learned. A more specific date and time has not been shared yet. It’s a presentation that the Nintendo Switch sorely needs, though, as the system does not have a concrete game release lineup following Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD this June. Hopefully, we learn more about games like Metroid Prime 4 or Pokemon Legends Z-A there.
Regardless of what’s shown off, this is a very exciting day for Nintendo fans. By this time next year, we’ll be fully aware of what the follow-up to the Nintendo Switch is, and might even be playing on it.
