Video gamers eagerly awaiting a successor to Nintendo's hit Switch system finally got a clue on when to expect a new device.
Gamers who have been waiting for years for Nintendo to release a successor to its popular Switch console finally got a clue on when to expect an upgraded device. Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa said Tuesday in a post on X that the Japanese technology giant will announce the new switch within its current fiscal year, which ends in March 2025. Nintendo offered no additional details, including a launch date for the Switch 2, as the console is called.
Nintendo's first ever handheld gaming system — the Game Boy — was released in 1989, but the company didn't release another handheld system until 2004, when the DS reached U.S. stores. Another 13 years went by before Nintendo introduced the Switch. In major cities across the U.S., customers camped outside in long lines the day before Switch consoles went on sale in 2017. In 2019, Nintendo introduced the Switch Lite, a less pricey version of the gaming system.
