What just happened? We’ve been hearing rumors about a Nintendo Switch successor for years, but the Japanese gaming giant has kept quiet when it comes to official details. Now, however, the company has confirmed that the Switch 2, or whatever it might be called, will be announced this fiscal year, which ends on March 31, 2025.
Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa made the announcement on the company’s official X/Twitter account earlier today. The post notes that it will have been over nine years since the original Switch was announced back in March 2015, and there will be the usual Nintendo Direct event held this June.
Furukawa adds that Nintendo Direct will focus on the Switch software lineup coming out in the second half of 2024, emphasizing that there will be no mention of the Switch successor during the presentation, sadly.
