This is Furukawa, President of Nintendo. 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. We will be holding a Nintendo Direct this June regarding the Nintendo Switch software lineup for the latter half of 2024, but please be aware that there will be no mention of the Nintendo Switch successor during that presentation.

I am more surprised about June Direct, that will focus on games for current Switch.

It makes sense to have a final press conference about the final games for the Switch. They want customers and partners to know about major games still planned for the system,. especially if it is still going to be "current gen" during the holidays. It could be a going away party for one of the most successful video game systems.

It is possible (and even likely) that the Switch 2 will not be announced yet. I suspect that if they planned to announce the system this month, they would have said as much. This feels more like "we plan to announce in 6 months but don't want to say as much in case plans slip".

I wouldn't be surprised if all the games are either to far along(/not popular enough) to bother building for the new switch. Or they will get simultaneous release on both switch and switch 2 (like breath of the wild).

Nintendo consoles seem to be normally released during summer, so we have another year of the switch ahead. Hopefully that includes atleast some new games

I kinda assumed that too. I mean there was a chance that it would focus on Switch 2, but idk I just felt like it would be revealed later
