Key Points:
- Long-awaited confirmation: Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa has finally presented the words long-awaited by all Switch users, namely the official announcement of Nintendo Switch 2 this fiscal year.
- Timing Clarity: The announcement will take place any time between March 23, 2023, and March 31, 2025, which clearly states the uncertain time frame for fans.
- Delayed anticipation: In a departure from the norm, this presentation will not be launched in conjunction with the June 2024 Nintendo Direct, which aims to highlight the upcoming PlayStation 4.0, the software update of the so-called Switch.
Nintendo fans, rejoice! The Nintendo Switch is the anticipated next version of the popular console. It is being highly anticipated and people want to know more about it. Now it’s time to lift the curtain of uncertainty surrounding the next version of the Nintendo Switch.
Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa noted on Twitter that the new console models will not be distributed after this fiscal year, thus relieving dedicated players from the restlessness of speculation and giving them full and lively anticipation.
But, the great mystery will end prematurely for Nintendo Switch dreamers and devotees, whose dazzling revelation will not occur in the Nintendo Direct announced for June 2024. On the contrary, the major aspect of this conference will be software improvements for the current Switch console, and they are planned to be included in the Switch console by the end of the second half of 2024. But because of this, the Switch 2 unveiling is still postponed and has become an optimistic destination for prudent fans waiting for its reveal.
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…
