Nintendo Confirms News about Switch’s Successor
Nintendo has confirmed that news about the Switch’s successor is finally on the way, though the exact timeframe is vague—and the Switch itself is far from dead.
An Announcement Within the Fiscal Year
During Nintendo’s May 7 earnings report, the company finally revealed some details about its next console. According to Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa, an announcement for the Nintendo Switch’s successor will be made “within this fiscal year,” which means we should hear about it by March 31, 2025, at the latest—when Japan’s current fiscal year ends.
Switch Continues to Thrive
This does not mean the Switch is on the outs just yet, however, as Furukawa also confirmed that Nintendo’s next Direct presentation in June will focus entirely on the current generation console and its lineup of games dropping through the end of 2024—and likely into 2025. No news about the “Switch successor” will be shared at that specific Direct, meaning it could be the final time we get a showcase solely focused on the current Switch.
