Nintendo officially confirms Switch successor console, announces Nintendo Direct for next month

nitennzomg.png

While rumors had been floating about rampantly as to the future plans of Nintendo, the President of the company, Shuntaro Furukawa, made a brief statement confirming that Nintendo is indeed working on a successor to the Nintendo Switch. Capping off Nintendo's quarterly financial report was an announcement that the unveiling of Nintendo's follow-up to the Switch would happen before the end of this fiscal year (March 2025). In the same message, Furukawa also announced that a Nintendo Direct is on the way sometime in June--though it will focus solely on latter-half 2024 Nintendo Switch titles, and will not feature any information regarding the successor system.

Current rumor reports state that a "Nintendo Switch 2" system was scheduled to be released around holiday 2024, though the hardware was delayed internally, to make sure that the upcoming system had as many quality launch titles as possible. Bloomberg has reported that Nintendo has been supplied with a notable amount of 8-inch Foxconn LCD screens, implying that the new Nintendo hardware may be very similar to the Nintendo Switch.

Nintendo.... I grew up playing many of your systems. Could you please NOT make your next system a generic looking Android tablet with shit sticks attached to it please?
TBF, all of those generic tablets stole their style from the Switch.

I already explained in a previous comment.
except that your explanation makes no sense.
anyone can comment whatever they want its a gaming forum. gaming companies do shit things and good things, i hold them acountable and speak up..
So if you care to explain your point now since it made no sense before it would be wonderfull.

Look, little fella, just because YOU don't understand a simple concept does not mean it makes no sense. Anyway, this is bothering you way too much. I've already explained myself & I owe you nothing more. Go get some fresh air, cope with my opinion, and move on. M'kay? Thanks. Buh-bye now.

be nice you two.

gbatemp is for all consoles, but gets a huge influx of people when it comes to homebrew and exploits. the switch, 3ds, and the wii/u scene were/are more active than the playstation and xbox scenes because there were more developments and quicker developments in the homebrew scene. the ps3 was at the top for a bit there when there were major breakthroughs, as was xbox 360 jtagging, just to illustrate how things can change. come to think of it, i wonder how active ps3 development still is...

so, in that way, folks tend to talk more Nintendo than anything else. but it's certainly not limited to nintendo stuff. we even have the toxic cesspools of edge-of-forum and political stuff. I'd avoid those, though.

Finally...Mario Kart 9 😏
I think, a new Mario kart isn't necessary. I mean, every mario kart had a gimmick/a new "innovation". Double dash with two drivers, mkwii with bikes, mk7....you know the rest. I would wish a Mario kart game like super mario maker. Custom tracks which can be played with others online. And with different play styles.

And this one's gimmick will be : Kirby, Samus, Link, Starfox, heck even Pikachu driving through tracks across tracks that take place in different games


I mean, who cares about fking Cheese Land ? Just get SR388 that'll be more exciting. Who cares about Sweet Sweet Canyon ? Does it expand Mario's universe ? Just get some level from Kirby or something it's more fun

Just to clarify, I never once said it was limited to Nintendo stuff. I said it was predominately Nintendo related. The numbers indicate as such. :)

it is for now anyway. i do think it's less of a "this forum" thing and more of a "this is where all the developments are happening". can easily change if anything big happens in the xbox or sony areas. though sony and microsoft just make pcs now, and only nintendo is left making unique stuff, so i don't see it shifting too much.

fingers crossed for a Microsoft or sony handheld. that'd spark some fun.

My Switch from 2017 is so worn out.
Dude, I still have my fucking gameboy sp advance from, like, 2006. Still works perfectly after changing the battery. Imagine complaing about a console that's only 7 years old. they don't make them like they used to.

Oh my paper clip is so under powered. Has never been upgraded since 1893.

Have you ordered the new iPad Pro with M4? People may be laughing soon if you don't

I am still using that 1893 design for paper clip and am still happy with Switch. They are fine as they are. Undecided if I will get the M4 iPad, perhaps I don't need it and you can laugh at me if you do get it.

I love how Nintendo seems to be on track for another poorly timed release date. Apparently they can't comprehend the importance of releasing before December. :rolleyes:

If the new Switch is enticing enough, it should sell nicely. It just won't sell as nicely as it could have if released earlier.

It should sell even better if they put tandem OLED on it.
