Nintendo is preparing to take a big step in the gaming world. The Japanese gaming giant gave the good news of its long-awaited next-generation console, already referred to as ‘Nintendo Switch 2‘.
We recently shared the details of the escalating war between Nintendo and Yuzu Emulator. The announcement of the new device on this news has excited the technology world.
When will this new console appear, and what will it offer us? Here are all the details…
Nintendo Switch 2 release date
Nintendo shared its fiscal year 2023 report and revealed the information that game lovers eagerly await. The report states that the next-generation Nintendo Switch console will be introduced and released in March 2025. Although the company has not officially announced the new console’s name, all eyes are on this big launch.
Nintendo’s plans and expectations
According to Nintendo’s president Furukawa, the company continues to work on the new console at full speed. Nintendo has made many innovations since launching the first Nintendo Switch in 2017. Furukawa says more information about the new console will be announced later this year. However, Nintendo’s Nintendo Direct presentation in June will not mention the new console and will focus on the Switch software lineup.
社長の古川です。2015年3月にNintendo Switchの存在を公表して以来9年ぶりにSwitchの後継機種に関するアナウンスを今期中に行います。また、2024年後半のSwitchソフトラインナップをお知らせするNintendo Directを6月に実施しますが、そこでは後継機種を扱いません。誤解のないようお願いいたします。
