The announcement comes after Nintendo presented the financial results for the fourth fiscal quarter and the full year of the Nintendo Switch.
We have been waiting for the successor to the Nintendo Switch since 2020, the year the new generation of PlayStation and Xbox arrived. Since then, the Nintendo Switch made it clear that in terms of hardware it couldn’t go any further and that a new version would give developers much more room to create great and ambitious games.
But if there is one thing that characterizes the Japanese company, it is going at its own pace. Nintendo is the company that doesn’t do things because of trends or impositions, they only move when they see it necessary. That’s why they launched their online subscription a whopping 10 years later than their rivals.
For that reason, the announcement they made today through Twitter has not surprised us at all, but rather it was something we expected. Nevertheless, we are talking about the most important news from Nintendo in almost a decade.
The Nintendo Switch 2 will be announced in the current fiscal year
Nintendo has stated on Tuesday that it will announce the successor to its flagship, the Nintendo Switch, during this fiscal year 2024/2025, after the company forecasted a sharp drop in profits due to lower sales of its aging console.
This means that the new Switch will be announced in the fiscal year ending in March 2025, according to a post on Twitter from the company quoting Nintendo’s president, Shuntaro Furukawa. The company added that there would be no details about the new console in the upcoming June Nintendo Direct event.
The comments come after Nintendo presented the financial results for the fourth fiscal quarter and the full year ending in March 2024. These have also generated a few headlines that we will now discuss in another article, talking about it in depth.
As a summary of everything mentioned, the important thing is that we understand that there will be no announcement of Nintendo Switch 2 until -at the latest- March 2025 and that doesn’t mean it will be released within a year, they have only said that it will be presented. The wait is starting to become… desperate.
