Being a sales success, it&#8217;s logical that Nintendo isn&#8217;t rushing to release its successor. <strong>As long as it continues to perform well, there&#8217;s no sense in thinking about another console<\/strong>. Additionally, the experience with Wii U has made them cautious. They don&#8217;t want to find themselves in a situation where a great success is followed by a major failure. However, what many probably didn&#8217;t expect is that the Switch would extend its life by another year and a half beyond the six and a half years it has already been around.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Nintendo Switch Online\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/0d8aa053-f44a-4256-ab5f-47f15b065e51\/1332576485\/nintendo-switch-online-logo\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Nintendo Switch Online<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/nintendo-switch-online.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/nintendo-switch-online.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nikkei.com\/article\/DGXZQOUF295550Z20C23A8000000\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">As stated by Shuntaro Furukawa, president of Nintendo, to Nikkei<\/a>, a Japanese newspaper that is also the world&#8217;s largest financial newspaper, <strong>Nintendo will continue to focus on Switch until the end of the current fiscal year, which concludes in March 2024<\/strong>. After that, they will continue supporting the console, at least, until the end of the following fiscal year: March 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the more alarmed, this might sound like Nintendo has no intention of releasing a successor to Nintendo Switch until, at least, April 2025. However, nothing could be further from the truth. Similar to how Sony and Microsoft continue releasing games for previous-generation consoles, <strong>what Furukawa means here is that even if they launch the successor to the console, they will continue supporting it with new games<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed-Youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Nintendo Switch - OLED Model - Announcement Trailer\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4mHq6Y7JSmg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This only serves to confirm <a href=\"https:\/\/www.softonic.com\/articulos\/lo-de-nintendo-switch-2-va-totalmente-en-serio-y-parece-que-algunos-desarrolladores-ya-la-han-visto?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">the rumors that a hypothetical Switch 2 would arrive in the second half of 2024<\/a>. <strong>Having showcased a series of demos at the previous Gamescom, albeit only among developers, it appears that Nintendo is already aiming for its next-generation leap<\/strong>.
