May 07, 2024 8:32 AM

Exciting news for Nintendo enthusiasts as the gaming giant hints at an upcoming announcement regarding the successor to the popular Nintendo Switch console. Nintendo is known for staying tight-lipped about their developments, but they've confirmed plans to reveal details about the new console during a Nintendo Direct event scheduled for June. This much-anticipated update will offer fans insights into what to expect from the company in the latter half of the year. As of now, it seems that we may have to wait until March 2025 for concrete information, potentially marking a decade since the original Switch was first mentioned.

When will Nintendo provide details about the Switch's successor?

Nintendo has indicated that they will make an announcement about the successor to the Nintendo Switch within the current fiscal year, which could be by March 2025, with more details coming in a Nintendo Direct event in June.

The Nintendo Switch, which was first released in March 2017, is a hybrid console offering both stationary and portable gaming experiences. It's unique in its design, allowing players to detach the Joy-Con controllers and use them independently, create a shared multiplayer experience with the console's portable screen, or play on a larger TV screen when docked. The Switch has been highly successful, with a strong lineup of exclusive games like "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild," "Super Mario Odyssey," and "Animal Crossing: New Horizons." Its sales have propelled Nintendo back to the forefront of the gaming industry, and the announcement of its successor has been eagerly awaited by fans and industry watchers alike.
