      I like how everyone is asleep for this one. Classic moment. Anyways probably an October reveal for a March release again. Why change what worked so well last time. Hopefully the Direct in June sends the Switch off with a bang. They haven’t announced a Direct this far in advance in some time. Not since E3 was a thing.

      Is this the first time Nintendo has officially acknowledged they’re working on a successor of the Switch?
      Will probably be announced during Q3 then?

      There we go, *acknowledgement*. Seems however we won’t actually hear about the thing until fall or maybe even next year.

      I love that OP completely disregarded the biggest announcement in that tweet!

      They plan to announce the next console before the end of this fiscal year!

      Okay I’m calling it now. It’s going to drop alongside Pokemon ZA and Metroid Prime 4 with both being cross-gen games.

      I appreciate knowing in advance. So much better than being left in the dark.

      Soon soon™ will be soon©

      Just to be clear, this isn’t a silk song definition of a year right?

      Finally!!! Both announcements are exciting and pretty sure Nintendo will repeat what they did with the switch: 1- October reveal 2- January presentation 3- release on March/April 2025.

      Full tweet:

      > This is Furukawa, President of Nintendo.
      **We will make an announcement about the successor to Nintendo Switch within this fiscal year.** It will have been over nine years since we announced the existence of Nintendo Switch back in March 2015. We will be holding a Nintendo Direct this June regarding the Nintendo Switch software lineup for the latter half of 2024, but please be aware that there will be no mention of the Nintendo Switch successor during that presentation.

      I’m very curious what their game lineup will be like in the 2nd half of this year. Hopefully it’s not too barren, although historically it has been a wasteland for Nintendo machines’ final moments.

      So do you y’all think they’re going to announce the Switch 2 at the June direct?!?!

      /s

      I’m gonna be in Japan in mid April 2025, i would love to see if they’re going to do a special event there for this occasion

    17. maemikemae on

      Well hopefully they have a few decent non-port surprises for this year for the Switch then. Although I’d be pretty happy with finally getting Prime 2/3 remakes and Windwaker/TP ports everyone has been clamoring for, hopefully they’ve got a big Fall game again at least to cap off the Switch’s lifetime.

      **Edit** 

      Nintendo Japan’s Fiscal year, so…  

      Before end of March 2025?

    20. wicktus on

      Given that the switch, which released in March 2017 was really presented in October with a big January direct, I expect something slightly similar …albeit this time the wiiU is not the current home console so there’s less rush  

      We’ll hear more about it in September/October I bet, quite curious about the June direct now What will be the ambition here:

       wind waker hd or metroid prime 4 I have no idea but can’t wait

    21. ChickenFajita007 on

      Thanks goodness for this tweet. We can now put to bed any meaningless speculation about Switch 2 announcement until well after June.

    22. UmaBatataFrita on

      I swear I clicked here thinking it was bait, after so many rumors I can’t believe that we finally have a real and official statement, it’s crazy to think.

      I’m pretty excited about the Switch’s successor, I just hope Nintendo improves on some things. (I know a lot of people talk about “having better hardware” but I would really like to see an improvement in the online service in general too, that’s something I really think Nintendo could learn from the competition)

    23. Beowolf_0 on

      At last some time to grab on.

      Can we at least know its specs ASAP, please?

    25. Mushroomman642 on

      Wow, it’s been so long without any kind of official word on the Switch 2 that it feels surreal to see Furukawa actually acknowledging its existence, even if it is just to say that they won’t be talking about it in the next Direct.

      Also they confirmed a Direct one whole month in advance! I’m not sure if that’s ever happened before, but it’s not often that we have direct confirmation of this kind of thing so early.

    26. Horror_Letterhead407 on

      But… But… This board said there will be no Switch successor.

      Remember: I’ll believe it when I see it 🤓☝️

    27. bitzkilla on

      Can’t wait for the angry posts after the Direct anyways about how there was no announcement of the next console

    28. Xlash2 on

      What the hell is this? I had to triple check it is the real Nintendo twitter account or not. This is too casual. “This is Furukawa” lmao.
