According to Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa, an announcement for the Nintendo Switch\u2019s successor will be shared \u201cwithin this fiscal year,\u201d meaning we should hear about it before March 31, 2025, at the latest\u2014which is when Nintendo's current fiscal year ends.\u00a0 This doesn't mean the Switch is on the outs just yet. Furukawa also confirmed that Nintendo\u2019s next Direct presentation in June will focus entirely on the current generation console and its lineup of games dropping through the end of 2024\u2014and likely into 2025. No news about the \u201cSwitch successor\u201d will be shared at that specific Direct, meaning it could be the final time we get a showcase solely focused on the current Switch and its upcoming titles. In that same earnings report, Nintendo revealed that the Switch hit 141.32 million total hardware units shipped to date, putting it roughly 13 million units behind the Nintendo DS and 17 million units away from the PlayStation 2\u2019s record as the top-selling videogame system of all-time.\u00a0 As Furukawa said, it's approaching nine years since the Switch was announced as being in development in March 2015. So, considering the original Nintendo Switch reveal trailer dropped in October 2016 before a bigger blowout in January 2017 revealed some of the games coming to the system after its upcoming March 2017 launch, we could see a similar timeframe for the console\u2019s successor.\u00a0 Whenever we do see the new Nintendo console for the first time, we should also get a confirmation on the system\u2019s technical specifications, such as how powerful it is, what the screen will look like, if it will continue being a hybrid system, and if it will be backward compatible with the original Switch.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Nintendo-Switch-console.jpeg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1221038"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1221038"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1221038\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1221064,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1221038\/revisions\/1221064"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1221040"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1221038"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1221038"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1221038"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1221038"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1221038"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1221038"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1221038"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

According to Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa, an announcement for the Nintendo Switch\u2019s successor will be shared \u201cwithin this fiscal year,\u201d meaning we should hear about it before March 31, 2025, at the latest\u2014which is when Nintendo's current fiscal year ends.\u00a0 This doesn't mean the Switch is on the outs just yet. Furukawa also confirmed that Nintendo\u2019s next Direct presentation in June will focus entirely on the current generation console and its lineup of games dropping through the end of 2024\u2014and likely into 2025. No news about the \u201cSwitch successor\u201d will be shared at that specific Direct, meaning it could be the final time we get a showcase solely focused on the current Switch and its upcoming titles. In that same earnings report, Nintendo revealed that the Switch hit 141.32 million total hardware units shipped to date, putting it roughly 13 million units behind the Nintendo DS and 17 million units away from the PlayStation 2\u2019s record as the top-selling videogame system of all-time.\u00a0 As Furukawa said, it's approaching nine years since the Switch was announced as being in development in March 2015. So, considering the original Nintendo Switch reveal trailer dropped in October 2016 before a bigger blowout in January 2017 revealed some of the games coming to the system after its upcoming March 2017 launch, we could see a similar timeframe for the console\u2019s successor.\u00a0 Whenever we do see the new Nintendo console for the first time, we should also get a confirmation on the system\u2019s technical specifications, such as how powerful it is, what the screen will look like, if it will continue being a hybrid system, and if it will be backward compatible with the original Switch.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Nintendo-Switch-console.jpeg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1221038"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1221038"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1221038\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1221064,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1221038\/revisions\/1221064"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1221040"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1221038"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1221038"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1221038"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1221038"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1221038"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1221038"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1221038"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

This doesn’t mean the Switch is on the outs just yet. Furukawa also confirmed that Nintendo\u2019s next Direct presentation in June will focus entirely on the current generation console and its lineup of games dropping through the end of 2024\u2014and likely into 2025. No news about the \u201cSwitch successor\u201d will be shared at that specific Direct, meaning it could be the final time we get a showcase solely focused on the current Switch and its upcoming titles.<\/p>
