If you were expecting to know more about Nintendo’s next console, called ‘Switch 2“, during the company’s latest financial report today, I’m sorry to have to disappoint you. The company has not made any new announcements regarding its Switch successor.

However, he still plans to share more about his next console before the end of this financial year. All this remains the same.

Following the company’s publication latest earnings reportNintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa has claimed that the next console will be announced by the end of March 2025.

However, it seems unlikely that this announcement will take place before the end of the calendar year. According to Hideki Yasuda, an analyst at Toyo Securities, making an announcement on a new console before January “has become quite difficult” for Nintendo, he said. Reuters. “You wouldn’t want to divert attention to an upcoming console in the middle of the critical holiday shopping season,” Yasuda explained.

We have official confirmation of the existence of Switch 2 in Maywhen Furukawa first said the company planned to share more about the next console “this fiscal year.” At that time, Furukawa tempered expectations, adding that we wouldn’t hear any more about the Switch’s successor during its then-planned summer Nintendo Direct.

But even though we don’t have an official preview of the console, we do know that developers are now openly working on games for it. Meanwhile, several recent announcements have suggested games will be coming to Nintendo’s future hardware, including Yooka-Replaylee And My time at Evershine.

It was once said that Nintendo wanted launch the Switch 2 at the end of 2024. Plans have obviously changed, and a report released in August suggested Nintendo’s next console won’t launch until April 2025.

Elsewhere in last night’s financial report, Nintendo has lowered its expectations for total sales of Switch consoles and games.
