"This is Furukawa, President of Nintendo. We will announce the successor to the Nintendo Switch this fiscal year. It has been more than nine years since we announced the existence of the Nintendo Switch in March 2015," Furukawa wrote in a post on X.

Not only that, Furukawa also confirmed that she would hold a Nintendo Direct in June. However, he said they would focus on the new Switch games for the second half of 2024.

"We will hold a Nintendo Direct in June regarding the Nintendo Switch software lineup for the second half of 2024, but please note that there will be no mention of Nintendo Switch successors during that presentation," he added.

This announcement suggests that fans may soon find out about Nintendo's latest console often dubbed Switch 2. Some media predict this console will at least be exhibited in July.
