Nintendo quietly confirms a successor to the Nintendo Switch will be revealed within the year - seven years after the hugely popular original device went on sale

www.dailymail.co.uk, May 8, 2024
According to an X post by Nintendo's president (inset), an official announcement about the 'successor to Nintendo Switch' is coming before April 2025. Fans are dubbing the upcoming device 'Switch 2', although its official name hasn't been revealed. It's also unclear how much it will resemble the original £280/$300 Switch console (pictured), which revolutionized gaming with its 2-in-1 'hybrid' design.

Good news for parents - but not Mario fans! The Nintendo Switch 2 video game console, which it had hoped for, was down 10 percent after it revealed that it would not be available for Christmas

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 20, 2024
On Monday, shares in Nintendo dropped after the video game maker announced that its latest console would not be available until after Christmas. Since it revealed that the Switch 2 console would be delayed from the last quarter of 2024 to early 2025, the Japanese company was down almost 10%. Investors are worried that the delay will result in poor results this year. The seven-year-old Switch's sales have stalled, and the delay means no replacement will be able to meet holiday demand.
