The Nintendo Switch 2 – or whatever it’s called – may not be coming as soon as many hope. At least that’s what Nintendo of America CEO Doug Bowser suggests.
In an interview with Associated PressBowser says that even if a new version of the console will eventually be released, the company still sees a future for the original Nintendo Switch.
“As Mr. Furukawa (Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa) said recently, we’re entering uncharted territory with the platform,” Bowser said. “It’s exciting to see that demand is still there. So nothing to say about future consoles or devices, but we still feel very good about Nintendo Regarding the Switch.“
Bowser went on to say that the belief in the Switch staying strong is because it’s a “truly unique device.” He says the console’s offering of ways to play makes it something that can “perform strongly over the next few years.”
To aid the expected strong performance of this console, there are several upcoming major console releases. 2023 alone will see the release of Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Pikmin 4, Minecraft Legends and more. Other games in development include Metroid Prime 4 and the new Detective Pikachu game.
With these titles, Nintendo expects more hardware to be ported through 2023 and beyond.
