Official announcement about Nintendo switch 2 It became one of the great unknowns of 2024, which we just launched. On the one hand we have the secrecy that Nintendo usually goes with when it comes to their future products, be it consoles or video games, on the other hand there is the good moment that the current console is having thanks to the success The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdoma title that would be considered a 2023 GOTY if not for its appearance Baldur’s Gate 3.

The good moment the original Switch is going through suggests that its successor will be launched in the second half of 2024., if it eventually appears in the current year. Due to the lack of information and confirmation from the manufacturer, the clues ultimately come from third-party developers who may have already received the dev kit or shown interest in developing for the future console.

The words of the director of Resident Evil 3 recently appeared in 4gamer that new consoles and new games will appear in 2024, without being specific with any specific product. Obviously, Nintendo isn’t the only one planning to launch a new console, as the PlayStation 5 Pro is also on the horizon as a way to reboot a generation that has been hit by scarcity supplies and technical limitations not to be completely overcome.

Fumihiko Yasuda, the director of the Nioh series and an employee of Toei Tecmo, is another Japanese developer who has shown his enthusiasm for future consoles, but this does not necessarily mean that the two Nioh parts will come to the Nintendo Switch 2 or that Koei Tecmo has projects for it. However, Kenichi Ogasaware, also of Koei Tecmo, explicitly mentioned a future Big N product, while Spike Chunsoft’s Yusuke Katakata also made similar comments.

At this point, March remains the month in which the Nintendo Switch 2 will be officially announced. Seeing the great success achieved by the current console, everything indicates that the company will keep the same profile, but increase the performance and including features such as DLSS, which aims to be an added value of great value in a device of this type. Given the circumstances, not offering backwards compatibility would be quite disappointing.
