This is Furukawa, President of Nintendo. We will make an announcement about the successor to Nintendo Switch within this fiscal year. It will have been over nine years since we announced the existence of Nintendo Switch back in March 2015. We will be holding a Nintendo Direct this June regarding the Nintendo Switch software lineup for the latter half of 2024, but please be aware that there will be no mention of the Nintendo Switch successor during that presentation.

    Star Fox tends to launch at the end of a console’s life… so there’s that maybe.

    Sakurai has been up to something… probably the next Smash, but I can always dream it’s a new or even remade Kid Icarus.

    And probably some last minute WiiU ports.

    Metroid Prime 4 is probably too high profile to leave to the switch… (and Mario hasn’t had a launch title since the N64, maybe GCN at a stretch) but they could always pull a Twilight Princess I suppose.

      Assuming BC is confirmed on the new platform I would be willing to buy a Wind Waker / Twilight Princess double pack.

      Really hoping one of those is Xenoblade X. The end of 3 made it look like they’re merging all the Xeno games, and X is the only one from Blade that’s not on the Switch.

      Great point about Sakurai. He’s doing regular youtube videos, but there’s a good chance he has some smaller pet project. Something like Kid Icarus that he’s wantes to work on but was too busy with Smash.
