Nintendo admits they're focusing on Switch successor, but new Switch titles are coming

With Nintendo officially announcing that they’ll pull back the curtain on the Switch’s successor this fiscal year, we can officially consider the Switch as riding off into the sunset. That said, there’s still some life left in the system, and Nintendo will be providing some of that support.

During Nintendo’s investor Q&A following their fiscal results, one investor noted that the Switch software lineup for this year seems rather light. They asked if this was due to focusing on development for the Switch successor, to which Nintendo president Shuntaro Furkawa responded with the following:

“Since it takes years to develop a new successor, it is true development resources are being considered for it at the moment. However we’re still developing new software for the Switch so please look forward to the June Direct.”

So, while Nintendo is up front about working on games for the Switch’s successor, they’re not quite done with Switch yet. We’ll have to hold out until June to see what new Nintendo titles will be the platform’s last hurrah, and let’s hope they’re big ones!
