As various rumors assured, Nintendo will reveal its new console sometime this fiscal year. What does this mean? The hardware will be unveiled before March 31, 2025. Also, we know that it is unlikely to be announced this month or in June.

We tell you this as Nintendo confirmed that it will hold a Direct next month; however, it clarified that there will be no announcements related to the Switch's successor. The event will focus on releases coming to its current console during the second half of 2024.

“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”, the executive explained.

For now, there is no exact date for the reveal of the new console. Nintendo is expected to hold a special event for its presentation, just as it happened with Switch. The hybrid system had a show where its features, its first games, as well as its price and release date were unveiled.
