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.
"NACON and Big Ant Studios are today very proud and pleased to announce that "TIEBREAK: Official game of the ATP and WTA" will be released on 22 August 2024 for PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC (Steam). The Nintendo Switch™ version will be launched at a later date." - NACON and Big Ant Studios.
The Persona / Shin Megami Tensei cosplay gathering allowed fans of the acclaimed JRPG series to meet up during FanimeCon 2024.
HYPERCHARGE Unboxed blasts its way to Xbox, as an all-action hero adventure awaits; one that has been inspired by Toy Story no less.
Lol, how did you get Toy Story out of it? The devs even said themselves that the biggest inspiration was the film Small Soldiers.
"The core inspiration for Hypercharge is the 1998 movie Small Soldiers – a fantastic film that really resonated with us in terms of its story, characters, and visuals. While Small Soldiers introduced Major Chip Hazard, Hypercharge features Major Evil! We also draw inspiration from Toy Story, which influenced the vibrant levels in our game.
Other inspirations include video games like Sarge’s Heroes, Toy Commander, and even the Counter-Strike 1.6 Rat maps. The game follows a classic good vs. evil storyline, (90’s inspired!) where Sgt. Max Ammo battles against Major Evil to protect the Hypercore, which holds the precious memories of our beloved toys!"
Toy Story wasn't mentioned.

I really don't get how you take the aesthetics of toys, which can be anything and do anything, and instead just make an fps. As a kid I would pretend to do all sorts of whacky things with my toys, my imagination was limitless, but devs can only think of making a shooter.
I'm excited for a switch 2 however I don't feel it will be coming this year as per the tweet in they are commuting to a reveal in this Japanese financial year in 2025.
Realistically we will get one last holiday season to focus on the switch because it would be madness for Nintendo to go into the holidays where the switch always performs well when they have announced a switch 2.
I'm thinking we see a announcement late Jan 25 personally with a release between March and June depending on when the software is ready and how strong the holday sales were if they need to boost those figures for the next earnings call or not
I'd say it'll be released before March 2025 tbh.
About time. I can't wait!
Holiday announcement with summer launch
It should be an interesting year; Sony, Nintendo, and MS all have new Hardware to show.
