Three updates came out last days
- Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa recently said that the company will use the Switch’s current account system for a “smooth transition” to next-gen consoles.
Looks like it is different this time as Nintendo may not scrape the user base and start fresh for its new console as they did in the past. This was also the biggest worry for the market. Of course this doesn’t confirm backward compatibility but user base may have to upgrade to new hardware with time. Switch is releases in 2017 and its almost 7 years old hardware.

- In a related news Activision CEO gave a passing comment saying next generation console from Nintendo will be as fast as PS4
Although Nintendo kept a tight silence regarding their next console, its apparently clear that it coming probably spring 2024. One important point to note is that PS5 and xbox are home consoles while Switch is a hand held device.
here is a bold prediction about Switch 2 but one need to take it with pinch of salt
- I have mentioned in the writeup above regarding the success of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. That continues to top charts of top selling games and quickly became second top selling game of YTD.
Recently “Nintendo direct” showcased upcoming games and gamers seems to love it as it brings a SuperMario RPG to switch. Some even think this year going to be 2017 for switch.
