When Nintendo officially reveals the Nintendo Switch 2, or whatever its called, later this fiscal year, it’s not going to be an entirely new type of system. In fact, it’s going to be pretty similar, in some ways at least, to the current Nintendo Switch.
During Nintendo’s annual investors meeting on Tuesday, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa was asked about the new console. Specifically, he was asked if it was an brand new system or something akin to the original Nintendo Switch.
“Switch next model is the appropriate way to describe it,” Furukawa said.
As far as that next Switch model, more and more details have continued to come out about the system. It’s been reported that it will be built primarily with Samsung components, the Joy-Con controllers will connect differently, and that it will be backwards compatible with current Switch games.
It’s also expected to be another hybrid console that can support up to 4K resolution when docked.
As always, none of the reports one the console have been announced by Nintendo or independently verified by Insider Gaming. For now, take them with a grain of salt.
What do you think about the new Nintendo Switch 2 being said to be more of a build on top of the original as opposed to an entirely new platform?
