Nintendo’s president, Shuntaro Furukawa, has just confirmed that a Nintendo Direct showcase is booked to take place in June of this year. It’ll feature a lineup of games coming to the Nintendo Switch for the ‘second half of 2024’, but it won’t be a platform to reveal the Switch successor, it was confirmed.

This is Furukawa, the president of Nintendo. We will be announcing the successor to the Switch during this fiscal year for the first time in nine years since we announced the existence of the Nintendo Switch in March 2015. We will also be holding a Nintendo Direct in June to announce the Switch software lineup for the second half of 2024, but this will not include the successor model. Please do not misunderstand.
There are still several months left until we learn about the Switch successor, which is plenty of time for the rumours to continue spreading like wildfire. Until then, Nintendo fans worldwide will need to satisfy themselves with the knowledge that a Nintendo Direct event is scheduled for June – next month.
