THE NEXT LEVEL AWAITS: UNVEILING NINTENDO'S UPCOMING MARVEL

Nintendo is entering a new era. The huge Japanese games company has been talking up a potential shift in the future of play. No surprise that Nintendo describes the next big thing in gaming as ‘interactive entertainment’. That’s what the company has always been about. Since the launch of its first games console in 1983, Nintendo has seemed intent on taking its players beyond the game and into a world of immersive magic. In this way, the story of what Nintendo is apparently about to do feels at once familiar and wonderfully futuristic. Let’s take a look.

THE SPARK OF INNOVATION: A NEW ERA BEGINS

Just as such a thing may be achieved via shadows, Nintendo recently revealed that something new was coming, describing the incoming ‘successor to the Nintendo Switch’ as promising more details ‘within this fiscal year’, a cryptic message from the Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa.

ANTICIPATION BUILDS: THE COUNTDOWN TO DISCOVERY

It has now been almost 10 years since the original Nintendo Switch launched and completely changed the landscape of what we expect from a console that meant you could play at home or on the go. As the company’s new fiscal year begins, gamers wait with baited breath to see what Nintendo has up its sleeve next.

A GLIMPSE INTO THE FUTURE: THE PROMISE OF JUNE

Although a Nintendo Direct presentation is scheduled for this June, and intended to showcase the second-half Nintendo Switch software lineup for 2024, it is very clear: the console current trade-in lives here. The mystery box awaits.

THE LEGACY CONTINUES: SPECULATING ON THE SUCCESSOR

Rumours and rumblings all paint a hazy picture of what the ‘Nintendo Switch 2’ will look like. Before we go any further, it’s helpful to situate the period we’re dealing with. The original Switch’s release came on Friday, 3 March 2017, so we can follow that calendar for context. The current fiscal year (the time period through which we’re going to count days) is from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025. Reveal day is supposed to occur somewhere around 28 January 2025.

WHAT LIES AHEAD: FEATURES AND FANTASIES

Speculation is that this new console will not only be larger than its predecessor, but will also be backwards compatible with a selection of Nintendo Switch games and accessories – including the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. Those same winds of change point towards a redesign of the Joy-Con controllers, perhaps specifically with a magnetic attachment mechanism that more seamlessly brings together the past with the present in a rolling oboe of gaming evolution.

THE ESSENCE OF NINTENDO

For more than 125 years Nintendo has been a purveyor of play, the connective tissue between digital dreams and terrestrial realities, a gaming giant that has consistently re-conceptualised the art of the possible, giving owners of all ages the chance to plunge into worlds of fantasy, danger and discovery.

The Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) to the Nintendo Switch: the story of a company that hasn’t just made devices, but helped write the history of gaming culture. It’s been that way since day one, creating communities and passion.
