While the announcement of the Switch 2 is still a way off, Furukawa previously said the rumored console would not be released until the next fiscal year, which begins April 1, 2025. This timeline suggests careful planning to ensure optimal market conditions and production capabilities.

There's good news if you've got a huge Switch library, as the Nintendo Switch 2 will officially be backwards compatible with old games.

Players will be able to carry over game purchases, memberships and other related services.
