Nintendo says it isn’t planning on announcing a new Switch model anytime soon
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Rumors of an upgraded Switch model continue to persist, but a reveal doesn’t appear to be on the horizon. During a financial call for Nintendo’s latest financial results today, president Shuntaro Furukawa said the company isn’t planning on making an announcement anytime soon. Furukawa pointed to the upcoming Mario edition Switch and Monster Hunter bundle as something Nintendo is currently focusing on.
An announcement may not be imminent, but the door isn’t necessarily closed on 2021 entirely. Bloomberg reporter Takashi Mochizuki pointed out how Furukawa said last year that Nintendo wasn’t planning on a releasing a new model in 2020 whereas today’s statement simply said “anytime soon.”
