Nintendo president on reports of a new Switch model
There have been fairly regular reports claiming that Nintendo has a new Switch model in the works, but at least thus far, nothing has materialized. The latest rumor came from Bloomberg, with the outlet claiming at the end of May that a reveal could have taken place right before E3 2021. Of course, that didn’t happen in the end.
The topic of a new Switch model did come up during Nintendo’s Annual General Meeting of Shareholders last week. President Shuntaro Furukawa was asked about these reports, to which he stated:
“We use Nintendo Direct to communicate information about individual products to our consumers at the appropriate times. Going forward, Nintendo will continue to focus on offering our unique and original brand of play, leveraging the integrated hardware-software dedicated video game platform to provide fun and grow our business. To this end, we are constantly working on development of hardware, software, and accessories, but I cannot comment on specific products that are under development.”
