If you've been following the news over the past few weeks, maybe you already know this. Otherwise, here's a quick reminder: the next Nintendo console will be presented before April 1, 2025. It's not a rumor, it's completely official, since Nintendo announced it recently. Therefore, we could say that from April 2025, the Nintendo Switch will inevitably be abandoned. Nothing is less sure.
The Switch supported even after the release of the Switch 2
Today's rumor comes directly to us from PH Brazilwho was the first to claim that the next console of Nintendo, nicknamed her Switch2was not going to be released in 2024 but in 2025. Through a video Youtube, this famous PH Brasil hears only two remasters – or portageswere in preparation for the Nintendo Switch current, with a release planned after March 2025, i.e. after the announcement of the next console.
For this reason, the Switch would therefore not be abandoned ; although this may seem surprising at first, we must not forget that by then, the console will probably have reached or come close to 150 million copies sold. To draw a line under such a large installed base in one go would be a very unpleasant way on the part of Nintendo to thank its fan base, who may not have yet been able to upgrade to the new console. If other rumors are to be believed, the “Switch 2” could be backwards compatible and the remasters in question would therefore be completely playable on this new console. Finally, everyone could be happy.
A 3DS game and a GameCube game on the program?
The two titles in question would be a game originally published on GameCube, the other on Nintendo 3DS. They will apparently not be announced during the Nintendo Direct from June 2024; rather logical thing, big-N for some time now avoiding showing games that are not ready to be released within 6 months of the announcement.
If nothing has leaked about the names of the games, certain names are starting to appear in the mouths of fans; some people would like to see an adaptation Nintendo Switch of The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds (3DS)others think of Kid Icarus Uprising (3DS) or, of course, F-Zero GX (GameCube) Or The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (originally released on GameCube, but remastered on Wii U). Besides, does The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D can be considered a game 3DS ? See you probably in the second part of 2024 to find out more.
