Nintendo has suggested that its next-generation console will be a evolution of the Nintendo Switch.

On May 7, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa shared a message to social media to coincide with the company's recent financial results, and confirmed that the company will "make an announcement about the successor to Nintendo Switch within the fiscal year" - which should come before April 2025.
