This is Furukawa, President of Nintendo. We will make an announcement about the successor to Nintendo Switch within this fiscal year. It will have been over nine years since we announced the existence of Nintendo Switch back in March 2015. We will be holding a Nintendo Direct this June regarding the Nintendo Switch software lineup for the latter half of 2024, but please be aware that there will be no mention of the Nintendo Switch successor during that presentation.

So what are we expecting to see in June?

This seems like the last chance to announce a Switch release for Metroid Prime 4. If we don't see it, I'll assume it was pushed to the next console.

I thought the rumors of a remake for Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War sounded likely. FE 4 and 5 have both never been remade and never officially been made available in English, but 4 is popular in Japan and Sigurd had a relatively prominent role in Engage compared to most of the other Emblems. However, we haven't heard anything about it, so if we don't hear about it in June I'll assume they aren't doing it.

Maybe TOTK DLC? It’s more than 1 year since it launched

It sounded pretty definite in interviews that they aren't planning DLC for this one, but we can still hope :)
