MODERATORS
Multiple news sources are reporting. The pcmag article was the first I saw.
Here IGN’s article that details the source better.
https://www.ign.com/articles/with-switch-2-rumours-in-overdrive-nintendo-says-its-still-working-on-switch-games-for-2025
Both IGN and PCMag are citing the same translation coming from VGC. Reading the original article, it reads a bit different to me than what they are saying.
That could mean that they are wrapping up development on the last Switch games in Spring of 2024 or it could mean that they will keep working on Switch games beyond April of 2025. It just means that the switch is not dead.
That implies that they know someone at a video game studio who says that Nintendo has made a Switch successor dev kit for third parties to prototype game engines on and that Nintendo thinks that they may launch a new console for Christmas 2024 (but it may slip later).
So, more rumors and speculation with no new announcements either way from Nintendo.
