Addressing the question, Shuntaro Furukawa, the president of Nintendo, elaborated on the topic. He noted, “We’ve already announced Pokémon Legends: Z-A and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, which are slated to arrive on the Nintendo Switch in 2025. Given the popularity of the current Switch, we’re keen on continuing to develop and roll out captivating games for it.” Furukawa stressed that exclusive titles will play a significant role when introducing new hardware. He added, “Our focus will be on devising strategies for both the Nintendo Switch and its upcoming successor, aiming to attract a broad audience to experience our games.”
