    Theory: Nintendo World Championship game was just leaked by the ESRB.
    I suggest that the game will have a score attack mode used to qualify for an IRL NWC 2024 event in June, following a similar format to 2015 and 2017. Nintendo will announce Switch 2 there, with contestants playing several new games in the final rounds.

    I think the odds are definitely in the favour of something, regardless of how big it is, being at the investors meeting. I think it’s the perfect time to announce its existence at least, since investors are facing a dry year for Nintendo content and will demand reassurance, and giving the next system some kind of announcement or reference will do that, while keeping things lowkey enough that it won’t scare off a great deal of general audiences that still haven’t bought a Switch.

    I think they're giving the OG Switch a victory lap this year. One more year on the spotlight to sell some more units of their best selling home console ever. I originally thought that last year would be this, but they took me by surprise with tins of games and the Switch being taken very seriously by them.
    I guess this would be a good time for a price cut, but they won't do this, of course.

    Lying directly face to face to their investors is different than lying to the public. If the plan is what we think it is, they'll pretty much have to say something along the lines of:
    "The next Nintendo dedicated gaming hardware, codenamed XXX, will be released in March of 2025. We will have more details to come later in the year. Please look forward to it."
    That statement's roughly what I'm expecting next week. No visual, no real system name, but a confirmation that it exists and will be released in Q1 2025.

    Honestly, if Nintendo plays their cards right, they can easily ride out the Switch for at least one more full year. And not only that, it can potentially outsell the DS. And if that happens, it’s basically smooth sailing to the top.

    Nintendo probably wont release the Switch "successor" (not calling it Switch 2, sounds like something only Sony can come up with) until they dethrone the PS2. And theyre closing in.
    Itll be hard to replicate sales reaching over 150 mill, even by Sony. They only reached those figures thanks to the mass produced DVD media it offered at the time and over a 12 year lifespan. In comparison, Nintendo Switch is only at its 7th year, so theres no need to rush.

    April 1st: Switch Successor launches
    In this way the next platform doesn't interfere with the Switch's last holiday season. Additionally, they launch the next platform alongside the start of Japan's fiscal year beginning April 1st, giving the new device the maximum opportunity to show off its sales numbers.

    Nintendo is a confident and creative company, but I hope they are wary of the ESG stuff. Square Enix embraced it by making an Ethics Department office, yet all that has done was translating their own games horribly, more censorship, and them outright making horrible titles. All these so that they can fill the ESG requirements.

    I don't think they'll announce anything this May 7th. As much as I wish there were new games that interested me (like a fire emblem 4 remake or metroid prime 4), objectively nintendo could easily get away with another year or two of nothing but remakes and much smaller games. The switch has too much momentum and goodwill generated over the years to kill it easily.
    Not to mention their evergreen titles like mario kart and animal crossing.
    There's also the fact that competitor consoles have been underwhelming. Almost no exclusives, very little variety of AAA games generally as most of them are open world, remakes or live services. so if you wanted a new banjo kazooie, or a brand new 3d platformer for example, you're SOL. A lot of AAA games on consoles are ending up at 30fps anyways, making the gap between switch and next gen far less impressive.
    I can see nintendo repeating this year's lineup so far for another year or two before they budge and give us a successor console.
