Rumor: New Nintendo console set for 2024, development kits sent

Nintendo Switch 114 Million Sales Thumbnail

“Key developers” have already got their hands on kits for the next Nintendo system to follow the Switch; at least according to some sources.

VGC reported that, development kits have already made it into the hands of some developers in order to have a lineup of games prepared for when the system launches.

When is the new Nintendo system launching? If the sources are right, sometime in 2024. It’s a vague answer but with no real news on a Switch successor for years it’s about time for the next big Nintendo console.

For some context, the Wii U released in 2012 and the Nintendo Switch came out in 2017. Similarly the Wii came out in 2006 and the GameCube in 2001. Nintendo has set a precedent for a new system approximately every 5 to 6 years, meaning we’re close to overdue.
