Nintendo President shuts down \u201cinaccurate\u201d Switch 2 rumors NintendoNintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa has publicly stated that the Nintendo Switch 2 rumors are \u201cinaccurate\u201d as part of the company\u2019s financial earnings report. There have been many rumors about the successor to the Nintendo Switch, as the console has been on the market since 2017 and is nearing the end of its lifespan. The Switch managed to avoid a mid-cycle hardware upgrade (as the OLED Switch only has a nicer screen), so a successor should be on the cards. Nintendo has been coy about making statements regarding a new Switch, especially as the current system still has games coming out for it. There have been hints that a Nintendo Account will be key to the next system, but there\u2019s also been no official announcement that it actually exists. Most recently, there have been reports of a patent made by Nintendo for a dual-screen device, which fans suspect could be the design for the Switch 2, as it would allow DS and 3DS games to be released on the system, something that isn\u2019t possible on the Switch. Nintendo President has denied Switch 2 Gamescom and dual-screen rumors There have been a lot of leaks regarding the specifications of the Switch 2, and these have now been put to rest by Nintendo during the company\u2019s latest financial earnings report. A machine-translated report by Mainichi features a statement by Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa on the matter. Furukawa states, \u201cRumors are circulating mainly on the Internet as if they were public information, but they are inaccurate.\u201d He also addressed the rumors regarding the Switch 2 being shown at Gamescom, which he claims are \u201cuntrue.\u201d When discussing the dual-screen patent, Furukawa states, \u201cI applied with the understanding that (the patent information) would be made public. It does not mean that it will be installed in a product.\u201d Usually, if rumors like this are true, then executives won\u2019t comment on them or will dodge the question. In this case, these are outright denials by the President of Nintendo, so fans should notice them. There are many rumors about the Switch 2 coming from different sources, so there\u2019s reason to believe that it\u2019s coming, especially as the Switch\u2019s upcoming first-party schedule is bare. Hopefully, players won\u2019t have to wait long until Nintendo is ready to reveal its next console, and the speculation can end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
