According to comments made by Furukawa during Nintendo's recent shareholder Q&A, the plan is to utilise the existing Nintendo Account system to make the jump to the next generation as smooth as possible for customers. Here's part of what Nintendo's president had to say, courtesy of a translation by Twitter user Genki:

Shuntaro Furukawa: "As for the transition from Nintendo Switch to the next generation machine, we want to do as much as possible in order to smoothly transition our customers, while utilizing the Nintendo Account."

The hybrid design is probably the way they're going to go. I'd love a higher spec one that isn't though, even if it's just a pipe dream. The ideal set-up for me personally would be:

  • "New Switch Lite" - Undockable, permanently handheld, like the Switch Lite but with better hardware.

  • "New Switch" - Dockable, again like the Switch, but better hardware.

  • "New Switch Pro" - Undockable, permanently docked, better hardware than the New Switch.

New Switch obviously not the best name, but my creativity is bankrupt. At least it's not Switch U.

Just saving this comment for when "Switch U" is officially announced in April 2024 ๐Ÿ˜…

It is Nintendo after all

Super Switch would be cute.
