Nintendo has officially positioned the Nintendo Switch 2 as the company’s new foundation for software development and hardware innovation. The announcement came from Shuntaro Furukawa, President of Nintendo, during the company’s Second Quarter Financial Results and Corporate Management Policy Briefing for the fiscal year ending March 2026, which you can read the entirety of here.
During the brief, Furukawa described the Nintendo Switch 2 as “the new standard for Nintendo Switch,” confirming that all future software development will now be centered around the new system. This marks a major generational shift and shows that Nintendo’s long-term creative and business strategies are fully focused on the upgraded hybrid console.
The Switch 2 continues Nintendo’s core philosophy of allowing players to “play anytime, anywhere, with anyone,” but introduces significant advancements that set it apart from its predecessor. One of the biggest new additions is GameChat, a communication feature that lets players talk and see each other through an integrated camera. It’s the first time Nintendo has offered direct video communication between players on one of its systems.
