Nintendo has played the details and even the existence of a Nintendo Switch successor close to the vest, only announcing that there would even be one earlier this year. Of course rumors and speculation have been going on for much longer, and dev test kits for the new platform were allegedly sent out as early as July last year.
What we can expect from the upcoming Nintendo Direct is trailers and announcements for upcoming games in the latter half of 2024.
