Nintendo Director Denies Recent Rumors of Switch Successor

In a recent statement, Nintendo's president Shuntaro Furukawa addressed rumors surrounding the development of a new Nintendo Switch successor as incorrect. Speculation that the console was shown to developers behind closed doors at Gamescom and information disclosed to Activision last year were deemed inaccurate. Furukawa also dismissed claims related to a patent revealing a dual-screen hybrid console that surfaced online.

Despite these denials, it's not uncommon for Nintendo to initially refute claims about new hardware developments, even sometimes shortly before announcing a new product. Official details on any potential successor to the Switch remain undisclosed. As is typical in the gaming industry, secretive work on new hardware often precedes official announcements.
