With the recent announcements of the Xbox Series X and PS5, fans are beginning to speculate what the successor to Nintendo's much-loved fusion console, the Switch, will look like.
Will it follow in the footsteps of the Wii, Wii U and Switch, or will it make a dramatic shift to high-tech home consoling, a la its Microsoft and Sony competitors? Yeah, right. It will be the Wii 2's successor, ordered by Miyamoto himself.
Players will be able to place their thumbs on a built-in touchpad or mirror it on-screen to play Mario Kart, Pokemon or any of several power-up ultra-popular titles. They'll be able to place their thumbs on an internal sensor that projects holographic 3D maps, just like in the Kinect or PlayStation Move console, but not in real-time.

"We're constantly working on changes and improvements. It's not immediately clear what we'll be calling the Switch. One possibility is Zelda for Switch, but Nintendo does not want to make Zelda for Switch depending on if other titles will be doing well," I was told by Nintendo's senior marketing manager, Satoshi Sugawara, in an interview last night.
In other words, Nintendo does not want 2 titles in the same title and a new one every time its system goes on sale, so it won't be the same as its competition. The console does not have to be as portable or as big as a Wii, but Nintendo wants to differentiate it from its competitors and earn some of where it remains down as the current-gen systems, namely having a large directory of shmups.
No Nintendo Switch this year: game figures.
Given the game industry size and number of titles being developed, it will be hard for Nintendo to replicate the success that it has seen with N64 games such as Super Mario 64 or Contra that evoked affection and nostalgia for generations of gamers. The company also has a cultural heritage that anchors its home console hardware and open-world hunting game called Animal Crossing that almost exclusive enemy Feraligatr.
Just take a look to the release schedule of Mario Kart 8 as an example; the console wasn't released until September 2015 after the famed game hit stores' books. Right after Switch launches, you may not see the first wave of boost to games like Baten Kaitos, Arms or Breath of the Wild any sooner. The third-party support for Switch is another certainty that Nintendo hopes its hardware will be able to outlast and fuel.
