Nintendo has released new important information about the successor to the Nintendo Switch, about which there is very little official information.

The same was confirmed at an investor briefing on Wednesday.
It is currently known that the Kyoto-based company will continue to release new Switch software.
“Moving away from the traditional dedicated video game platform business cycles we have seen in the past, we intend to maintain the momentum of our business by continuing to attract many people to Nintendo Switch,” the company said in its presentation material.
