However, Nintendo has a habit of moving their top development teams to next gen development early in order to get the new console off the ground and we aren't seeing this yet. Breath of the Wild 2 and Splatoon 3 are scheduled for 2022 and EPD Tokyo's next game is also expected to be a Switch title. By the looks of it, there are too many high profile Switch games still in the works to make a Switch successor launch before 2024 a sensible decision. While there might be other teams who could release games in 2023, there would be too big of a gap for the teams of Mario, Zelda and Splatoon to follow up in timely fashion. |
These big EPD releases in 2022 are a good point, haven't thought about it, but a Switch 2 in 2023 would go nearly empty on new big releases, as the studios aren't ready again.
