A lot of speculation is going around when the Switch successor will be unveiled. I have a theory about that.
Nintendo announced the new Nintendo Museum to finish construction March 24 2024 at the last September Direct. Obviously such an occasion warrants an Opening Event. When exactly this Opening Event happens is unclear. It might be March, it might roll into April. But I believe this is the perfect opportunity for the reveal of the Switch successor.
For this Opening Event, obviously Nintendo will invite local and international media. Nintendo will invite industry partners and who knows perhaps the Japanese Prime Minister will show up. the event is live streamed during a special Direct.
During the opening Nintendo will present an overview of Nintendo systems throughout the years among other things. From early arcades, Famicom, Game & Watch all the way up until the Switch. But what is that? the Switch is not the last system in line. At the end is a Question Block!
It is now that Furukawa and Myamoto enter the stage. They announce that even though the Nintendo Museum is about celebrating the past, here is a look at the future! They unbox the Question Block and there it is, the New gen Nintendo Console!
We then get a 2-3 minute overview trailer about the new device, with a glimpse of new titles. After the trailer, Nintendo tells us to look forward at a future event where they go into more detail at a later date.
It practically writes itself. What do you think, will the reveal happen at the Nintendo Museum?
