As “Switch 2” rumors continue to gain momentum, Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa seems We are determined to question the accuracy of all the reports we have read in recent weeks.
Several sources claimed that the Japanese company introduced a new console behind closed doors at the Gamescom fair that took place a few weeks ago. before showing it back to a few developers at the Tokyo Games Show. But at a recent company earnings conference call, Furukawa addressed the recent controversy around “Switch 2″ by saying: ” Online rumors masquerading as public information are not true “.
Nintendo denies rumors about Switch 2
Despite several consistent reports from generally very reliable sources that select developers have supposedly had the opportunity to participate in the demo of the next Nintendo console. The company says none of this is true, without going into further detail.
As a reminder, these reports stated that the so-called “Switch 2” will be as powerful as the PS4, but will offer PS5-like quality thanks to Nvidia’s technologies like DLSS. It could run a modified version of The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild at 4K resolution and 60 frames per second, as well as Epic’s Unreal Engine 5 demo The Matrix Awakens.
Furukawa didn’t stop there, citing the recently filed patent for a dual-screen design This led to further speculation regarding a potential “Switch 2”. The Nintendo president explained: “ We applied for a patent knowing that the information would be made public. This does not necessarily mean that we plan to equip our future products with it. “.
History has shown that Nintendo is known for denying rumors, but soon confirmed them. It currently seems unlikely that we’ll get an official announcement regarding “Switch 2” this year, and everything now points to it coming as early as next year.
