Nintendo is prepared to support the original Switch after Switch 2 launches

by

As we move forward with a shift in Nintendo console generations, there’s always the query about how long the current generation will last before being phased out completely. Fortunately, for those who aren’t upgrading to the Switch 2, they can rest easy knowing they won’t be left behind any time soon. According to Doug Bowser, Nintendo understands that not everyone will upgrade immediately, so they plan to continue supporting the original Switch even after the release of the Switch 2.

As a devoted fan, I’m excited to share that during a chat with The Washington Post, Bowser revealed his plans to continue supporting the original Nintendo Switch even after the launch of Switch 2. When queried about the lifespan of the original device, Bowser expressed an upbeat perspective, indicating continued commitment and support.

150 million users on the original Nintendo Switch is quite an impressive figure, as just two months ago, it was reported that the console had surpassed this number in sales. Even if not all consoles are currently in use, Nintendo still claimed 129 million active players for the year 2024. This is a substantial number of gamers, and it appears Nintendo has no intention of abandoning them, despite the sleek appearance of the upcoming Switch 2.

It appears that the Nintendo Switch 2 will not render the current model obsolete for loyal players, as it seems there are no immediate concerns about the original Switch transforming into a useless device upon the release of its successor in June 2025. Keep an eye on this topic for further updates and news regarding the Nintendo Switch 2.
