While we are still in the dark about Nintendo’s plans for its successor to the popular Nintendo Switch system, we do know it will be revealed before end of March 2025. VGC recently caught up with veteran video game developer, Suda51, to chat about a range of things including his thoughts on the Nintendo Switch 2 and whether he is planning to develop anything for it. Here’s what he had to say:
Finally, Nintendo has just announced that the successor to the Switch will be revealed sometime before the end of March 2025. As someone who was present at the event announcing the Switch, are you currently developing anything for the next console?
As a developer, are there any features you’d like to see in the next system that are currently missing or not good enough in the current Switch?
Just like everyone else, I have no idea what’s coming up. But I’m really looking forward to seeing what they come up with as both a gamer and as a developer.
The Switch is a really successful and all-around great platform so I’d be hard pressed to try to find parts of it that aren’t “good enough”, and it’s done did great things for indie games in particular. I think the Switch is awesome not only for players of all types but for developers of all types as well, especially indie developers
Even now, I still think it’s an amazing platform. I don’t have anything in particular that I can think of as far as new features I want to see in the next-gen iteration of it are concerned, but I’m really looking forward to seeing what Nintendo does with it. They’ve always done revolutionary stuff for software and the video game industry in general.
I’m super excited for the next console, especially since we’re definitely gonna cook for it.
Hopefully Nintendo will be smart enough to make it backwards compatible so their recents games everybody’s poured thousands into with a little luck the controllers won’t have drifter issues like their other switches they’ve made.
