Nintendo’s Next-gen Console Will Reportedly Launch In the Second Half of 2024

According to several anonymous sources from VGC and Eurogamer, who have “knowledge of Nintendo’s next-gen console”, Nintendo’s next console will launch in the second half of 2024, and the console’s development kits have already been handed out to several partner studios. Additionally, some sources claimed that like the Nintendo Switch, the console will have a portable mode, and it will launch with an LCD screen as opposed to an OLED screen, to reduce costs and required storage for games. The console will also run physical games via a cartridge slot similar to the Nintendo Switch. Details about the console’s backwards compatibility have yet to be revealed. None of these claims have officially been confirmed by Nintendo.

Details of the Nintendo Switch’s latest exclusive The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom:

In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, which is a direct sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, players decide their own path through the sprawling landscapes of Hyrule and on the mysterious islands floating in the vast skies above. Discover new destinations, dangers, sights and puzzles that require wits and resourcefulness to overcome. Harnessing the power of Link’s new abilities, players will fight back against the malevolent forces that threaten the kingdom.

The Legend of Zelda action–adventure series started over 35 years ago with the Legend of Zelda game, which debuted in the United States in 1987 for the Nintendo Entertainment System. As the heroic Link, players go on an adventure battling foes and discovering hidden mysteries in vast fields and dungeons. As of March 2023, the series has sold more than 130 million units worldwide.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is now available in Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch, the My Nintendo Store and select retailers at a suggested retail price of $69.99. The Nintendo Switch OLED Model – The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Edition system, featuring a special design (game sold separately), is also available at a suggested retail price of $359.99.

Additionally, two accessories—a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller ($74.99 MSRP) and a Nintendo Switch carrying case ($24.99 MSRP), both with designs from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom—are also now available to purchase.
