As such, you can see why there’s an appetite to see the Switch updated with a few new bells and whistles, particularly in terms of the framerate it can achieve.
Well, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa recently took to social media to announce what’s next for the company: “This is Furukawa, President of Nintendo. We will make an announcement about the successor to Nintendo Switch within this fiscal year.”
“It will have been over nine years since we announced the existence of Nintendo Switch back in March 2015.

As for how it’s been inferred that SPRed might be anOdysseysequel, Midori added that Nintendo was working on SilverStar alongside RedStar, which sounds a whole lot like a sequel toOdyssey.
