In a Q&A last week, the Japanese multinational video game company Nintendo NTDOY announced that it is developing more games for the 6 year old Nintendo Switch.
There are titles under development for the Nintendo Switch, and new titles will be proposed going forward, according to Shuntaro Furukawa, Nintendo s President.

We are seeing both new demand and multiple system demand for the hardware, so we think there is room for growth in sales. Furukawa said that we want to maintain a high level of engagement with the hardware and create new demand not only by releasing new titles but also by working to convey the appeal of existing titles.
Many wondered whether a new Nintendo Switch 2 or Nintendo Switch Pro would be on the way, as Nintendo's decision not to attend E 3 2023 sparked a lot of speculation about the company's plans for its console.
The company decided to address the concerns of investors by saying the console still has untapped potential, which was discarded by the company.
Furukawa said that they believe that new titles and evergreen titles can create opportunities for new users to purchase hardware.
In the Americas, software unit sales for the nine months between April and December decreased by 19.5% year-on-year, according to the company with headquarters in Kyoto. The Americas was the only region where unit sales declined year-on-year when you look at region-by-region performance. According to Kotaku, Nintendo is not expected to release new hardware until 2024 at the earliest.
The company is increasing the production of its existing Switch consoles to sell even more units this year than the last. Furukawa stated that the company intends to maintain the value and prices of hardware and software over the long term. He said that he does not believe that policy needs to be changed at this point.
