Nintendo of America President Doug Bowser sought to address these concerns in a recent interview with Inverse. While he didn’t directly confirm the existence of a Nintendo Switch successor, he did indicate that steps were being taken to facilitate the transition to a new console.
Bowser mentioned that “in the past, every device we transitioned to had a whole new account system.” However, the introduction of the Nintendo Account system with the Nintendo Switch is expected to significantly reduce the disruptions gamers typically experience during the transition from one console generation to another.
