Fans Speculate What Might Be Coming Next for Nintendo

With a keen awareness of the most likely object for fan speculation, Nintendo followed up their announcement with a clarifying message. “Please note, there will be no mention of the Nintendo Switch successor during either of these presentations.” This information is also clearly indicated in the description for the livestream on Nintendo’s YouTube channel.
