It’s finally time: after months of teases and rumors, Nintendo has officially unveiled the successor to the Switch, marking a significant moment in the gaming entertainment landscape. A new console generation is always pivotal, and this one is especially crucial for Nintendo.
Since its debut in 2017, the Switch has emerged as Nintendo’s second-bestselling piece of hardware, second only to the Nintendo DS.

Ultimate, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and the blockbuster hit Mario Kart 8.
