May 12 opens The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and everything seems to indicate that It will be Nintendo’s last major launch for its hybrid console nintendoswitchaccording to the report of the renowned VGC insider, Andy Robinson.
Launched on March 3, 2017, the Switch has since then carried all the big N video games to the present day. That is to say, that in two months it will be six years old, but a little behind next-generation consoles such as the PlayStation 5 (PS5) or the Xbox Series S and Series X.
A report published on the website of Hobby Consoles remember that several insiders and journalists have insisted that there are winds of innovation in the Nintendo offices and now it is Robinson who is talking about “a new hardware”.
First, Digital Foundry claimed that Nintendo had canceled development of a Switch Pro console. Now, Andy Robinson said: “from what i hear, I wouldn’t be surprised if Nintendo starts talking about new hardware for 2024. I’m not convinced there’s another great first-party game other than Zelda left on Switch.”.

Other claims support the rumors
These rumors and the information from experts make sense if we take into account other statements. For example, recently Shigeru Miyamoto assured that he did not rule out the idea of Nintendo games going to 4K format. Of course, for this, they needed to make a new console.
In addition, Christopher Dring of GamesIndustry.biz He also said at the time that after The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the big N has no more important titles to launch: “I heard that after Zelda, Nintendo doesn’t have a major game for quite some time.”.
The Breath of the Wild sequel won Most Anticipated at this year’s Game Awards. This new title follows the story of Link and Zelda after the climactic ending of the previous game as they attempt to rebuild Hyrule.
