Nintendo's New Era: A Gorilla Adventure and Future Surprise for Iconic Franchises

This update offers a glimpse into Nintendo’s plans for its upcoming console, providing details on the lineup and future releases that fans have eagerly anticipated.

The new Switch model will not debut with a reimagined platform adventure from its famous Italian hero. Instead, the launch will feature a single-player platformer starring a beloved gorilla character, scheduled for release on July 17. This decision does not indicate that the franchise’s most celebrated plumber is nearing the end of his long-standing career, according to the president of Nintendo of America.

• The console’s introductory title will spotlight a well-known primate protagonist in a new adventure.
• Nintendo plans to gradually enrich the system’s library with various cherished intellectual properties.
• When questioned about the possibility of another main installment featuring the famous plumbing hero, the response was to remain alert for future announcements.

The official pointed out that a host of cherished franchises will eventually appear on the new platform. He explained that the extensive range of properties will be introduced one after the other over time, suggesting that a fresh, three-dimensional main entry might eventually materialize.

Observers note that while the team behind the celebrated three-dimensional adventure has not made any public confirmations in recent years, there is speculation that hints of the studio’s legacy may be found in the upcoming title’s credits. It seems plausible that once development on the new primate adventure is finalized, efforts could shift back to reinvigorating the iconic plumber's legacy, leaving fans to wonder when the next three-dimensional romp in the series will arrive.
