The Week In Games: Return To Hyrule<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa told investors on a call Tuesday that no new Switch or revised versions like the Switch Lite and OLED model were factored into the 2023 fiscal outlook, Bloomberg<\/em> reports<\/span>. While that doesn\u2019t entirely preclude the company from surprise-launching something, or beginning to tease it later in the year, it certainly makes any imminent launch of a more powerful Switch console unlikely.<\/p>\n

This will be the third year in a row<\/span> now that players have been waiting for Nintendo to announce a more powerful handheld hybrid. Other companies aren\u2019t waiting for the famed publisher to make the next move either. Valve launched its own Steam Deck PC gaming handheld<\/span> and Asus is now preparing to compete with the ROG Ally, a pricey device that nevertheless promises powerful specs. Then again, none of those have The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom<\/em><\/span>.<\/p>\n
