Nintendo's new console is being dubbed the "Switch 2" and an insider is claiming it will be called the "New Switch."

Will the next installment in the beloved Mario Party series be released for the current Nintendo Switch or its rumored successor? Recent developments suggest that the new console may indeed be on the horizon, with Nintendo themselves reportedly using the same unofficial name that fans have been using for years.

Despite not knowing the official name of the new console, fans have been referring to it as the "Switch 2" due to its expected similarities to the current Switch. And it seems that Nintendo may share this sentiment, as a Japanese source has revealed that they use both "Switch 2" and "New Switch" when discussing the console with other companies.

Of course, these names are not set in stone and may change before the official release. But it's worth noting that they follow a pattern that Nintendo has used in the past with consoles like the New Nintendo 3DS and the Super NES. This suggests that the new console may indeed share similarities with the current Switch and could potentially be marketed as an upgraded version.

Notable industry insider Midori, who has a track record of reliable leaks, recently revealed some interesting information about Nintendo's codenames and upcoming projects. This includes a possible remake of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which not only hinted at a potential launch title but also shed light on how Nintendo uses codenames.

Midori also mentioned a new game in development with the codename "Banquet," being developed by companies NDcube and SmileBoom. While SmileBoom may not be a well-known name, NDcube has been working with Nintendo since the early 2000s and has developed several Mario Party games. This, along with the fact that the previous Mario Party game was codenamed "Buffet," strongly suggests that a new entry in the series is in the works.

The only question remaining is whether this new Mario Party will be released for the current Switch or the rumored Switch 2. Considering that Mario Party games are often released in time for the holiday season and Nintendo has some open slots in their release schedule, it's safe to assume that fans can expect the game to be released this year.
