Furukawa reportedly wants Pokémon Winds and Waves to sell big on Switch 2

Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves are headed to Switch 2 in 2027, according to November 10, 2026 posts by Genki_JPN and Stealth40k. Both quote Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa calling the games “very important” for the console’s third year and saying Nintendo intends to do its best to maximize their sales. No pressure, then.

The 2027 window comes from “next year” in the November 2026 posts; it isn’t an independently verified release announcement. Neither post’s text establishes when or where Furukawa spoke, and the wording and translation remain unauthenticated. Source Source

In Stealth40k’s longer account, Furukawa is quoted saying The Pokémon Company handles Pokémon business development and that he will “refrain from giving any specific explanation.” That post offers no numerical sales target or detailed strategy. “Maximize” is an ambition, not a spreadsheet.
