The firm revealed that it is developing new dedicated games hardware, which it has codenamed 'NX'.
While no details have been revealed - such as whether it is a console or handheld device - it intends to discuss the platform next year.
The plans were revealed alongside news that Nintendo would be working with DeNA to create mobile and tablet games based on Nintendo franchises.
"As proof that Nintendo maintains strong enthusiasm for the dedicated game system business, let me confirm that Nintendo is currently developing a dedicated game platform with a brand-new concept under the development codename 'NX'," said Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata.
"It is too early to elaborate on the details of this project, but we hope to share more information with you next year."
In 2013, Nintendo announced it was to merge its handheld and console divisions to come up with "next-generation game systems".
The most recent Nintendo consoles were the 3DS, launched in 2011, and the Wii U, launched in 2012.
Nintendo launched New 3DS hardware last month in Europe and North America, while the Wii U had its best month of sales in the US in December.
Last month, analyst Michael Pachter said that Nintendo is in denial over its failure to court third-party publishers.
