That would be AMAZING if true.
This re-skined switch is coming out in August. If Nintendo RELEASES a Switch pro THIS YEAR, wouldn’t that make the owners of the Splatoon OLED pissed? that also means the announcement is coming by September at the latest.

If it was a Zelda themed Switch I’d probably get it but I’d still be mad If they released a better Switch within a couple months of my purchase.

Sounds like a bad idea yeah. But never underestimate Nintendo!

 

[Draugoth]

That would suck for SplOLED owners.

It sucks but it happens frequently with hardware releases.

 

[PumpkinPie]

They could be...

Spoiler

or they could not be

 

[ultrazilla]

I'd be all in for a more powerful "tv only" Switch console. If it means Nintendo embraces 4k and aims for 60fps performance.

If they could even make the base hardware do 1080/60fps with DLSS bumping performance up to 4k now that would in interesting.

There's no doubt in my mind we'll be getting a new "Next" Switch model releasing with The LOZ: BOTW2.

Nintendo has:

• Spent over 66,517 million yen on raw materials (twice they spent for the Switch Lite)
• Trademarked "NSW" which is often used in NVIDIA files to refer to the Switch platform
• Private'd their YouTube videos for the Lite & OLED

lol but those points don't lead to a Switch successor, what's going on here 'shrug*

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

They did announce it....the Splatoon 3 bundle

 

[cash_longfellow]

Then they announce the Switch U

Ffs….here we go

 

[ZoolNL]

Why would they make the OLED video private?

Since Xenoblade 3 is coming to regular Switch, that means it'll be another 5 years before I have to buy their terrible hardware.

Licensed song were used in the promo. The rights for these songs ended this year.

 

[ZoolNL]

Nintendo has a known cycle to release every 6 years.
Wii was omega successful, they still released the wii u 6 years later.
Same with Sony.
They released ps3 despite ps2 being sony's best selling console ever.

Wiiu was released in 2012 and switch was 2017 but announced in 2016. So it’s about time.. wii was released in 2006 and replaced in 2012 indeed. Gamecube was 2001 or 2002?

Whatever.. it’s time

A super powerful Nintendo console (PS5 equivalent) that plays only on TV AND they allow us to buy retro games instead of renting them and I'm all in. Release a weak console/portable hybrid and it will be the 1st time I don't purchase a Nintendo console.

Hahahaha

Hahahaha

Yep. How silly of me to think Nintendo would actually think too hard about their fans and what we truly want...

And it happened to expire EXACTLY the day before they announce the Splatoon Switch? You really believe that?

I really doubt they're gonna over-complicate things by adding another mode. Handheld, Base, and then Boosted. Three modes. I don't think that's gonna happen. I think they will go straight next-gen when the time comes, with two modes, through and through..

That said, it's too soon in my humble opinion. But I'd love to be wrong.

What people seem to forget is that access to more information doesn't just mean that you have more information. It also means that you have more false information.

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

I hope Switch 2 releases In 2029 just because I'm petty

 

[Crayon]

I just want to see if it's a straightforward switch 2 or some sideshow bullshit.

 

[sachos]

Man i really hope they go for a home conosole only "pro" version together with the usual hybrid model.

 

[lovetalkgames]

I would like built in alarm clock functionality please.
