Greatly looking forward to this, the Switch needs a hardware upgrade badly.

Not looking forward to how impossible it will be for anyone to get one due to the ongoing chip shortage.

I wonder how much more it'll cost.

I still don't have a Switch but I think it's going to be time for one soon. Could just jump right to this new model.

While I'm not calling bs, I don't see the logic in it. Nintendo has been selling as many Switch consoles as they can make for quite awhile now, so the timing feels off.

The logic I've heard is that the chip in the Switch is expensive to produce for various reasons, and using a more powerful newer generation chip would actually be cheaper.

Super Switch is my hope, I think Switch Plus is also a likely possibility. 'Pro' just doesn't feel very Nintendo at all.

There's probably only going to be a handful of games specifically tailored for this. I've got a New 3DS because of Xenoblade Chronicles and nothing else.

If this is true then the timing would make a lot more sense.

It's kind of what I figured. They can produce it cheaper and charge more for it. Mid-generation "upgrades" seem to be the new normal though. They'll leverage plenty of existing Switch owners into buying the new one. Modern gaming is kind of a sham.

I expect a $400 pricetag since it is an upgrade. The only 3ds I've ever owned was New 3DS XL. I can make this the only Switch.

All the "leakers" with "insider information" said it was going to be announced today

Just like it was going to be announced last week

Just like it was going to be announced last month

Just like it was going to be announced last year

Just like it was going to be announced the year before that

Yeah this is getting pretty tiring at this point
They will get it right eventually but at this point it will be more luck than anything

Anytime you see "Well Emily Rogers says" you can just assume it's not happening.

I decided to look at "Switch Pro" just now.. First article I see?

"May come a little later than expected, probably after E3"

I hadn't been paying attention to any gaming news lately but really clickbait. The internet will be spammed with more rumors soon enough and it's already starting.

I can't say I'm surprised that it's all obvious clickbait, but the moral of the story is: If it's not directly from Nintendo itself, just ignore it.

Just a reminder that we have heard those Switch Pro rumors for 3 years now
https://www.wsj.com/articles/nintendo-plans-new-version-of-switch-next-year-1538629322

This time it does sound like it will happen (too many "leaks" not to) but every source so far turned out to be wrong

once Nintendo confirmed they have an E3 Direct planned this was dead in the water. They wouldn't announce things out of order like that!

All the rumors were about them announcing specifically before their E3 Direct.

Would be pretty cool if their "one last thing" was the Switch Pro instead of a game.

Or better yet, Switch Pro confirmation followed by Prime 4 footage.

Okay I'll stop getting my hopes up now.

I figured announcing it before E3 made sense, so any third parties with upcoming games could actually show pro footage at their E3 showcases (especially since Nintendo is basically going last).

While there is a chance it is intentional misdirection, the announcement about the Nintendo Direct goes out of its way to say it is only about Switch software:

Imagine Pokemon Legends Arceus looking like crap on purpose so they can show how much better it looks on the "Switch Pro"
Well..I can dream
