This particular leaker has been consistently correct with Samsung related leaks, plus we now know the next platform will have colored buttons similar to the SNES/N3DS.

The next model after Switch is Nintendo Super Play (pseudonym)
Play with game chips like a switch
It has the same button structure as the Super Famicom.
Maintaining the existing concept of being able to play inside and outside the home, but not using a dock like the Switch

If the name is real, I bet it gets marketed as Nintendo SP, like the "Nintendo Dual Screen" was the DS.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't care about this. I know every other thing I play is "Docked" PC, Xbox, etc. But even back with the Wii U, I'd say my playtime docked vs undocked is easily, EASILY 90-10 split.

It's the reason I don't give Nintendo games that much shit about specs. I have my PC for that.

Your source says it's a pseudonym, so literally no, it is not to be called "Nintendo Super Play".

Also it says "maintaining the same concept for inside and outside play" but "not using a dock". That doesn't mean it won't be a hybrid console, just that they're ditching the dock setup. Really, this guy is saying almost nothing. The Switch dock is basically a plastic rectangle port extension anyway!

Hard to claim a leak when the major points are a name that won't be the name, already known information, and what could easily be an educated guess.

It would still hook to the tv. Just no dock. I assume a simple plug in.

Depends on if it still has detachable controllers. Steam Deck doesn't use a dock but you can connect a display cable, so I imagine it would be in that vein.

Steamdeck can be connected to USB-C docks which is basically what the Switch dock is.

Since it says "using the existing structure, but without using a dock" something like this is most likely. Probably a Bluetooth connection.

If it's something like this then maybe it'll allow for some games to use both the TV screen and the handheld screen Wii U style.

Assuming it's real, maybe it'll be a wireless dock that just needs to be in the same room as the console, but doesn't need to be physically connected. I imagine it'd still function as a stand, though.

Bluetooth does not have the bandwidth for video signal. That's not to say it won't be wireless; just that it won't specifically be Bluetooth (more likely, it'll be based on wifi if it is wireless).

The leaker has a pretty good track record with Samsung/ARM device leaks and the whole colored button thing has been confirmed by gameplay footage from the last two Nintendo Directs

At least with the (tentative) name of Super Play, it avoids a Wii to Wii U situation.

Not surprised either by Nintendo focusing more on the "play it on handheld" style either, isn't mobile super popular on Japan?

No dock to me means that there is some wireless connection to TV and it will allow you to use the switch as a second screen. A true successor to SWITCH and Wii U and the Wii with the controllers and the DS with dual screens

they might go for hdmi still, it's nintendo.

my guess? it'll be some horrible app on your TV, you'll need a smart TV, etc etc. it wont be compatible with 99% of screens old gamers have and also require the subscription service to play on a TV.
