Nintendo is Planning to Release a New Version of Switch Next Year

4.4
Today, Wall Street Journal Japan reported that Nintendo is planning to release a new version of its Switch console in the second half of 2019.

Wall Street Journal claims they obtained this information from hardware suppliers and sources directly connected to this new Switch project. According to these sources, this new Switch version would be part of Nintendo’s plan to keep the console’s sales high and prevent it from losing momentum. The new version would use a higher-quality screen and new hardware functionalities, but further details are unknown. The journal also reports this new Switch probably won’t use OLED panels like the ones used in Apple’s iPhone X series.

The Nintendo Switch released worldwide on March 2017 and has topped hardware chart sales around the globe multiple times since then, so it’s understandable Nintendo wants to keep the console’s momentum going. Nintendo is quite used to releasing updated hardware as well, so this news shouldn’t come off as much of a surprise.

Yep, I knew this was going to happen its like the DS to the DSLite to the DSi to the 3DS to the 3DSxl and so forth, I am excited too see what they do and hopefully they improve the hardware.

PCPosted:

I feel the switch is not even fully developed yet. I feel that its lacking games still and still needs a lot more content and for them to already be talking about releasing their next console... Finish the switch first.

is it going to have the hardware issue, the 1 and 10 or whatever pins arent needed really because you have to short those two out to mod the console anyways so if the new models removes the 1 and 10 or whatever pins then the issue is patched. honestly though the new model better drop the modifiable version down in price

MazePosted:

Wonder what it will entail, hopefully this means the original will drop in price :D

GaryPosted:

I doubt its new hardware with upgrades. Most likely a revision to patch hardware exploits.

GroguPosted:

We all knew it was going to happen eventually

Damn this would be kind of upsetting to current switch owners

YePosted:

They have to change with the times, I think it is very early to see another version.
