Nintendo is working on two new versions of the Switch that could be released as soon as this summer, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal. One of the models is said to be a cheaper variant, while the other device reportedly has “enhanced features targeted at avid video gamers.”
The WSJ says the cheaper model will omit the vibration feature, suggesting that it won’t have detachable Joy-Con controllers at all; it’s said to be seen as a successor to the 3DS. Nikkei reported earlier this year that Nintendo was planning to release a smaller Switch with a focus on portability.
Cheaper one makes sense. Enhanced one is probably just slightly better so you can stream on twitch without a capture card or some shit.

Just give me a non shit resolution while docked and I'm sold
Noah Lee
Enhanced one hopefully has a better CPU somehow so we can get some games to actually run at 60 like Dark Souls
Carson Kelly
They said the enhanced revision won't be as strong as the PS4Pro and Xbox One X so it's at the minimum as strong as an Xbox One and PS4 if not stronger.

I don’t give a shit about resolution, the only thing that would make me consider upgrading would be stable 60 FPS on games like Astral Chain. I’m pretty happy with the switch as is, so it’d need to be a really good deal to get me to buy At least i could give my current one to my gf if I cave
Jayden Howard
that would be more than enough considering the graphics of Switch games

Logan King
big if true

As in something most people could carry in their pockets, I’d imagine
So now that I’m thinking about it, that might actually require new joy-cons for a smaller model. Either the switch has to stay the same height and only shrink horizontally, with big black bars on top and bottom, or the joycons would have to be taller than the console itself. I guess they could just have it as one fused piece but that’d limit the gameplay of so many games

i already know the 2nd model won't have enhanced performance and my "4k switch" idea is never going to come true but I'm going to get my hopes up anyway.
Any actual word from Nintendo? Because I've been seeing news of revisions totally gonna happen any day now, honest since 2-3 months after the Switch came out, and jack shit has come out of any of it.
Brody Williams
Will the enhanced still have the portable screen? Been waiting for the 2nd gen switch.

RESO FAGGOTS FUCK OFF FRAMERATE IS WHAT MATTERS FIRST AND FOREMOST
Nolan Robinson
This is a little different, this is the WSJ following up on a rumor but it isn’t being called a rumor any more
Lincoln Long
Ok, but is there actually any word from Nintendo about it? Because this shit is completely worthless otherwise. This is probably the 8th revision ""leak"" I've heard about in the last 2 years or so.
Report Not a rumor, not a leak, a report Unless the WSJ is willingly jeopardizing their credibility for almost no reason, they got this info from Nintendo
Jason Barnes
Also way more space is very likely, since the Download-only retardness get's way overhand.
Shut the fuck up you dumb snoy CUNT. This is our time, the Switch will finally be relevant. Stop quaking in your damn high heels that the PS4 will finally be dethroned, WE'RE FINALLY GONNA WIN BOYS.
Chase Cooper
I wish
Brandon Bell
Well, only in firmware there are hints that there is "another" Switch, codename "Mariko". So nobody can say for sure what it actually is, maybe just some devtool, maybe the next big revision (which most tend to believe).
Michael Diaz
maybe
Samuel Young
I like this.
Jaxson Bell
Do you really think there will be a dpad? It seems like nintendo would be hesitant when all of then on-screen prompts in every game show the circular buttons. That’d be a hassle to fix
Gabriel Bailey
>Do you really think there will be a dpad?
I hope so, although am skeptical it will happen.
Nathaniel Flores
>stream Probably what it will be. Fucking nintendo.
Easton Moore
I doubt it will even be as powerful as a bone, the difference would be too big for a shared library.
