>Japanese business journal Nikkei has a new report on Nintendo's plans for the Nintendo Switch with new details on future models. USG independently translated the report, which claims that a "next-generation" model of the Switch, different from a planned "inexpensive version," has been postponed. The reason appears to specifically be with getting the Nintendo Switch operating system running on this new hardware and an issue with power consumption.
>It's not clear based on the wording of the article whether this postponed model is the rumored Switch "Pro" or a complete hardware sequel, like a Nintendo Switch 2. What is reported, however, is that there is indeed more powerful Switch hardware in development, and Nintendo has encountered technical difficulties with it.
>ikkei refers to this as a "small bargain version of its main game console 'Nintendo Switch,'" and says it's releasing this fall. While it's reportedly designed for portable outdoor use, the report also suggests that it will be dockable and playable on the TV. This goes against earlier rumors that suggested the smaller Switch would do away with the TV component of the current Nintendo Switch model.
tl;dr: Switch Pro will come next year at best, while the Mini will be released in this one as it was always planned
>still no physical evidence anywhere that either of these exist
Levi Bell
Good. Can't wait to buy one. The current one is too big and expensive. The joycons are a gimmick. Just get rid of them entirely. >But then you can't play in tabletop mode Don't care >But then you can't use docked mode Just make a mini dock and bundle a pro controller with it. Done.

Jaxson Wood
can someone explain to me the whole dock/undocked thing. I don't need to buy anything seperate than the console right? Going to buy one at the end of the month but i have literally 0 interest in playing it hand-held, so i should be fine with just the console and pro-controller yes?
Aaron Peterson
Good thing Nintendo is going through a drought of games, cause then you don’t feel like you’re misaing out on anything
Nathaniel Edwards
What was leaked was what some guy setting up the demo area saw.
Nolan Torres
Having Nikkei report it is the best proof it exists because Nikkei has reported the existence of other Nintendo handhelds and consoles for the past decade or two and has never been wrong.
Kevin Miller
Isn't the switch mini literally a Vita?
Josiah Peterson
leaks are more often wrong than they are right
Carson Foster
The dock is mostly a piece of plastic with some tiny wires that allow the console to use most of it's power to run games in console mode. The issue with it is that for what it does it's fucking expensive and boosts the Switch price for about $80
>and boosts the Switch price for about $80 just because they sell the docks separately for that extortionate price does not at all mean that's how much they actually cost to manufacture
>The entire Switch launch presentation was leaked on Yea Forums. yeah, by a guy who actually physically saw it, which it kind of my point. This hardware revision rumor is quite literally a case of "he said, she said" with no hard evidence backing any of it whatsoever. Nobody has seen new hardware; no developers are aware of new hardware nor have dev kits (which would absolutely have been distributed by now for a "pro" model). I cannot say definitely that it's all bogus, but I am lenient towards this being misleading information at best.
Evan Gonzalez
Isn't Japan selling dockless Switches for about 2/3 of the original price tho?
Sebastian Bennett
>boosts the Switch price for about $80 The components are worth about $30 at a consumer level. They probably make it for about $10-15. The AC adapter is probably more expensive.
Lincoln Bailey

Noah Watson
So do i need one if i plan on using it purely on the TV then? Or do you use the dock for hand-held to get more power out of it in hand-held mode
Samuel Sanchez
>hardly even two years old >already thinking about a Switch 2 Holy shit, I hate this modern industry.
Nikkei has leaked Nintendo handhelds for a long time already. The fact that this is Nikkei confirms the existence of it since they're never wrong. We wont really see real evidence until Nintendo officially announces it.
Ryder Ortiz
no?
Cameron Davis
>So do i need one if i plan on using it purely on the TV then?
Pretty much. There have been third party docks that try to make the thing run on console mode while undocked, but it's heavily risky because it gets overheated like you wouldn't believe (and because it may also brick the thing)
The delayed version is closer to the DSi/New 3DS than an actual succesor. Same thing applies with the Switch mini being closer to the DS Lite/GBA micro
Jordan Walker
>Nintendo Switch 2 fucking greedy cunts
whore
Andrew Allen
>Switch Pro delayed God fuckin dammit, at this rate I'll end up getting a Switch once the Switch 2 is right around the corner.

Maybe the switch pro will be an actual upgrade then if power consumption is an issue and the hardware is changed enough for an OS reworking

Thomas Butler
Pro isn't a Switch 2. It's a side grade.
It's not a new console. It's not called the switch pee.
Nintendo literally said they're not making a revision and all talk about it is from dying sites desperate for clicks. Stop believing this shit you retard.
Console comes with everything you need, including a dock. So, yes you have it right.
This. Personally I suspect nintendo either priced the console itself at a loss with plan to gouge on peripherals to make it up, or the stupid high price was to set a psychological anchor point in case of future parallel processing docks.
Tyler Kelly
Why would they drop the joycons? They make thousands from the joycons alone.
>sub-$200 It'll be $229.99 (75% of Switch price rounded up to the next $9.99) and they might tell you to buy an AC adapter separately.
Hudson Nguyen
b-but top analysts said the switch is a dying console that needs a hardware refresh before july to survive!

Console manufacturers start kicking around ideas for next-gen hardware about 1-2 years after their last launch. Only reason gen 7 lasted as long as it did was the Great Recession.

Cooper Anderson
that wasn't a revision, it was a straight-up downgrade
Jordan Butler
The Switch has a single micro USB slot on the bottom. The "dock" is a station you plug the Switch into to connect it to the power cable, HDMI cables, some extra USB slots and some additional processing power all at once. The little plastic dock case holds all of that. You do need one for TV play since that's how it connects to the input device.
Alright buddy this is the easiest way to cheat in life. It's really tough but I'm sure you can handle it.

They call it a "next generation" Switch. Looks like Nintendo is going the Apple route.
Gavin Torres
>The reason appears to specifically be with getting the Nintendo Switch operating system running on this new hardware and an issue with power consumption.
So they have to be using the Tegra X2 if that's the case, correct?
Lucas Powell
Nikkei called it a next generation Switch.
Levi Diaz
How the fuck can it be delayed if no one knows about it let alone when it's going to be released?
Levi Price
They're not using a chip made for cars.
Nicholas Brown
Most likely. But isn't Tegra X2 pretty much identical to X1?
Evan James

Dude, probably until 2050 we'll something competitive from gamefreak according to this gen standards.

Ryder Bennett

Camden Moore
>hate what they stand for If you don't have a woman who'll stand with you, look somewhere else I always wait for the 2.0 or Pro or whatever version of the console, kinda tired of being sold something, then a year or two later, seeing a better version, late but worth it depending on the shit
Yet Nintendo is doing it around the same 2-3 year mark that Apple does.

My guesses: >new Tegra chipset, more powerful and energy efficient, exactly the same as the Pro version >no HD rumble, detachable controllers or motion controls >can still dock, but you need to buy a new controller for docked play >redesigned dock, similar in appearance to the Wii U gamepad charger, won't fit in the old dock >$200 The Switch Pro will look like the current version, while offering the same hardware upgrade as the Mini, but with a better screen and more internal storage. The current Switch model will be discontinued.
Colton Cooper
My favourite thing about this rumor is how it has been around since before the switch launched and will keep getting "new info" every few weeks until any kind of revision happens, then everyone will shout "Heh, totally called it, I'm basically an industry insider" These "rumors" have no fucking basis aside from wild speculation, it wasn't delayed, it just doesn't fuckin exist yet and its going to keep getting "delayed" until its true
It's still in a transition phase. Unless all the cheap Chinese electronics on Amazon move to USB-C, it may still take a while. They are widely available though.
Jose Evans
Why does it say it will be produced by Foxconn? Don't Nintendo make their own hardware?
Ian Diaz
? Apple releases a new phone every year. Sometimes multiple models at the same time.
Jaxson Barnes
My favourite thing about this rumor is how people like you deny it exists until nintendo announces it.
It's not really speculation but a fact since Nikkei has never been wrong about Nintendo hardware.
Asher Russell
Nintendo designs it, and Foxconn produces it.
Chase Watson

Robert Sanchez

Xavier Murphy
Assembly is split between Foxconn and Hosiden.
John Morales
You're in denial.
Elijah Miller
Foxconn is one of the largest factories in the world, other companies design the stuff and give it to them to mass produce.
Would they really make their next generation Switch the same size as the Wii U gamepad? Wasn't that shit huge?
Evan Edwards
It wasn't that big
Kevin Murphy
IIRC this is an intentional software limitation, since Fortnite and Warframe both support voice chat though the headphone jack. This goes the same for the weird bluetooth headphones that Nintendo will allow to use with the the Switch. I think they will only allow like 1 Japanese brand, which is stupid because Sony makes sold by far the most headphones in Japan. Like does Nintendo not know that Sony even exist?
Colton Richardson
I mean they'll look similar in the way the joycons can be detached, not that will be exactly the same as the current model. I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo started adding shit like cameras and extra features to the more expensive model. Overall I don't think there's much to change from the current design, aside from adding a real dpad and maybe giving it analog triggers.
William Gonzalez
handhelds are consoles too you fucking mong.
Samuel Jackson
>Just make a mini dock and bundle a pro controller with it. Done. i hate to say it because i already bought the fucking thing but you're totally right

Matthew Morris
You're making a fool out of yourself. Handhelds aren't consoles.
Luis Cooper
That design isn't much different from the Wii U charger. In fact, it blows my fucking mind why Nintendo designed such a shitty dock in the first place, it's a waste of fucking plastic and has no real reason for being like that.
Cameron Clark
They are literally....LITERALLY called handheld consoles you fucking brainlet. What 3rd world ESL shithole are you from where this isn't the case?
Retailers also call them consoles, so good job on being wrong on multiple fronts.
Justin Martin
I cannot believe people don't believe WSJ. You kids do know who those people are, right? They're literal business analysts that get paid for factual information on future stock profits. These are the people that get paid more than most surgeons to varify and know their shit about businesses and their future products.
I've never bought a single console or handheld revision if I had already bought the original, honestly.
Gabriel Morales
So do i getva discount for the pro since i own the og switch
Justin Morris
there's no reason to believe they would ever get rid of the docking feature. Who ever thought that was the case? I'd understand not selling a dock with it and having fixed joycons (I'd love both of those things), but there's just no logical reason to ever think they'd remove the "switch" capability from the fucking nintendo switch. It's not like removing the 3D from the 3DS and selling the 2DS, it's removing the clock control for the system.
Alexander Johnson
Maybe at gamestop or ebgames
Josiah Nguyen
Yep. $50 off the Pro when you trade in your Switch.
business anons, explain where the mini fits in an ecosystem of 3 systems?
>OG model gets a price drop to around $250 >Pro model launches at $300-350 >mini revealed at $200 because it would be stupid to sell it for less as a consumer, you walk into the store and see all three. if you have money, you obviously go with the pro edition, it's going to be the definitive version moving forward. if you poor(lower income), you're now faced with choosing between a featureless model with better battery life and true portable, vs the original system that likely has the same specs but with features and only $50 more.
who buys the mini? the 2ds sold well because it was $100 under the 3ds.
Hopefully the mini doesnt have the fucking stick drift that all joycons are currently plagued with
Caleb Lopez
I'd buy it at $175 I know they won't do it, but why do you think selling it under $200 is stupid?
Josiah Scott
Based and redpilled.
Easton Watson
OG will stay the same teeny weenie will be like 229 (lol) Phats will be 350 or 400 with a game

component cost is still relatively expensive for the switch. I can't imagine a $149 tag this soon, especially when their 3ds is still selling for $149.

Landon Perez

Adam Gonzalez
But then you can't play 2 player Smash with friends on the go.
Samuel Young
How do we know it won't have a new redesigned dock (probably bought separately) for the ability to use pro controllers Just because it has a new priority for functions doesn't mean it will omit them entirely
Dylan Butler
removing the joy cons is something so retarded i'm not surprised Yea Forums is approving it one of the main switch gimmick is the local multiplayer everywhere thanks to the 2 joycons you carry all the time, they also want to sell you MORE expensive 70$ joycons, removing them makes absolute not sense also reducing the size of the whole table will only fuck battery life further, the only way to do it without a lot of compromises would be to use the smaller die size Tegra X2 to save on power and also get better battery life but at that would defeat the purpose of a low cost smaller switch since new hardware is more expensive and Tegra X2 has never been used in anything besides smart cars you all will get a switch just like the current one with shittier display and 16gb of storage and you will like it
Josiah King

Benjamin Gonzalez
wasn't the Wii mini a thing for canada only? the 3DS got real complains from people suggesting that the 3D effect could develop a lazy eye on children and many other shit, the feature was used by anyone so of course they removed it Switch joycons however are different, AGAIN, theyre selling these shits for 70$ a pair, they WANT to keep selling them

Andrew Evans
>The reason appears to specifically be with getting the Nintendo Switch operating system running on this new hardware and an issue with power consumption. While them focusing on these optimizations is likely true. It honestly wouldn't surprise me if there is simply a simple underlying reason such as them aiming to expand their install base as widely as possible with the cheap version first. Before the Playstation and before the next Xbox. Only so that they can release the more powerful version after the next Playstation and Xbox. And make adjustments accordingly.
To expand the market before the competition. And then challenge the competition after the competition.
Xavier Hughes
I know you're right. But fuck, I really wanted to get in on the action by now

>While it's reportedly designed for portable outdoor use, the report also suggests that it will be dockable and playable on the TV. I wonder where the cost savings are coming from. I guess all they're taking out is the dock and some joycon components. Maybe the screen will be slightly cheaper?
In any case I can't really see a price reduction of more than $50.

Leo Gomez
Nintendo has been profitable with this shit since day 1. It's been over two years since launch now. They can sell it as is for $200 and still make a profit.
Brandon Rogers
Yes, all of the big 3 were profitable from day 1 this gen, nobody wants to be a loss leader any more.
You think they've managed a 33% price reduction in two years? That seems rather optimistic to me.
Elijah Ortiz
>can still dock it
so it's a literal upgrade? fucking niggers
Zachary Peterson
PS4 and Xbone were both price dropped by now. And Sony certainly didn't lose money dropping to $300 after two years.
But we know how Nintendo works with profit margins. They'd rather sacrifice sales than "devalue" their systems.
Hunter Ramirez

>And Sony certainly didn't lose money dropping to $300 after two years. ? They dropped to $350 after 2 years. They didn't hit $300 until late 2016 with the PS4 slim.
Judging by typical patterns in price drops I think it's pretty reasonable to expect a $50 Switch drop this spring or summer. Probably timed during one of the slower months.
Christian Johnson
that's almost perfectly designed, but it needs some controller-like grips.

If mini is shittier in every way but size then probably gonna wait for pro then hack my original Switch. If it's on par for the most part then probably gonna get one to hack.

They're called handheld video games consoles because they're a certain kind of video game console that is held with hands, but because that's a long and cumbersome term to say, people call them handhelds for short
There are also other kinds of video game consoles, and what one might typically associate with video game consoles is called the home video game console, or simply console for short since it's the kind that came before the handhelds
I'm a lifelong Sonyfag but I'm interested in a Switch for Breath of the Wild, I want a revision that stretches out the screen to use all of the black border and would never even dock the thing just play it in bed.
This reminds me how much I want a d-pad joycon (an official Nintendo one not some janky mod)

this is a weird thing because Switch DOES in fact have the typical Voice Chat support, but they want to try and promote their shitty app, so their first party games are stupidly convoluted while third party games are simple and straight foward

Because every time I try to use it it'z a confusing as fuck setup and then it's a total buggy mess? The vita repository was literally broke for like a year They finally released an official build and then a "bugfix" for hakchi and it's completely busted and way worse than older now removed builds, even though they hyped it up as being stable And when I went to install it to my switch last, there just wasn't anywhere to get the xci version, or the cores for even the nca version. I was told to use the online updater but I refuse to turn wifi on my switch as I have no way of setting a dns up and I dont even trust the dns, I want to use my switch for online someday

The OG switch is an on old orphan process. My guess is they drop it and going forward there are two models: a Pro with the same profile as the original just it runs the old docked profile portable and adds a new higher-performance docked mode, and a Mini that only supports the OG portable mode, the latter being passively cooled.

>confusing as fuck setup You literally just select which cores you want, and then each core has it's own options. No idea why people have so much trouble with this
It's also the only way to remove all of the inherent input delay that comes with emulation. It's impossible to go back to standalone emulators after runahead and frame delay completely change the experience
Hunter Walker
Because it won't have the detachable joycons (cutting a huge amount of cost/complexity) and will be passively cooled (cutting more cost/complexity).
Bentley Torres
waiting for the pro

The OG Switch, if you have a hackable one, takes really well to overclocking. You can have it now essentially.

>The joycons are a gimmick. Joycons are only a gimmick if you don't have friends, which is probably why most of Yea Forums hates them.
Samuel Stewart
I'd much, much rather have single system emulators that fucking WORK and only have straightforward necessary options that just fucking WORK than the bloated mess of Rdtroarch, where it's always a fucking gamble if things will work or not. I never had any issue with nesterDS. I never had a single issue with snes9x on my Wii. But guess what I constantly get trying to use retroarch on any fucking system? When your own stables are unfunctioning piles of crap that you claim work great you can die in a house fire, fuck you.

I have friends and we just use pro controllers. The joycons have only been used for Mario Party, and we only played Mario Party once because it was awful
I would trade the joycons entirely if it meant having a decent dpad and grip
Julian Allen
but the joycons are trash, and the stand straches the screen
Jonathan Lee
well not everyone is retarded user but you do you. no worries
Charles Morales
Will likely be the same as the Pro. They won't change the shape at all to maintain Labo compatibility.
Julian Miller
The 'pro' version is going to use joycons too user so I wouldn't get my hopes up there
Dylan Jackson
then I'll wait for the pro mini
Ayden Ward
Yes. When it gets hacked it will be the ultimate portable emulation machine
Elijah Collins
The X2 is a minor touchup to the X1 and its Jetson devkit runs the same software from the get-go. It must be something truly unique to both Nintendo and Nvidia (and quite beefier too) if its giving them power draw and OS issues. At this point I'm willing to bet they're transitioning to 7nm to make it work.
Jayden Lee
Android is irrelevant in Japan and have rampant piracy, Nintendo would beber launch games on it
Oliver Walker
I love this so much
Carter Rogers
fucking nintentard,there will be a switch "pro" and no,Nintendo isn't consumer friendly,enjoy your 60 dollars remake and 70 dollars games
Jonathan Gutierrez
I just hope the new switch has a glass screen. I'll buy one if it does.
1. Why do people think this cheaper model will be smaller? 2. Why do people think they'd do something as retarded as to make the joycons non-detachable?
Camden Miller
>a glass screen Why? For as long as you've got a screenprotector, it's unironically uperior to a glass screen. Glass screens are only superior if you for whatever the reason never bother with a protector. Otherwise glass screens are just a liability in addition to being more expensive.
Andrew Roberts
>Just make a mini dock and bundle a pro controller with it. Done.
No way they do that bundle since it would push the price point above the base model. The point of a mini system is to sell to both the budget and portable demographics.
Leo Johnson
They designed it that way just so you could do the simultaneous joy can lock in and to make it less prone to break when kids change from docked to handheld
Chase Carter
Does switch have a good button? I have never play them yet and planning to buy them when animal crossing is out. I have a vita and psp for reference.
Julian Sanders
>Everyone already has a usbc cable. Don't you need a specific kind of USB-C cable? Which is why you can't use any generic dock to output as well?
Asher Kelly
>people are shitposting over something that we don’t know exist
Reminder that we have been hearing about revisions coming since late 2017
When will you fuckers ever learn
Elijah Williams
So you can plug in one of those three ringed headphone jacks and it works?
Jose Cook
While I think the bulky dock looks retarded and would prefer a smaller one, seeing the way my niece and nephew handle their Switches lead me to believe the smaller one would lead to it breaking the connector very quickly.
Owen Bennett
You think they'd remodel the joycons?
Noah Kelly
Doesn't the fact that they're still pushing Labo confirm undockable Joycons in general?
