Nintendo Has "No Plans" To Announce New Hardware At E3

So... Nintendo Switch Lite ??
And PLEASE White / Blue Color for newest Nintendo Switch models !

At the rate it’s selling at this point, they would be crazy to introduce another SKU and divide the player base. Hold off on that until sales slow down.

And the madness continues with wish lists, theories, predictions, and rumors.

Means nothing really. In other words "We don't want our E3 plans blown ahead of time."

Except for the time Nintendo of Japan casually announced the 3DS months ahead of NoA's planned E3 revealed. And a week before the US launch of the DSi, ruining that too.

Well, I would expect a launch in June to be announced in May. As E3 is not in May that's not where the announcement will be made

They don't generally announce new hardware revisions at E3, do they? IF the rumors are true, I'd expect them to just randomly drop the news, or put it in a Direct. There's precedent for both approaches.

They're also not going to confirm its existence beforehand, because announcing new hardware is going to depress sales for the current model to some extent.

"We have no plans"........Those are the key 4 words. He didn't say that they would not announce new hardware at E3. He merely said that at present, there are no plans. Normally that phrase is code for saying that we do not want to disclose our future plans right now.

That's fine. If it's coming, I'd rather it be revealed in its own Direct instead. That just means E3 has more room for more games!

I’ve been telling my iPad screen all along: it’s gonna probably play out just like 3DS XL. Announced AFTER E3 end of June 2012, released in Japan end of following July. Miyamoto even lied about it! Nintendo may surprise but they also have their patterns!

I'm totally happy with my Switch and can't afford a new one just yet anyway. That said, I can't wait to see a new beefier model.

Here’s Miyamoto’s rumor misdirect back then:

https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2012/06/miyamoto_talks_down_idea_of_3ds_redesign

I feel like history’s repeating!

That’s very specific wording singling out E3. I wouldn’t put it past them to make an announcement, or a have direct, prior to ( or every after ) E3. Would love a more portable Switch.

So the bs might just be bs? Shocking!

"“But we have no plans to announce that at this year’s E3 in June.”"

Between the "no plans" and the "at E3" there are at least a dozen ways for us to be playing on a new Switch in June.

Nintendo does what Nintendo don't say.

Do we need another model? Switch is selling well and any update or new model now would be unnecessary and confusing. A more powerful model risks splitting the player base and any new size would be an issue for joycon, labo etc.

Down the line perhaps, but no need for it now.

They do not need a New Switch. They just need better games for the one we already have.

SMASH basically saved FY 2018 report single handed. Just invest that money in Releasing more big games each quarter.

Why they not even mentioning last quarterly report - but just lumping it all in FY18. If they not had Last 3 months of crap release they would have not missed expectations by over a 100 million dollars and the stock would not had tanked 5% this morning already.

Release big games each quarter.

So either 1. The rumors are truly just that, 2. This comment is just a red herring, or 3. There will be no hardware announcements at E3. That doesn't eliminate any potential Nintendo Directs or press releases.

@Ooccoo_Jr people were saying the very same comments as this in that link I just posted! Lol.

I wouldn't expect reveals at E3 anyway, if that June Switch Mini rumour is true I'd guess a reveal before mid-May (maybe even today if you go by New 2DS XL reveal standards).

To be honest, thats exactly what I figured. It would be dumb to announce a cheaper version at E3, because people on the fence would pre-order the cheaper version, instead of getting the version that makes them the most money as soon as possible.

Sales are good at the moment so it’s possible it wouldn’t make great business sense to release a new model yet maybe when things start to slow down

You know what would be a great announcement... New Joycons that have been designed to not have Drifting Issues!!!

I hate all the rumor reporting but I suppose if it gets the clicks this site will post about it.

If they do release new hardware it would be told to consumers months ahead of time so they could preorder them. I wouldn’t go as far to say that Bloomberg is all clickbait and they are in general not doing their job, but the rumor always seemed suspect.

Like many of you, I'm okay with them not announcing a new version of the Switch. If they focus exclusively on upcoming Switch games, E3 should be good.

No plans to announce new hardware at e3 because they're announcing new hardware in may.

A cheaper handheld Switch to take advantage of Pokémon, Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing would be prudent. Even DQXI let's you switch to a more retro aesthetic. Wouldn't cannibalise the existing Switch, and open up a more broader user base. Like some have said already around these parts, a pro when sales are so healthy seems a tad unnecessary (unless they have Resident Evil 2 and DMC5 running on it, then I'm all for it lol)

I'd admittedly find it hilarious if this Switch Mini talk turns out to be nothing more than a rumor. If it was really coming out in less than two months, manufacturing should have leaked it by now.

Nintendo lied.

From experience when Bloomberg, Nikkei and Wall Street Journal reported the same thing, it always turn out to be the truth. If it's coming out in Summer, it would have to be in production already. These publications paid factory workers in China for the info.

Nintendo has done this before.

Let's take the 3DS XL for an example. Lots of rumors were flying in the press in early June of 2012, but Nintendo announces that it's speculation. Then in mid June after E3 had came and went with no announcement, Miyamoto told IGN that he was satisfied with the current 3DS and didn't think there would be revisions done. Then on June 21st, the 3DS XL was officially announced in a Nintendo Direct broadcast.

Or how about the DS Lite. Nintendo shoots it down in early January of 2006 by stating they have no plans for a DS revision, and then announces it at the end of the month.

Frankly, if they're bothering to address the speculation, I believe it's happening. Nintendo doesn't bother addressing unfounded speculation.

When Nintendo does it (and they will), it will be a completely random time.

I think some insider got confused by Nintendo's ongoing hardware development efforts.

Remember at an E3 where Nintendo were asked if there was any plan for a 3DS revision?,Nintendo stated there were no plans to introduce a different model....Then a week later the president of Nintendo Europe was pictures standing in a distribution center with tonnes of 3DS XL consoles behind him.

Never trust what Nintendo say as they only reveal hardware when they are good and ready.

@Agramonte Mario Maker 2 is coming in June, that will sell lots of Switch for sure.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HuCEcxXEmk&t=1s

It's funny how people don't seem to know how to read in english, let's see if they can hear in Spanish NINTENDO WON'T RELEASE A REVISION ANYTIME SOON. The president word is the one you should take in account, not some stupid that changes the "release date" every week.

@johnvboy So, you're saying we should trust rumors that change every week instead of the words of the president of Nintendo? In what world you live in?

@thesilverbrick i invite you to see reference points: DS and 3DS.

@Edu23XWiiU what exactly has changed in regards to the rumors?

@hihelloitsme I guess I should clarify. If the rumored new Switch is a simple hardware revision just in terms of aesthetics, then I’m all for it. But if it’s a “pro” model with its own exclusive line of games that can’t play on older Switches, it will likely cause confusion and frustration.

@hihelloitsme That they're rumors, nothing real. Oh, and also, Nintendo Life, when are you going to publish an apology for all the clickbait crap you publish every week?

I still firmly believe the Switch Mini exists, but this guarantees that it will be a H2 2019 release. Bloomberg's report stating that it would launch in late June seems to be off.

@Agramonte I think it depends on what you consider to be a big game. For Nintendo, Pokémon/Animal Crossing/Mario Maker are Heavy Hitters and sale well.

And for those games, Pokémon especially, the Mini is needed more than a “Big Game”. A kid proof mini for those 2DS families would be welcome.

@thesilverbrick Why would it do that when both pro versions of xbox one and PS4 don't have any exclusives?

I just want (official) atomic purple joycons.

I just want a release date and more gameplay footage of luigis mansion 3

He seems more straightforward than Reggie who would had answered with a riddle. Anyway, Nintendo don't say the truth usually. They can always announce it right before or right after E3 and he wouldn't be lying, technically.

Suuuuuure, Jan.

@idrawrobots The New 3DS had exclusives, and they all sold pretty poorly, and it caused confusion with some consumers.

@thesilverbrick I know. Still happy with my 3DS Xenoblade. I don't think that Nintendo will make the same mistake they did with the DSi and the New 3DS. And since I mentioned the New 3DS. If they call this thing a New Switch I will be livid.

The switch lite seems like a waste if the joycons are fixed...how can they fix the drifting? i have to buy 10 new switch lites...ill pass either way.

Uh, when's the last time they actually announced something at E3? They've been announcing things in their E3 week Directs... but they haven't been at E3 for years now.

Rumor-mongers: "Where is the new hardware, we know it's real!? Why won't Nintendo respond??"
Nintendo: "Our current stuff is selling gangbusters, we're not planning to announce new stuff at E3"
Rumor-mongers: "...You can't believe Nintendo!! Here's some reasons why..."

That's the summation of every article and comment section regarding this stupid 'rumored' revision for the past 8 months.

@AlohaPizzaJack nailed it. YouTube is going to be flooded with that sort of crap over the next few days. SpunkWave, Super SaltyDave, etc etc.

So there is a new switch in the works then
“But we have no plans to announce that at this year’s E3 in June.”

Nintendo Life, you keep on publishing articles that are not newsworthy. They said no plans. Quit making articles with no substance. There are so many games coming these weeks. Make some articles about them. Go to the developers' offices and interview them. You are becoming little by little "The Sun" of video game journalism.

It's currently selling very well, there is no need. However, I believe the "lite" model is all but ready. It's just a case of timing it right. Perhaps they will make and build up a decent inventory of the new lite model to launch alongside the new Animal Crossing game. Can you imagine the sales then !!!!!!!!

@Edu23XWiiU

No I do not recall saying anything like that,I just suggested it would not be the first time Nintendo had said one thing only to do something totally different.

As for trusting rumor's these fall into two types,one are just pure rubbish made up to appeal to fans,the others tend to be controlled information leaks by companies to create hype for a console or game.

Plus the fact these Switch rumors have a lot more weight to them than your average leak,just like the initial Eurogamer Switch leak,that conveniently surfaced after Nintendo's stocks have taken a hit when an executive at Nintendo told investors to calm down over their excitement over "Pokemon Go",saying it was not a Nintendo developed game.

I hope the "switch lite" rumors just turn into them releasing it without the dock in the US.

...But Switch Pro when?

@idrawrobots Haha, right? Throwing “New” as a prefix onto a hardware revision or game only starts to look more ridiculous as the system or game ages. “New” Super Mario Bros on DS is now 13 years old, haha. Not to mention someone sounds ridiculous inquiring about a “used New Nintendo 3DS” at a store that sells used consoles.

Ha! In your face, Bloomberg. Read my lips:
THERE IS NO NEW SWITCH PLANNED.

@AlohaPizzaJack Your comment has way... too... few... likes...

It's so true. Just because of previous examples, companies will obviously always spout the same lies, changes in management and behavior be damned. No, the outsiders know it best.

Any budding psychologist could have a field day with this kind of behavior...

@WiltonRoots SpawnWave is kinda okay, though. Relaxed, level-headed guy that never loses his cool, unlike our friend Dave...

To be honest, I’m hoping they’ll hold off on announcing the Switch mini/lite until 2020 - simply because I’ve been waiting with baited breath for an Animal Crossing Switch bundle to be announced alongside with the game. I’m planning on buying a second Switch when AC comes out (since my significant other pilfers mine way too often as it is, and would be at serious risk of being bitten if he tried to take it off me while I’m in full fishing/bug-catching/bell-hoarding craze), and I would be really disappointed if they ended up releasing the themed bundle with a smaller/inferior console. XD

This isn’t so much of a rumor as it’s an unconfirmed report because of the business sources. It’s a different category. And yes, investors want to buy stock as soon as those sources can report anything, not on the day Nintendo makes it known to everyone, there’s a strategy there, you see

If I was running Nintendo, I wouldn’t announce a hardware revision until year 3 is up. By then most day one adopters will have a beat up, scratched, scummy Switch and the temptation of a nice new shiny one that’s 10-20% more snazzy will make people happy and not feel like their console is outdated already.

But then I don’t run Nintendo

@ThanosReXXX yep Spawn’s okay, he’s very enthusiastic to be fair...he looks like he’s about 4ft tall. He does seem to have a new show about 4 times a day. 😃

That 3DS example referred to above doesn't stand up. Miyamoto never denied an XL, just said satisfied with current hardware, and all the XL was was a slightly larger version of the same thing.

Honestly, this isn't surprising. E3 hasn't really been the place to do hardware reveals lately since the big 3 are preferring to do their own events

@Tyranexx i'm starting to suspect option 1 again myself. Especially with how specific they were in singling out the subject of new hardware rather than talking in more generic terms.
After all it's been shown the current Switch is still very capable of moving new units with the proper games. In 2018 this was Smash Bros selling massive amount of new console by it's lone self landing right into the crucial holidays period.

This year it'll be very likely be Pokemon and that's in a year with a lot of crucial games releasing.
Even if it doesn't sell much in the USA, the Switch port of DQXI -will- be selling appreciable amounts of new Switches in Japan itself to make it worth it while being another major RPG for the console everywhere else.

And the popularity of Mario Maker that was achieved even on the beleaguered WiiU makes me feel it'll really be a game whose sequel in Switch this coming June shouldn't be underestimated.

Then stuff like Astral Chains, Fire Emblems or even Daemon X Machina and others have the potential of being solid releases themselves that could further bolster the console.

I felt a new console might be coming with the latest update allowing save transfer but one of Nintendo's goal was achieving multiple consoles per household. The recent update might just means they're starting to achieve exactly that even with the current model, in which case it makes sense for the household member who just bought a Switch of their own to be able to import their saves from the household original Switch console they played on until getting their own.

A new console may indeed be coming but there's plenty of reasons to believe Nintendo is also indeed in no urgency to introduce one right away.

IF they have a new Switch lite to release I would bet it would release in November alongside the new Pokémon.

Literally have had people dog me out because I said Nintendo had no plans on making a new switch or switch lite. That would be just stupid. Once again I've been proven right. So stop it with the fake reports please.

What I want to be revealed in a near future are :

• Super Mario Galaxy HD Collection
• Metroid Prime Trilogy HD Collection

I don't care about a Switch Lite. Bring.games.now. Next game I'll buy is Astral Chain at the end of august..

Of course not.

2 years in and we all got carried away with nonsense ideas. A 'lite' may happen in the next 12 months. A 'pro' will not happen for at least 2 more years.

Nintendo is still making the mini and the pro model, it just isn't the time to announce them yet. Unlike most companies that rush product to market, Nintendo is known for releasing quality product so this is true to their standard. I say they saved the announcement for later in the year and launch the mini along with the pro early next year on the Switch's third anniversary.

@thesilverbrick How would another sku divide the userbase?

It's just another option that may entice more towards Nintendo.

Look at PS4 Pro and Xbox one X. There is no division, however gamers who want higher resolutions, graphical features have an option regardless of what haters think. Pro and X are about expanding business and enhancing sales. Come to think of it, everything in tech have multiple variants with no detriment.

It seems fairly safe to presume that the Switch Lite or whatever they're going to call it will be out by the time Pokémon Sword & Shield hit market, so if it's not being announced at E3 then Nintendo must be planning a Direct for the unveiling. Either that or they're simply not telling the truth, it wouldn't be the first time.

@link3710 all that'll be announced is a bundle without a dock. No "switch-mini".

@WiltonRoots What would you do, if you'd see the paycheck YouTube offers you to do that?

If you were faced with millions in lost sales between now and then, wouldn't you lie?

@thesilverbrick I'd imagine the eventual Pro model will be more inline with the PS4 Pro, in that, all games are supported across both platforms with a few graphical/performance adjustments.

@gcunit Unfortunately, your sound logic will be buried by even more clueless/conspiracy theorist comments...

@brunojenso 2 years in feel too early to be honest. A revision within the next 12 months? Perhaps but anything more than that feels unlikely.

Like an analyst see the lower numbers of Switch shipped to retailers versus the demand that remains strong in terms of consoles sold as a sign nintendo is somehow scaling back production to prepare the arrival of a new model and ...

Maybe it is?
But maybe after the days of the WiiU where they produced too much consoles vs what actually got sold, and after the early days of the Switch when there was not enough consoles to meet the demand...

... maybe it's just sign that Nintendo just found the right balance of unit produced VS sales to make sure they can meet the demand for their console without "overproducing" too many units that would end up amassing dust.

I mean these folks are still in the business of making money and part of that ois avoiding losses such as wasted overproduction.
Thus a way to avoid that loss is making sure you're indeed not producing too much stuff either because of you do all it might show is producing stuff without being certain it'll sell yet in appreciable enough numbers.

So all it might indeed show is perhaps just Nintendo achieving the balance of production VS actual sales they are certain will limit the possibility of unsold units(like the era of the WiiU) versus still being able to supply sales and demand.

WiiU era they oversupplied.

Early Switch release they under supplied.

These numbers might only show they finally got it just right.

Pre-E3 Hardware Direct confirmed.

@Edu23XWiiU I don't follow. So, the fact that they are "rumors" is what has changed? What exactly about the rumors has changed? You seem pretty upset over all of this.

Are you sure you aren't just angry at the prospects of them actually being true? Did you day 1 buy a Switch and would feel slighted if the rumors became true?

I’ve no idea why so many people are so upset about the possibility of a new, additional, Switch model. Bearing in mind the dwindling 3DS sales, it makes sense to have a new SKU to cater for that market.

@liveswired I followed up on my original comment in another post on this thread. I’m concerned they may make some games exclusive to the “New” Switch, like they did with the New 3DS XL.

It will come but there is no need to rush. Switch can stand on its own and will for years yet. Chill your beans.

The only announcement I wish they'd get around to making at the moment is Mario Maker 2 as something a little less vague than "June 2019". Don't they almost always give the exact date at least a month ahead?

So, yeah... WHEN?

@Edu23XWiiU I think you’ve had enough internet for today, buddy. It’s probably time for your nap.

It will be announced days before E3

@hihelloitsme Because you and most people on this site (specially this site and all gaming websites)want to give leverage to rumors instead of actual news, with facts, and all these rumors want to do is affect the sales of the Switch. Yes, I got my Switch a month after launch, and quite honestly, I won't feel bad for a Switch "Mini" since, according to all the rumors, would make the console worse. Nintendo will not release a revision like that, since the Switch is selling everytime better and better.

@johnvboy Where is the weight on these rumors? They change the release date of the supposed revised Switch every week.

@luke88 Hahaha why don't you flush your head down the toilet? Since your head is full of crap.

Nintendo often reveals things like this after E3 like the New 3DS or the 2DS...

@ThanosReXXX Good question, is he in the full-time Youtuber bracket these days? With my line of work I'm pretty mentally drained by the time I get home, the last thing on my mind would be to set up and record anything, I'm happier with my feet up, a nice meal and laughing at the bloodbaths in the comment sections after.

@thesilverbrick What is this "divide the player base" nonsense I always hear about? The Switch Lite everyone is talking about would play all the same games. What about that would divide the player base?

I tend to agree that the Switch is selling well and there is no need to release a revision just yet, but I don't see how having a cheaper, more durable and child friendly model would be a bad thing.

Good.

The thing isn't old enough for a new version. It would just cheapen everyone's purchase of the original if they announced a pro version. It would erode trust in the platform. People have to realize that not everyone jumped in on launch day. Some of us just bought one.

Could care less about the lower end one. Though it is a nice idea for kids and families. The switch is the most expensive gaming system on the market. Which I find hilarious because it's also the weakest and has the worst library. Pretty hard to justify 500 bucks for a system that's no more powerful than last gen for a child or toddler. Even more so since the games targeted at children like yoshi are overpriced.

This is the hardware, api and specs they wanted to launch with and it's already overpriced for what it is. Time to own it and improve what's there.

Even hinting at a pro version is insulting. Because we know how Nintendo does business. They'll release a version with all the missing features that should have been there in 2017 and then ask even more for it.

Would i like a real console from Nintendo for once? Absolutely. But not 3 months after I settled for their current weak offerings.

I love Nintendo, but they will straight up lie to protect a secret. Not convinced they won’t be showing new hardware at E3.

@Ludovsky It's hard to say at this point. I try not to put much stock into rumors, but I at least suspect a more affordable version of the Switch may be coming. It would make more sense than a major hardware revision IMO.

I suspect door #1, but door #3 has some appeal in my mind.

@Heavyarms55 This is the third time I’ve had to explain myself, haha. I’m referring to Nintendo potentially doing what they did with the New 3DS. Making an incrementally more powerful console with its own selection of exclusive games that don’t play on older models. Doing that divides the player base and just serves to confuse consumers and punish recent adopters of the old model. That, and those exclusive titles never end up selling well. I’m hoping they don’t make the same mistake with a potential Switch Pro.

@thesilverbrick Sorry, I suppose I should have skimmed through the comments.

I feel like they should be able to make games that can take advantage of the greater power of a Switch Pro but do not require it. I am no programmer, but haven't PC games been doing just that for literally decades?

So in other words the new model was Fake News all along. The reason for the Switch Mini’s existence was supposed to be that it would be more affordable to younger/casual players and children (while still apparently having all of the same features as the standard Switch). This does nothing about the problem that (unlike 3DS games) Switch games are $80 each and almost never go on sale. N64 Mini and Star Fox Grand Prix all over again!

@mousieone @Edu23XWiiU I was talking about Q4 (jan-March). If they would have packed animal crossing, a new pokemon and Mario maker it would have made a big difference.

Those will sell tons and move hardware for sure

@Itzdmo i’d trade it in if I was you man, you sound very disappointed.

I’d also like to ask, what child or toddler gives a damn about a console’s power?

We'll see. Personally I hope they just spend all their time on new games instead of a Switch-revision.

@Edu23XWiiU,

Let's just wait and see what happens,a Swich mini has been rumored for quite a while now,but to be honest I care little either way,and as I said before my initial comment was that it would not be the first time Nintendo had said one thing but done another.

@WiltonRoots I do believe he still maintains a normal job, but by now, at the rate he's going, he doesn't have anything to worry about, once he stumbles upon a rainy day...

Mind you, I totally agree with what you just summed up, but if I somehow come up with a REALLY great idea, then I might just be persuaded to make YouTube part of my pension plan as well...

I'd probably do an Arlo, though. Or a Mizza T. Not about to show my noggin on internet TV. Keep the Mad Titan mystery going, and all that...

@ThanosReXXX Maybe just have a channel where I laugh at comment sections while getting drunk. I could do that quite easily.

"Can you believe these neckbeards are crying and won't buy this game because there's a 2 second frame drop in a 75 hour game? And because the ambient occlusion's a bit off? While people are sleeping rough on the streets of our cities?"

@WiltonRoots Truthers aren't exactly liked on YouTube, so if you were entertaining any ideas of doing that, better be prepared for a truckload of dislikes and a sickening wave of insulting or downright hostile comments...

Neckbeards... LOVE that word. Forgot all about it, so points for mentioning it and making me laugh.

@ThanosReXXX Life's too short to cry about video games. Enjoy your weekend.

@WiltonRoots Indeed it is. A fine weekend to you as well, sir.

@johnvboy And the press keeps saying this will happen, EVERY WEEK. I prefer to trust the word of the PRESIDENT OF NINTENDO, than some anonymous posts.

@Edu23XWiiU,

Fair enough,but then you are totally dismissing history,a perfect example of this being the 3DS XL,which resembles the current Switch mini situation in such a way it's almost uncanny.

Nikkei stated before E3 2012 that Nintendo were due to release a revision of the 3DS which Nintendo later denied at that years E3 event,around a week later Nintendo announced the 3DS XL and the fact it was being released in a months time,so you can't always trust what a company says.

Of course another way of looking at this is that Nintendo have not said they are not producing a Switch mini,they have simply said they have no plans to show any new hardware at this years E3 event,Nintendo could announce the system revision in a direct or by other means.

@thesilverbrick

True,I feel that if and when Nintendo reveal a Switch pro it will work similar to the Ps4 Pro and Xbox One X,where software that runs on the normal console will just be enhanced on the pro version.

@johnvboy It's great that you're using the 3DS XL. That one made the console bigger, and it didn't lose any features whatsoever. The same can be said about the DS Lite: The screen size was the same, and the console was left intact, only making the design more slick. In the case of the supposed Switch "mini" the console would lose the joy-cons, the reason of its appeal, it's even on their logo.

@Edu23XWiiU,

I was using the circumstances in which the 3DS XL revision was denied by Nintendo,only to then announce it a week later.

@johnvboy Nintendo will announce something when they have something to announce, and whenever they want to announce it. And clearly, you know it won't make sense for Nintendo to release a revision of the Switch that will make it worse.

@Edu23XWiiU,

It would make sense for them to bring out a smaller version that's more child friendly,this would be great for the 3DS owners.

@johnvboy The Switch is already child friendly, and the main reason why they wouldn't release a revision, is because of Labo. Labo is aimed straight towards kids, and if they released a smaller "kid friendly" Switch, that would instantly make it incompatible with Labo, and that is just picking up steam with the recent VR kit.

@thesilverbrick I think they'll approach this more inline with Microsofts and Sony's X and Pro enhancements.

The New 3DS ended up being totally unused. Sure it had some exclusives and the SNES VC. But apart from Xenoblade, everything else was run of the mill featuring increased framerates (simply due to devs simply unlocking the framerate) with no actually effort to actually make use of the enhanced Quad core CPU with vastly increased clock speeds, increased RAM and GPU with doubled memory.

@Edu23XWiiU,

What were you saying that Nintendo would not release a Switch mini...er I mean light.

Told you it was coming.

@Edu23XWiiU,

Like I said before I want a Switch Pro version as much as you do,but that does not mean there will not be a massive market for this new device,and the reason it does not connect to a T.V is to be an addition to the Switch family rather than a replacement,3DS and Families will be all over this when Pokemon launches,and we will get our Switch pro version sometime next year.

@johnvboy I don't want a pro, I never said that, the current version of the Switch works incredibly well, and we're getting all the high tech games already. A pro will only make the current Switch model more affordable, and will still be the main product from Nintendo.
