Honestly, the most likely scenario here is that E3 is expensive, and Nintendo, along with Sony and Microsoft, realized they can do what they do at E3 on their own time and spend a butt ton less money.
I felt very burned with the lack of any classic 3D Zeldas like Majora's Mask or Wind Waker re-releasing on Switch. that's the big thing I was really hoping for...
But Monster Hunter Stories 2 is looking better and better, other than games that weren't at all shown or talked about today (Samurai Warriors 5, Ys IX, Pokemon Shining Pearl). There's a few that are exciting, but the E3 presentation felt really weak.
@HalBailman Let me be crystal clear here, I haven't said anything but "be careful who you trust."
I'm sure there will be an upgraded model, at some point, but I doubt it will be this year. Nintendo's president has iterated on numerous occasions, particularly recently, that there aren't any plans for a "Switch Pro" anytime soon, which, reading between the lines, tells me we're looking at another year out at the earliest.
But, like any other human, I could be wrong. I'm just as fallible as the next guy.
C'mon, guys, we've been over this literally since the Switch was first released. We've seen rumors of a "Switch Pro" circulate every year, leading up to E3, then they die down for a while, then come back around in November as Nintendo is prepping to enter into Q4 of their fiscal year. The only time SOMETHING was right was when Bloomberg reported BOTH a Switch Pro and a Switch Mini, but that was literally playing both cards so they COULDN'T be wrong except for maybe timing.
With these rumors, we need to also be aware of where they are coming from. Emily Rogers has been wrong 8/10 times, Tim Grubbin has been right 8/10 times, yet we all listen to Emily, not Tim. Tim hasn't said a word about this, so I'm inclined to call BS till Nintendo officially confirms anything.

Just to correct my earlier comment slightly, Jeff Grubb is the guys name. No idea where Tim Grubbin came from...
