Rumors: Switch Pro was real but canceled, says Digital Foundry
the Change Pro Not too long ago it was widely rumored to be a mid-generation update to the current Switch console, which launched in 2017.
Reports suggested that Nintendo was planning to release a more powerful version with an improved screen, but despite multiple sources apparently confirming this, including developers who were apparently told, there is no Switch Pro and the arrival of an OLED edition seemed to indicate that another hardware update wouldn’t be on the way for a while.
Now, the group behind Digital Foundry says the system was in Nintendo’s plans at one point, but was ultimately scrapped. Currently, there are no plans to release a more powerful version of the Switch before its successor arrives.
This rumor has been confirmed to Digital Foundry by more than one anonymous developer.
As for Nintendo’s next console, Digital Foundry says we shouldn’t expect to see it next year.
Digital Foundry also speculates that Nintendo is “scared” of moving from the Switch to its next system. It’s a reasonable assumption, given that Nintendo has gone from thriving (with Wii) to thriving (with Wii U) and back again with Switch, but you’d think the company would be smart enough to stick with the hybrid approach, given that it’s proven to be the case. effective, it is really in its position. But who knows?
