Will the rumored Switch Pro release next year?

[Deleted member 1839]

Just wanted to make this topic since it's been mentioned a lot recently. The "Pro" version of the Switch has been anticipated, speculated and rumored to release sometime next year, based on what some known "insiders" have said. Though I don't think there's an equivalent of WSJ saying that a new switch model is coming 2021 one like how they did for 2019 and that was for the Switch Lite. I think there was some production rumors as well but don't quote me on that as I'm not too sure on that.


What do you think ?

Probably, but I'm hoping they do something Nintendo-ish and make a wearable Switch watch with a 2 inch screen or something equally left field.

It exists, and it'll release next year.

 

[Homura]

Yes but it won't have any exclusive games.

Yeah next year or not at all. Unless COVID really messed things up I'm pretty sure we will get some sort of revision next year. It's a great way to sell more consoles to those who already own one. It could be anything from a simple revision to a Series X/PS4 Pro like revision.

I hope so, because otherwise it'll be extremely wierd if Nintendo let the back half of 2020 be this barren of new first party software for no larger strategic reason.

It will launch whenever BotW 2 launches.

Didn't Capcom come out and say that there was no way a Switch pro was coming?

I'm skeptical of the existence of a Switch Pro. Every Switch Pro rumour has turned out to be false, and I don't think Nintendo would risk diluting/confusing the brand when they're doing so well. I think this is a lesson they learned the hard way.

I've seen people mentioned this but how?

Wouldn't PS4 Pro and Xbox One X be included if that was the case?

You think Capcom would say so if they knew about a Pro model ? Come on.

They of course wouldn't mention it if it existed. It just seems weird to go out of the way to compromise their integrity/brand with a lie.

We don't need a 'speculation about a rumour' thread.
