今晚没有，别盲目期待..回复 D影舞D :实机产线开了还是在准备，目前没有更明确的消息，只是去年就知道有一台非oled型号的工程样机。

GraffitiMAX : Possibly a oled of spray 3 tonight

GraffitiMAX : I already said it in last month's post, I expect it to be announced in September

A... Pro? Hm, at this point in the gen, I'd have expected a switch 2.

[OrangeNova]

How many leakers have leaked a switch pro at various dates that has never come to fruition?

 

[Dest]

A Splatoon model OLED Switch is close to being the least shocking Nintendo news. I don't think it points to anything.

I am exhausted

This seems to be coming from a source in contact with factory workers who have leaked other aspects of Switch hardware before.

Unless I'm mistaken, the thread specifically said Drake

Wouldn't it make more sense to hear about switch pro development units being leaked in production than a switch pro retail unit?

The smoke started emitting even before the Switch launched. I'm tired of this "mid gen" bullshit. We don't need a "mid gen" console. We need developer who know how to use low end hardware and don't settle with "well, it kinda runs on the system, that's good enough for me!!!"

September is not far away....Kinda making me consider if I wanna play Xenoblade 3 now..hmmm

There is no substantive difference between these things other than marketing positioning.

 

[Mocha Joe]

For the sanity of Switch users, I hope this is true haha

 

[digitalrelic]

I still remember when the SWITCH PRO was IMMINENT like 2 years ago.

 

[Delaney]

When September comes and it's Switch Lite OLED released in November in time for Pokémon SV and Christmas lol

 

[Yerffej]

Needed.

If the thing is announced in September, it's probably not releasing until end of this year or early 2023. Do you really want to wait 6-9 months to play Xenoblade 3?

 

[SuperOctopus]

You're telling me that there could be a possibility of playing Bayonetta 3 with better resolution and framerate? :o

What's the difference between a Pro and a Switch 2 that is fully retrocompatible with everything + new games being available on both like PS4 and PS5 rn?

 

[Deleted member 93062]

I don't even know what to believe anymore but I just need a Switch 2/Pro.

 

[MouldyK]

But...

Figured I'd give an update here as my post got a lot of exposure. The same mod that leaked the reveal today just mentioned that they'd have to reconsider if what they heard about a new model later this year (I believe they mentioned September) is legit or not. However, they seem adamant that a new model is coming sooner than later

...so it's still up in the air...

Well it's a reveal of a new system, not necessarily a launch. Depending on if Nintendo treats it as a new model or a completely new system, the actual launch could be soon or further from the reveal

 

[T002 Tyrant]

My bet it's going to be called "Nintendo Switch 4K Model" (catchy!)

Because the original Switch will not be eventually phased out if it's a pro model.

 

[jaekeem]

If that's true then it's definitely dropping around or shortly before BOTW 2

LOL. Every Switch Pro "leak" is the same

They don't got the software for a Switch 2. They're still clearly devoting most of their energy to regular Switch stuff (BOTW 2 ect.) We'll know a 2 is coming when big Switch releases start to slow down, and right now, they're only speeding up.

 

[The Gold Hawk]

Ha. A Switch Pro you say? How silly.

There is no need for a Switch Pro.

I would very much like the Switch Pro

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

looks like, we all got off the wrong stop


ALL ABOARRDRERRRRD

 

[Mary Celeste]

I never want to hear the word Pro again

Devs have had kits for ages right? Bloomberg was wrong about the system materialising, but they had a few sources from big studios about that.

Waiting until things slow down was one of the mistakes Nintendo made with the Wii U.

You don't have to, the mods removed it from the title.

 

[Pancracio17]

I am setting up my alarm as we speak

Switch Pro/2/4k/360/One/Series X

A lot of the software for Switch 2 is probably going to be a flood of third party games that can finally run on Nintendo hardware without having to do miracle ports.

 

[giapel]

New switch model: Switch XL

 

[gabdeg]

I'd like to play Splatoon 3 at a proper resolution so I welcome it.

 

[parasite2]

This nevers ends right?

 

[Mashing]

So, since pro models have become a thing since last gen... I've been wondering: Doesn't it cost these company more money than if they simply came out with the "pro" version initially? Why have mid-gen refreshes become a thing?

 

[SpaceUI]

Please stop :')
A new switch a year-ish after a new model (OLED) maybe would make sense?

Not really and the leak could be bullshit and I'd end up waiting for nothing as well lol I'm just a bit worried given how badly Xenoblade 2 ran and looked.

I mean, Nintendo´s first party was MIA in the June Direct. Its not really up in the air as they cant hold off for the remainder of 2022, its going to happen in the coming months

The leaker specifically mentioned that they're not certain about September, thread title should be updated

 

[RPGamer92]

I will win the lottery before a Switch Pro is announced.

People upgrading their existing Switch with mid-gen refresh > People buying "mid-gen" refresh at launch.

Also usually mid-gen refreshes are waiting for the technology to get up to speed. You couldn't do a DLSS handheld in 2017.
