WSJ: Nintendo shifts part of production from China to SEA, and starts production for two new Switch SKUs
- Thread starter Zedark
- Start date

That Papagenos stuff sounds like a pipe dream to me. All of that stuff in one device would be crazy expensive and Nintendo coming out with something with that premium of a price tag just doesn't fit the company.
lmao you've written her off because of one inaccurate detail from a game in development?
She had the exact specs for the Switch a month before its announcement. She wrote about Labor VR well in advance of an announcement. She's been extremely cautious with the information she shares.
Emily, do you have any idea about how big of an upgrade we will see with an enhanced model? Should we keep our expectations in check?
I already gave my answer why i really don't need to explain myself any further.
What a strange attitude to take after one mistaken detail, compared to all the other stuff that was right on the money.
The same Nintendo that sold the Switch for $299 and was DOA due to the high price?
They absolutely can put a premium product out there. This is what the rumor has been suggesting as the pro model.
As for the specifics of the specs we don't know. But your assumptions are way off base and kind of dismissive tbh
What if her female link rumor wasnt for BOTW.... but for BOTW 2? Pretty easy to get those confused if there wasnt a whole lot of info for her to go on.
I've been interested in a smaller more sturdy Switch for a while now. I recently replayed Crisis Core on my Vita and man do I just prefer that form factor. I am hoping they make it smaller without shrinking the screen too much. I don't mind them removing the joycons since I barely use them and I wouldn't mind buying a separate pair for use when needed. The only big thing that needs to stay is the ability to dock it to a TV since I use both modes a good amount. Dream form factor is a bit larger than the Vita with all the same functions as the current switch minus the joycons.
Don't think so, if they started production it is coming this Fiscal year.
I could see Witcher 3 being ported to showcase the next hardware ;)
Switch specs where already known people just didn't wanna accept it back then, i didn't follow labo so i can't comment on that.
If it's in production now, it's going to be a 2019 release not 2020, so I would assume they are wrong unless they just missed on the date.
i'm sure Mr. G is trolling report him for derailing the topic
Well if they want Witcher 3 as the big showcase for the Pro ... they should've waited and announced it together with the revision. ^^
Do we know if this is for the pro version or the lite version? I imagine they release the lite version first, then a pro down the line. I dont think they would muddy up their SKU's with 3 different versions all at once.
You are right.
It is totally getting released with Link's Awakening I feel.
BOTW 2 coming by the end of the summer confirmed. To be announced at the Treehouse.
I just hope people keep their expectations in check, and know that it will likely still be way less powerful than even the launch Xbone. It's likely going to be such a small upgrade
Two years in advance before the first game was out even?
Would be too funny if true but no i don't believe she would have info on a game that just yesterday has been announced while the first game wasn't even out yet.
It's in the OP. WSJ is reporting that both models are already in production.
You noticed that they didn't gave the release date, so we are bound to another showcase ;)
Pro will replace the current Switch SKU imo. It'll come after the Lite version which should be cheaper.
That's a weird take. No one is expecting that.
That said an X2 is around 750 GFLOPS to the current 400 GFLOPS docked if we Just scale up performance from higher clocks and since it's Nvidia flops to the Xbones 1TF AMD flops it can get very close
Whenever this thing comes out, in whatever form it comes out, I promise there will be threads on here complaining that it doesn't solve every performance issue they've experienced on the Switch. I promise you that, lol.
Me, if this new thing can just get BotW to run at a stable 30fps I'll be happy.
I agree that it sounds a bit out there, especially with the logistics of getting a modem in a console, still Papagenos got this info from a source who also informed him about the info in the new Switch model in the article that WSJ put out a few months ago, a few days prior to that article.
Vita and phones don't have serious problems with OLED, the solution to burn-in is to limit brightness, something portable devices have much less problem with than TVs.
LTE/5G is manageable battery drain, but I wonder about how likely they would go through the trouble of implementing it too.
1080P, seems totally reasonable to me. Have an SoC upgraded to the point that you can play at the docked performance profile on normal Switch games while portable on the new console. New games can still run at <1080P, but still have better looking UI.

The leaker did suggest it would wind up having a ~$500 price tag, which sounded crazy, but if PS5 and/or Scarlet release at $500, like we suspect they may then...
I'd buy a Switch Pro if it meant playing Daemon X Machina at 60 fps. Or Xenoblade 2 at an actual 1080p resolution.
I'm interested in buying the lite/handheld one but I'm really curious to see what they've planned for the Pro.
If it isn't more powerful than the OG then I don't see many reasons for it to exist (unless it's a lot cheaper to manufacture). If it is more powerful, why not just call it Switch 2?

I bet we're going to see a lot of companies go to SEA to skirt over the Chinese tariffs because blown up perpetually angry orange tan man keeps blowing up deals and lies about shit to serve his ego.
I really hope so!
Yeah they forgot to announce it yesterday, guys!
The one Resetera poster with unmatchable detective skills said so.
The annual meeting of shareholders, yeah. But I don't see them announcing hardware there. They usually just send out a PR and video on a random day when they announce a new revision.
If they are both in production (and have been for an undisclosed amount of time), then yes. Absolutely.
How much lead in time do we usually get from production to release on new models?
Rumor was originally pointing at June, but seems too late to reveal/release that.
There's an overabundance of titles in September, but that seems a bit far.
Dunno
