Switch Pro to be announced soon, release date this fall sept-oct *update* Bloomberg reconfirms

[Gizmo_Duck]

UPDATE——

Nintendo Co. plans to begin assembly of its new Switch as soon as July and release the upgraded replacement for its four-year-old game console in September or October, people familiar with the matter said.

The new console, likely to be priced higher than the $299 original, may be announced ahead of the E3 conference starting June 12 to allow publishers to showcase their full range of Switch games at the global event, the people said, asking not to be named because the plans are not yet public. It will be sold alongside the $199 Switch Lite, with the standard Switch phased out over time.

Assemblers will start shipping the new model -- whose commercial name is known only to a handful of people within the Kyoto-based company -- as early as July and production is planned to ramp up to a peak in the October-December quarter. This is despite widespread semiconductor shortages that have affected the supply of everything from automobiles to TVs, headphones and games consoles, including the Switch itself.

A Nintendo spokesman declined to comment.

Gonna be interesting to see how they release a new console during this chip shortage.

I want it but I'm already happy with my switch... If the graphic is wild crazy good comparing to the original switch then maybe I might consider upgrading...

They're not going to

Doesn’t matter when it’s coming, you’re not getting one.

Nevermind a Switch Pro, the regular and Lite are hard to get as is.

Everybody swore this would be confirmed last month and then......?

The only thing confirmed is that Nintendo can't produce the regular Switch fast enough. Ain't shyt happening until the chip shortage is no longer a problem.
