Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nikkei- Switch Pro model delayed out of 2019, budget model still scheduled for release this year

Delayed from what? I wasn’t aware Nintendo had set any date.

Also, I wasn’t aware they were calling it Switch Pro. Every indication has been that they’re looking to release a next generation (or a Switch 2) line, not some +/pro thing.

Perhaps internal dates within the company. All of this is still not confirmed/unconfirmed with Nintendo. 



Pocky Lover Boy! 

Since Nintendo has not officially announce anything I will not even bother reading in the future about any of these rumors



Where I suppose to charge a joycon pair?
That's why I think it needs it's own dock if switch mini meant to be playable on dock.
A smaller dock that also has trails for charging joycon and works with old switch as well.



If true, then I think this is way smarter. A more cost friendly Switch this year for Pokemon and Animal Crossing will be huge. For them to do a "Pro" model next year would also maintain Switch's relevance as Sony and Microsoft release the next generation of consoles.

I think the Switch can hit that 100 million milestone!

Thanks for the extra info, Acevil!

So, the Mini, portable focused Switch is on track for this Fall, but what appears to be the successor has been put on hold because Nintendo still hasn't choosed who will lead the project.

If that last part is true, that means that the successor is, at least, still two or three years away.



Please excuse my bad English.

Currently gaming on a PC with an i5-4670k@stock (for now), 16Gb RAM 1600 MHz and a GTX 1070

I'd be perfectly happy with that. I like not buying new hardware all the time.



Another day, another bogus rumor



Uhuh, “delayed”. I didn’t believe this whole thing from the start.

If the cheaper Switch can still dock, I'd be interested in that.
Now that Joker is out in Smash I should pick one up soon.

Fair enough, but in case you guys said this when Nikkei gave us NX (Switch) info, do you keep in mind the source of the info and their track record for future reference?

Nikkei have a pretty good track record for these things. They revealed when the Gamecube would get discontinued, in spite of Nintendo denying it. Release and details of the 3DS XL, and NX/Switch. And more.

One of the reasons for why they get this info early is because they get info from the manufacturers that design some of the components inside the consoles.

Until they give me a reason to doubt them more than I believe them in situations like this, I'll lean towards believing them.

Even if they have a good track record I am just getting in general tired to read all these rumors. There are so many rumors out their and therefore it is stale to read them.



A better switch model, cool :)
The last quarter of 2019, 100 %!!
