I think that is a good idea. It will give 2019 and 2020 some sort of boost thanks to the new Hardware. Releasing the Switch Lite this year make sense because there are many "handheld" franchises are releasing this year like Yokai Watch 2, Fire emblem, Animal Crossing and Pokemon.
Pocky Lover Boy!
Oh well, guess I'm keeping my day 1 model then.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Now it makes sense.If the Switch mini is dockable, then I can see Nintendo making it happen.What I was opposed to was this model being completely handheld only.But If Nintendo managed to make it smaller(or whatever the lite version entails) and still dockable, and probably comming with a dock itself on whatever bundle it comes with, then I can see it happening.
My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

If the Pro model is having heat and compatibility issues that sounds more like a "Switch 2" than just a minor upgrade.

Don't forget that Nintendo are pretty insane when it comes to insuring a device has 100% compatibility with the previous games, they literally playtested every single Gameboy and Gameboy Colour cartridge in the GBA to insure 100% of them worked on the new systems.... throw the spanner into the works that the Switch now has 2k titles on it and a lot of them are huge in comparison to the 512kb GB games of old.
On topic though, this is pretty cool to hear, wouldn't be nice to shell out on a pro version of a system only to find it had issues coming out the gate, you buy a premium system you want to feel like you're getting a bug free premium experience.
Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive
honestly they are wasting their time with a more powerful version to justify a repurchase. How much more powerful can they make it?
This shit needs to be built with that in mind from day 1.
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.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
I'll be waiting to see the pro then. No interest in a smaller model.
The Article is said to be incorrect. Here is a twitter feed explaining some of the issues with western reporting.
1)
Information from that Japanese-only Nikkei article on Nintendo from today (https://t.co/GLmkV8YEOg) has led to English-language articles containing errors.
Do not rely on Google Translate for serious journalism or analysis. It doesn't work.
2)
The article is actually about Nintendo's recent history, personnel and current role in the video game industry - and not so much about the Switch.
About the "errors": the Nikkei does say the Lite/portable/smaller model is scheduled for release in the fall + can dock to TVs.
3)
The article describes the other device variant not really as a beefed-up "Pro" but says it will be a "full model change".
There is no mention in the article that there is a "delay". (After all, the device has not been announced yet - how can it be officially delayed?).
4)
There is also no mention of a "problem with power consumption" that many English-language media are now spreading.
(I ran the article through Google Translate and triple-checked, and that part is a real mystery to me.)
5)
Instead, Nikkei says the production of the variant is being "held back".
This is because according to one or more developers (there is no plural in Japanese) the paper spoke to, it is not entirely clear who at Nintendo is leading the concept creation of the device.
6)
In Google Translate, it says "the development of the next-generation model that completely remodels the current model will be postponed."
Once again, this is *incorrect*.
