There is a new rumor about Switch Pro posted on Reddit by a quite reliable insider, or so it seems.

Following this rumor, Switch Pro will be a home-only console, with enhanced hardware specs capable of boosting current Switch games up to 4k and 60fps, for games like Breath of the Wild. It says this new product of the Switch family will launch in 2021 at $399 along with the sequel of BOTW, curiously named Zelda: Breath of Darkness. :O

Here is the rumored Switch Pro specs:

- SoC NVIDIA Tegra Xavier (Custom)
- Storage: SSD 64 GB
- Supported Res: 4K/60 fps, 1920x1080
- Audio: PCM 5.1 Stereo and 7.1 Surround
- 2x USB 3.0 ports
- 2x USB Type-C ports
- 2x HDMI ports
- Wi-Fi e Bluetooth 5.1

This "deep throat" also confirms that both Link and Zelda will be playable characters in the sequel.

Not buying any of it.  I don't see Nintendo even coming close to pushing 4k.  And $400 for a Nintendo home console, yeah, no.  Nintendo isn't going to directly compete with Sony/MS.  The X1 is super powerful and is being smoked by the Switch.  There is no logic behind Nintendo taking a X1 type path.  Given the success of the Switch, I don't see them ever doing a home only console again.
