Sure. I thought you were using Switch Pro as a generic term for some sort of upgraded Switch. Boosting the power is what seems most likely, but I guess they could do something else. |
Yeah agreed. When I talk about or see people talking about a Switch "Pro" or whatever they want to call it, I'm talking about and assuming others are talking about just the normal new versions of systems that Nintendo always does with the handhelds. People who think Nintendo is gonna come out with some halfway to a new generation upgrade that plays games all the other Switches can't play are delusional. Nintendo has never done that, or when they have done something along those lines (GBC, N64 Expansion Pack, etc) it's been limited to all of like 5 games that can only be played with the upgrade. But they always have revisions to their portables, both cheaper versions and more premium versions. We already have the cheaper Lite, I'm sure we'll get a premium Switch whenever Switch sales start to slow and they'll do a price drop on the original combined with releasing an updated model.
It'd be very surprising if Nintendo DOESN'T release a Switch Pro as they always release a variety of versions of their portables. People like to buy new versions of stuff and they also like to buy the best versions of stuff - which is why Nintendo has always released different versions of their portables. We should fully expect at least one more version of the Switch to release and since we already have the Lite it seems obvious it'll be an upgraded version of the original. But yeah people who talk about some mid-generation reboot with a Switch 1.5 that can get straight ports of PS4 games or something is just pure fantasy land. If a game can't be played on the OG Switch and the Lite, its not gonna be able to be played on future versions of the Switch.
