That's interesting. Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if the pandemic killed the idea because they were having a hard enough time just meeting demand on the models they already had. Plus Switch sales went crazy in 2020 and 2021 so they also were probably like well we don't even need a Switch 'Pro' and can just put out a small upgrade which became the OLED.

OP I don't know why you say we would hear something bigger in the next couple months. What would rumor of them scrapping a Switch Pro a while back have to do with any sort of announcement soon? Successor is probably roughly 18 months away so we're probably about a year away from it being announced. And since this rumor is saying a 'Pro' was scrapped obviously that would mean there wouldn't be an announcement on something that is no longer being worked on.

Well, during the Wii U era, we learned about the NX (Switch) long time before release. Maybe some similar speculation will happen.
