I wonder what shape it will take. Likely a handheld only revision with better battery imo

Hmm... Probably a good idea. You wouldn't want to launch a revision/update next to the Xbox 2 and PS5. No doubt it would sell like hotcakes either way though. Pretty interested to see what upgrades it comes with apposed to the Switch in it's current form.

Probably just to remove that bug that allows people to pirate / homebrew on the switch.
Colour me surprised if it actually comes with any improvements.



I don't dwell in rumor, but considering Nintendo have made some versions on their portables it's quite probable that they are working in a new version for Switch.

Why would you be surprised? Nintendo has been doing this with the DS and 3DS. And Nintendo have been copying MS and Sony recently. They should have knows how much $$$ they can gain from Slim and Pro models. 



Pocky Lover Boy! 

Nice... in time for Metroid 4. so maybe a more powerful machine?



Switch!!!

People are still convinced Nintendo is going to make Switch that doesn't "switch". Remember, a Switch without joycons can't play any game that depends on motion controls, such as the new Mario Party title.

Yep it will happen.
