Taipei newspaper "Economic Daily" (VGC) reported that a new type of Nintendo Switch may come out in the first quarter of 2021 (that is, January to March). This may place its release on the fourth anniversary of the Switch release, which was released in March 2017. A subsequent report published by Bloomberg also hinted that the new Switch model will come out in 2021, further enhancing authenticity. Although this is still informal, this is the latest in a series of signs that the Nintendo plans to finally release a new Switch model.
"Economic Daily" quoted various news, they need to fully understand the process before publishing, so that it can be produced and put on the shelf. In terms of specific improvements, they only shared some details, including enhancements to "interactivity" (which is very vague and could mean many things), and improved display effects.
According to the report, Bloomberg provided it with its own news as a backing, the news said that the upgraded Switch model will come out in 2021. It said that the specifications have not been finalized, but Nintendo is considering adding and supporting 4K graphics. It also added that "a series of new games" will be added either when the model is released or at some time thereafter. Its sources indicate that this is why there are relatively few first-party Nintendo Switch game releases in the second half of 2020.
So far, Nintendo has released a major revision of the Switch in the form of Switch Lite, which cancels the function of connecting the system to the TV and sells it at a lower price. In 2019, subtle improvements were made to the standard Switch, and the standard Switch received an improved battery. But the latter is a small improvement over the existing Switch, it simply replaces the existing model at the same cost; if you don't know the changes you made, you may never even realize the changes.
In recent years, there have been various signs that Nintendo intends to release a higher-end Switch model, which some people call Switch Pro. The Wall Street Journal reported in early 2019 that two new models will be launched that year, one of which is a cheaper model (originally the Switch Lite) and one for ``crazy & 39; & 39; players. ``Enhanced &39;&39; system.
"Nikkei Shimbun" subsequently reported that after the release of the product Switch Lite, work on the "next generation" Switch will begin. It is not clear whether this means that the full successor to the Switch is something more similar to PS4 Pro or Xbox One X. Due to the great success of the Switch, Nintendo suggested in 2018 that its service life could be extended to the usual 5-6 years.
"When you consider the Nintendo Switch as a device that can be carried around and everyone can play, you will realize that it has features that have not been available on any other hardware until now." Shigeru Miyamoto made an investment Said on the conference call. "Nintendo also has a suitable system where software developers can focus on these hardware functions in their development work to continue the Nintendo Switch business."
added: "So far, the hardware life cycle is about five to six Years, but if we can extend the life cycle will be very interesting, I think you should look forward to it."
Earlier this year, Nintendo stated that it would not release a new Switch model in 2020. As the latest report suggests, this does not rule out plans for next year. As pointed out by VGC, earlier this year, researcher Mike Heskin pointed out that Switch 10.0.0 firmware inclusions may be newReference of Switch model.
Issuing new hardware is a standard part of Nintendo’s business-you only need Lenovo 3DS, 3DS XL, New 3DS, New 3DS XL, 2DS, New 2DS and New 2DS XL to get proof. Therefore, if Nintendo does not intend to make further revisions to the Switch’s hardware, this is even more surprising-although the current version continues to sell well enough that Nintendo may not try to withstand the huge amount of bringing new products to market pressure.
