There have been rumors that Nintendo is working on a Nintendo Switch Pro for quite a while now. However, if Nintendo does indeed have something up its sleeve, we, at the very least, know it won’t be coming in 2020 as the company has confirmed it won’t be releasing any new consoles this year. <\/p>\n
That doesn’t guarantee, though, that we won’t see the release of a new Nintendo Switch sometime in the future. <\/p>\n
There’s already precedent another iteration of Nintendo’s beloved console. In 2019 there were technically two new Switch consoles: one with a longer battery life and a streamlined dedicated handheld, the Nintendo Switch Lite<\/a>. After these another, more premium, version of the console doesn’t seem entirely out of the realms of possibility. <\/p>\n This new Switch (or Switch Pro) could build on the original Nintendo Switch<\/a>, offering upgraded hardware with improved graphics and processing power. There are many routes Nintendo could take to enhance the Nintendo Switch and while it’s been reported that any upgrade won’t be as extensive as we’d like to see<\/a>, there’s nothing certain just yet. <\/p>\n And that’s because, at this time, Nintendo hasn’t even confirmed the existence of a Switch Pro and it’s ruled out<\/a> any new console in 2020. Regardless, the rumors persist so while we wait for more definitive answers from Nintendo, we’re going to run through the likely (and unlikely) possibilities for a Nintendo Switch Pro below.<\/p>\n
