It's been close to a year since The Wall Street Journal threw some fuel on the fire when they claimed that Nintendo was planning to launch a more powerful Switch sometime in 2019. That's why it was somewhat confusing when we heard rumours claiming the Japanese company was actually working on a cheaper Switch a few months later, but now we might know why there were two different reports.
The Wall Street Journal is back at it again, this time claiming that Nintendo is actually working on two new Nintendo Switch models. The more powerful version said to offer "enhanced features" that are supposed to draw the interest of more avid players, but still won't be as powerful as the PS4 Pro or Xbox One X. This will obviously be a bit more expensive, so they have another option as well.
That's the cheaper model with fewer functions, including the removal of the Joy-Con vibration according to the parts suppliers and software developers WSJ has been talking to. This is supposedly meant as a kind of successor to the 3DS and aimed at the more casual players out there.
Obviously, neither of these versions have been confirmed or even teased officially yet, but these rumours and reports definitely sound plausible. By the looks of it, we won't have to wait too long to see if it's true either way, as Nintendo is allegedly set to announce the two consoles at E3 and release them a few months later.
Which of these would you be most interested in if true?
