Report claims Nintendo Switch will get a smaller version

Earlier this week, Nintendo’s president said there weren’t any immediate plans to release a new version of the Nintendo Switch console. But that isn’t stopping the rumour mill from going on. A report from Japanese publication Nikkei claims there is a more compact version of the Switch in the works and that it might come out early this year. A translation of the story says, “They’re taking measures as for what is to come—one of those being a smaller version of the Switch. The company said that ‘couldn’t comment’ on their plans for the product, but has informed multiple suppliers and game development companies that they intend to release them as early as 2019. According to their affiliates, they are ‘miniaturizing the console with portability and playing outdoors in mind, as well as cutting features to reduce the price and expand the userbase.'”

Aside from that, there are rumours that Nintendo Switch Online is getting an update, too. But there weren’t any specifics on what that update is going to be. But it should be expected to come this year as well. At this point, this report still has to be taken with a grain of salt. But we will keep you posted for any updates.
