This week, Nintendo revealed the new Nintendo Switch OLED Model, a brand new Nintendo Switch console releasing later this year. However, according to various reports and rumors, this isn't the long-rumored Nintendo Switch Pro, sometimes referred to as the Super Nintendo Switch or the Nintendo Switch 2. According to a smattering of sources, a more powerful Nintendo Switch is in the works that will be less revision like the Nintendo Switch Lite and the OLED Model, and be more of a proper upgrade.
One report comes the way of industry insider and leaker Jeff Grubb, who recently took to Twitter to and implied the Nintendo Switch OLED Model isn't the Nintendo Switch Pro, which may be set to release as early as next year. Grubb also pointed out that the OLED Model is unlikely to be the last Switch console simply for the fact that Nintendo is the king of revisions.
"I still have only ever personally heard 2022 for a Switch Pro. And if that still happens, I'll continue to speculate that will have 4K output with a significantly more efficient chip with DLSS," said Grubb. "Anyone think this is the last Switch from the company that released six 3DS models?"
Unfortunately, this is where the report ends. From the sounds of it, this Nintendo Switch console will be less revision and more upgrade, but it also sounds like it may not quite be a proper successor, or in other words, the Nintendo Switch Pro. That said, if Grubb provides any more clarification, we will be sure to update the story accordingly.
As for Nintendo, it hasn't commented on any of this, and it almost never comments on rumors, reports, leaks, or anything speculative and unofficial. We don't anticipate this changing, but if it does, we will also be sure to give the story the ol' update.
