Nintendo has assured fans that they will not see Nintendo Switch ProOr the upgraded Switch hardware.

According to Bloomberg High hope monthAt the briefing, the company “does not plan to make an announcement soon” on the new equipment.
Industry analysts agree. David Gibson He said that Nintendo pointed out that, apart from the red and blue “Mario Switch” and “Monster Hunter Rise” switches that we have heard of, “there are no new model plans.”
Gibson went on to point out that Nintendo appears to be reducing its hardware inventory to a “low-level record”, noting that if there is no upgrade plan at work, the company is skeptical.
We have heard before that Doug Bowser, president of Nintendo America, believes that Nintendo Switch is at the “midpoint” of its life cycle, and underestimated reports that new hardware will revitalize the Switch ecosystem.
A previous Bloomberg report indicated that Nintendo has asked developers to provide 4K game preparation for the upcoming Switch hardware update, but this contradicts the company’s official comments.
At present, Nintendo seems reluctant to officially announce any news. We just need to wait a while to see the company’s plans.
