‘NEW Nintendo Switch’. Release news leaked from game companies?
Nintendo might be releasing a new device. Game stop, a gaming company, has posted an event offering additional points for purchases of new Nintendo Switch devices in its online store.
Forbes estimated that the word New did not appear to be a typo and that GameStop leaked the product launch. Nintendo-related media, Nintendoenthusiast, also mentioned that the information was accurate, saying, “I heard that the product will start production around June.”
In fact, the humor that Nintendo’s new product was unveiled at E3, the world’s largest gaming event, has been rife. E3 started on the 12th and finish on the 15th. Nintendo will make an online announcement on the 3rd and last day of the event, the 15th.
Game media and IT media expected to unveil their products along with new games at the event.
Its presumed name is the Nintendo Switch Pro, which offers significant performance improvements over its predecessor. The existing LCD will change to a Samsung OLED display. The size will also increase from 6.2 inches to 7 to 7.5 inches. In addition, it supports 4K video using Nvidia’s deep learning super-sampling AI technology.
Also, as new products are released, general switches are discontinued. But the cheaper model, the Switch Lite, will continue to sell, Forbes and others predicted.
Forbes also mentioned that the related phrase released by GameStop may be a mistake. Gamestop runs a promotion from the 13th to the 19th, but there is no news of product release yet.
And now that we are suffering from a shortage of parts, including OLED panels, the probability of launching new hardware is also low. Forbes said that Nintendo had also heard that it was only announcing software at E3, adding that it may be a simple mistake on the part of the company.
Forbes and Nintendoenthusiast said they contacted the company via email about the matter, but had not received a response and said the ad was still running. Nintendoenthusiast sees GameStop and Nintendo remain silent, so they’re confident they’ll get a new product this week.
