The Nintendo Switch, released over two years ago, is the best-selling console to date in the United States, earning the Mario House enough money to make even Tom Nook smile. But we've had indications that Nintendo is considering updating its best-selling console to improve sales. So far, there have been plenty of rumors swirling about the design of a new Nintendo Switch, ranging from a Switch Pro to a couple of new consoles. However, there seems to be a number of rumors racing: the new Switch in development will be a mini version rather than a full-scale successor. The Nintendo Switch Mini (potentially called the "Mini Switch 2") would see Nintendo take the original Switch and shrink it down to a more compact and portable package for those who prefer the Switch's handheld mode over improved hybrid console hardware. evaluated all the evidence that a Nintendo Switch Mini might be on the way for your listening.
Nintendo Switch Mini Release Date
(Image credit: Nintendo) Nintendo hasn't confirmed that a Nintendo Switch Mini is in the works. In fact, it hasn't confirmed the arrival of a new Nintendo Switch either. However, it's been over two years since the Nintendo Switch was released and a redesign is almost certainly underway, from the Gameboy to the Wii via the 3DS, many upgrades have taken place over the years. their lives and are usually half a generation. With the average life cycle of consoles hovering around five or six years, the timing would be ideal to switch to the Switch (although Nintendo hopes to extend this life cycle even further). So when should we expect to see the Switch Mini? Well, ideally, Nintendo would release the compact console in time for Christmas 2019, but without the announcement of its existence, that seems unlikely. In any case, we expect Nintendo to release a new model before Project Xbox Scarlett or PS5 is available - a Wall Street Journal report predicting a new Nintendo Switch model in the middle or late 2019. Nintendo Chairman, Shuntaro Furukawa, these rumors have since been shut down, claiming that no new switch is being built. But if the Nintendo Switch Mini does end up with a 2020 version, it will probably be in direct competition with the upcoming Xbox and PS5 versions, because Sony has already confirmed that we won't see the PS5 before mid-2020 and that the project's Xbox Scarlett release is scheduled for end of 2020.
Nintendo Switch Mini Price

Furthermore, according to the Wall Street Journal report, the first of two potential new Nintendo Switch devices will be aimed at moderate-budget gamers and will see the switch presented in a more traditional format, the first laptop. We also hope that the release of a Nintendo Switch Mini will bring the price of the original switch down, at least a bit.

Leaked images of a Switch Mini silicone case have helped fuel rumors that a Nintendo Switch Mini is in the works. WinFuture has posted images of a silicone skin released by official Switch manufacturer Bigben for a Nintendo "Mini Switch 2". While one image shows the "official" image of the product, the other shows a rendered image of what the case would look like on the Mini. Note that the Joy Con controllers appear to be locked as part of the body, as previous rumors have said. Check below:
One of the official licensees of Nintendo accessories has silicone protection for the Nintendo "Mini Switch 2". Here are some official images of this #NintendoSwitch2: https://t.co/cvka1OuB7Y Jul 1, 2019 The case appears to be for a smaller version of the Nintendo Switch. However, previously revealed images showed the Mini Switch to have USB thumb drives at the same level, while the latest images imply that the flip-flops remain in the same place as the Nintendo Switch, i.e. slightly off. . This means that these images are incorrect or that the previous images are the most likely. However, this doesn't necessarily dispel rumors that two new Switch models are in the works. Nintendo may be working on another new Nintendo Switch model, alongside a Mini Switch. Two new Nintendo Switch consoles.
Instead of publishing a straight Nintendo Switch 2, a Wall Street Journal report suggests that Nintendo is working on two individual variants that, rather than making the current Nintendo Switch obsolete, would put it at the center of a growing lineup. Suitable for all budgets. According to the publication's sources, the first of these new devices will be aimed at budget gamers and will see the Switch presented in a more traditional format, the first on the handheld. It will replace removable Joy-Cons with fixed ones and ditch its HD Rumble feature to cut costs, likely making it harder to play tethered mode with a TV without buying a separate controller. The second new version of the Nintendo Switch is rumored to be a bit harder to pin down, but it would be a premium version of the console with "enhanced features for gaming enthusiasts." This is not to say that we would focus on 4K or HDR visuals, but rather on features and services designed to address the modern obsession with streaming on platforms like Twitch.

Ultimate (Image Credit: Nintendo) (Image Credit: Nintendo) In terms of games, we expect the Nintendo Switch Mini to offer almost all of the same titles as its full-size counterparts, with a few exceptions. The fully portable console will likely focus entirely on single player games, rather than local co-op party titles like Overcooked and Mario Party. Although the current Switch offers suppressor sticks, rumors suggest that the Mini Switch will have a more conventional joystick, meaning it would be next to impossible to play multiplayer games on the Mini.
