If recent leaks from a French retailer are correct, the new Nintendo Switch Pro (or Switch 2, or Switch XL… whatever they might actually name it) will launch sometime this month at a price of $400 Euro, or roughly $370 USD. Since then, Nintendo has remained silent on the possibility of a new Switch, but keep your eyes peeled for updates likely to be revealed over the coming months. With the OLED costing 349.99 and £309.99 in the UK, wed say expect a price increase. The president of Nintendo of America has finally answered reports claiming that the company would release an upgraded version of its hybrid console, presumably called Nintendo Switch Pro, this. Last December, Nintendo of America President Doug Bowser suggested in an interview with Polygon that the Switch and Switch Lite continue to enjoy so much success, the company plans to “lean into” the current hardware form factor and gameplay experience for now, saying “we believe we’re just at the midpoint of this life cycle on this platform.” With no official release date, theres no confirmed price yet. In 2020, COVID impacted the release schedule of a number of games, and some wondered whether Nintendo was holding back certain titles for potential hardware changes in the future.


Is there a chance we won’t get a Switch Pro after all, or that a new platform will be released with much more subtle upgrades? Maybe. In May 2021, reports came in that the Switch Pro would offer a Microsoft Surface-style kickstand and a LAN port on the dock both of which are included in the Switch OLED Model.
