Reminds me of the endless Wii HD rumours.

Is it safe to assume we might officially hear something at the end of March about this model? Similar to how they announced the existence of Switch as codename NX during their shareholder meetings. Either way I don't see thing this thing getting released this year but an official reveal might not be far off.
I would expect to hear around May/June if it’s only going into production around that time. They still want to sell the Mario and MH themed Switches they have put/coming out.
No mention in the article about power increases, I hope it’s not just a new screen and a dock that has some oomph in it. I play predominantly handheld so I want a new model that offers improved performance as well as a bigger screen.
These Switch Pro rumours are like the boy who cried wolf, feels like we’ve heard so many from different sources over the years that even when we finally get what could be the true one I won’t believe it
Only couple of games that could sway me is if BoTW 2 and Pokémon Legends have drastically better graphics and performance, if they’re just slightly better I’ll stick with my current/original Switch and wait for the Switch 2 to come out.

This is my thinking, slightly bigger screen is nice but if that’s the only improvement in Handheld mode then I’ll pass. I want the system to have more power so that it runs games as well as docked and that some of third party games that have to reduce graphical details/quality no longer need to do that.

I’ve not found the screen size to be a problem at all when playing handheld, even for when I’ve found myself playing a lot of Breath of The Wild, Skyrim and The Witcher 3 all on the go so even a jump in screen size wouldn't tempt me, even more so if that’s the only major upgrade, a nicer screen. I keep seeing elsewhere about how DLSS could work wonders for the Switch which it might, wouldn’t put it pass Nintendo not to use it though! Not sure exactly how it works but from the sounds of it would give the Switch a lot better graphics without using loads more power?

My understanding of DLSS is that it’s just an AI upscaling feature that makes an image look 4k? I may be totally wrong but it would still be the same games with have just AI forcing them into 4k when you dock the system which is no good for me as I play predominantly handheld.
Bigger, crisper OLED screen would be nice though, the OG vita looked amazing, but if that’s the only upgrade when playing handheld then it’ll be a no from me

What's with switch game prices man
I'm the complete opposite, despite its much lauded software catalogue I've bought precisely 4 games for my PS4 in the 2 years I've had it and if it weren't for Bloodborne having been so damned fantastic I wouldn't hesitate to say it was a mistake to buy the machine!
Out of curiosity how many games available on PS4 did you opt to get on PC?

Sure sure but what if it had new joy-cons that didn't have stick drift

Give me a Switch 2 that is a real step forward, make it backwards compatible with the games (and accessories) from Switch 1 and watch the sales roll in.
