RAMROD 102,134 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Nintendo has "no plans" to launch a new model of its Switch gaming device beyond the screen upgrade announced this month, the company said on Monday in an unusual public denial following media reports. Prior to the launch announcement, Bloomberg reported the Switch upgrade would have an upgraded central processor unit (CPU) and 4K output. The new model has neither, leading to speculation a further upgrade is pending. The Kyoto-based firm, which is the focus of intense speculation on social media, said on Twitter it has "no plans for launching any other model at this time".

alsemanche 90,792 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Yeah I'm not sure this is the smart move rn. The Steam console thing seems to be quite popular (at least more than I expected it to be) and I've already seen more than one article comparing it to the Switch and speculating that it might become a more popular alternative since it allows for emulation and whatnot. I don't know if that will be a real threat (it's not appealing to me at least) but Nintendo definitely needs to do something new with the Switch tbh. And the console has a lot more potential if their upgrade it with a new model. Soft, soothing, and succulent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their virtual consoles are cool but like they can do a lot more with them and others. It would save them a lot from pirated emulators idk Soft, soothing, and succulent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
