According to the latest rumor doing the rounds, Nintendo is currently working on two new revisions for their handheld hybrid console: the Nintendo Switch.
The news comes from Takashi Mochizuki, tech reporter at The Wall Street Journal, who reveals that two new models of the Nintendo Switch will be releasing as early as this summer of 2019; claiming that people who already got a glimpse of these new designs reveal these two new models are "different from the original" and that we'd be surprised.
In a follow-up to his original tweet, Mochizuki also mentions that the new enhanced Nintendo Switch will not similar to what Sony did with the PlayStation 4 Pro, which could mean that Nintendo still isn't going the extra mile to deliver an extremely powerful console.
On the other hand, the "low-budget" Nintendo Switch the company is developing will be something similar to the PlayStation Vita.
It's been speculated for a while that Nintendo would be revising the Nintendo Switch, and one of the things that most fans agree on is that the new Nintendo Switch will likely end up getting rid of the Joy-Con controllers and adopting a more traditional form as a handheld console.
Nintendo releaseing different versions of their consoles has been done in the past so it was not unlikely that they'd do the same with the Nintendo Switch. The Nintendo 3DS, for instance, saw its first revision with the Nintendo 3DS XL, which would later get a New Nintendo 3DS that make the 3D experience a bit better, and would later get a budget version in the form of the Nintendo 2DS (which did away with the 3D function in its entirety) and a Nintendo 2DS XL that gave the console its clamshell design back.
At this point, all we have to do is keep waiting for official announcements from Nintendo.
