According to the Wall Street Journal, Nintendo is currently moving its production sites away from China, to an undisclosed location in South East Asia. The reason behind this move is the trade war between China and the US, with tariffs now applying to all Chinese-made electronic products. The WSJ is also revealing that two new models have entered production: a new, more powerful system that will resemble the current one; and a second "lite" model that will be sold at a cheaper price and look somewhat different.

The Wall Street Journal reported in March that Nintendo planned to update the Switch this year with two new models. One is set to look similar to the current model with beefed-up components, while the other is expected to be a less-expensive model with a new look.
People involved in the supply chain said production in Southeast Asia has started for the Switch, including the current type and the two new models, suggesting Nintendo is getting ready to introduce them soon. They didn’t give specific volume figures but said Nintendo wanted to have enough units to sell in the U.S., the largest market for videogame consoles, when the new products go on the market.

This has not been confirmed by Nintendo yet and nobody yet knows when these two new models will hit the market. But if this comes true, will The Witcher 3 run at a higher resolution than 540p on the new, more powerful model? Time will tell. Which of these models are you more likely to purchase?

Guess we can’t denie the mini rumors. Hudson has listed acceoriers for the mini. Hudson has made 3rd party items for Nintendo systems for a long time. I can’t see them making a mistake like that!

than you just have a shitty OLD OLED

Except I don't have an OLED at all and wont ever purchase one. Like I said, there is factual, proven, scientific data that says otherwise. And yes, for the most expensive and highly rated OLED's on the market. There's ZERO dispute to be had about it. You've been factually proven to be wrong, there's nothing you can say or do to prove otherwise because the proof already exists that the burn in is indeed an issue. You've been given that proof and still deny it. Not my problem. Did you even read the report/study that was linked for you? Or are you just going to go on spouting stupidity about "Oh... you must have an old crappy tv then."

It comes down to this. FACTS are not disputable. Period. That's why they are called facts, rather than opinions.

So, we know that there was a rumor going on about two new Switch models, one less powerful and one more so. The lesser turned out to be the Nintendo Switch Lite, but we still have yet to find out about the greater.

Will it support DS/3DS cartridges? Will it finally make the Switch line backwards-compatible with Wii/Wii U games? Will it be launched with a virtual console? If you own the greater, would Online Play be made free? Will it fix issues with internet lag and controller problems? Could it be able to wash the dishes?!?

Only time will tell, as we hope for better things... well, it probably won't wash dishes, but it could at least be backwards compatible with something.

No, no, no, no, no and maybe, no

Thanks for ruining a man's dreams.

Imagine fabbing an all-new revision of an ancient X1 chip... Instead of just giving us the X2 chip upgrade that we deserve at the stock speeds.

why bother with a revision if it will be hacked like the original is? just be content with what you already got? the switch lite already has issues with the drift still just as flawed and rushed as the original.

that we deserve
