The Nintendo Switch Pro has been talked about for some time, and on the subject has taken the field no less than an executive of Nintendo itself: no denial, Switch Pro will be done.
He took the field no less than Doug Bowser, president of the American division of Nintendo, to comment on recent rumors that within the year will be official a Pro version of Nintendo Switch. This possibility has been talked about for several weeks, and the statements that Bowser has entrusted to the Washington Post add to the rumors so far.
“We are always very attentive to technology and the ways in which it can improve the gaming experience. Technology is never an end in itself,” Bowser said. But it’s the unspoken that has made the most noise: the Nintendo executive could have denied the existence of the Nintendo Switch Pro project, yet he didn’t. He preferred to expose underlining a concept perhaps trivial but still shareable: Nintendo is constantly looking around, always watching and participating in advances in technology, questioning continuously on what is the most appropriate time to make them available to the general public.
Nintendo Switch Pro waiting for the right time
“A new hardware will be announced when the time comes,” said Bowser dispensing the tranquility of those who have the ability to wait for the right time. After all, Nintendo Switch, more than four years after its launch, is in good health and still has satisfactory sales, so there is no hurry to “shake up” the market.
In light of the lack of denial by the president of Nintendo USA on the existence of the Nintendo Switch Pro project, it is legitimate to think that the rumors arrived so far were correct, but making it official at this time – it would be the company’s point of view – would not be a correct move.
Also, in all likelihood, in light of the very difficult period that affects the entire technology sector due to the shortage of chips triggered by the pandemic from Covid-19.
The rumors about Nintendo Switch Pro
According to some information bounced recently from Bloomberg, Nintendo Switch Pro is however destined to debut soon, by September or October 2021 at the latest. It will replace the existing model and should be sold starting at $299, wrote a month ago the header, which, however, has already predicted it wrong: Bloomberg had suggested that the presentation of Nintendo Switch Pro could take place at E3 2021, and that did not happen.
To hear the other rumors that have come in time, Nintendo Switch Pro should be equipped with a 7-inch OLED display made by Samsung and support Nvidia DLSS technology. That’s all we know for now, but Bowser’s statements open up a news-filled near future.
