 Hey everyone, bit of an update here on the Switch Pro, now again it's a weird thing to be talking about the Switch Pro since we're talking about something that doesn't even been confirmed to exist yet, but this is an update that comes from the publication, Japanese publication Nikkei, and it's been translated by USGamer.net. They actually screwed up the original translation, so I forgive you if you think you already know what this news is, some of you are thinking it's a delay, some of you are thinking that maybe some news on the Switch Mini here, but actually they made a number of errors in the initial report and now they've corrected them, so let's actually read what these corrected errors are and talk about it. So first this is about the Switch Pro itself, so it says beyond the smaller budget focus model lies the development of an overhauled next-generation model, intended to replace the one currently available. Nintendo's believed to be experimenting on a number of different things for this device, including usability, improved image rendering, and changes to the operating system, among other things. One development source contends, however, that it still remains unclear at this stage who at the company will end up taking the lead on conceptual development for the new console. So that is obviously interesting, we'll get to that in a moment. If you scroll further down you'll actually see where it talks a little bit about the Switch Mini and it says the small bargain version of this main console, Nintendo Switch, it's reportedly designed for a portable outdoor use. The report also suggests that it will be dockable and playable on the TV, so that does go against earlier rumors that suggested a smaller switch would do away with the TV component of the current Nintendo Switch model. Now it being dockable of course doesn't mean that it's going to come with a dock, but that it does support such a functionality. So what does this all mean? What it does mean is that if this report is true that the Switch Mini now is conflicting reports on its usability of being a docked version or not, but also more importantly for the Switch Pro which is obviously the next generation or the next more powerful Switch or however you want to look at it, the mid-gen upgrade, they're suggesting they don't even know who's going to lead on the concept of development for the new console. If they're at a point where they're not even sure who's going to lead the project, it's not coming this year folks. And I think that's kind of the big takeaway here and maybe this is why people felt it's a delay when that's not actually what the Nikkei report says. The Nikkei report does not say the Switch Pro is delayed. They say that they have a number of things they're considering for the Switch Pro and they haven't even picked someone to head the project. If they don't even head for the project, the Switch Pro is not coming in 2019. This would actually go against the report from the Wall Street Journal that said that we are going to get the Switch Pro and the Switch Mini this year. So now we got conflicting reports from reliable sources on what the heck is happening with the Switch Pro and I don't know really where I'm supposed to stand on all of this. This is what happens when you're in the realm of leaks and rumors and speculation. You don't really know what's true and what's not. Nikkei is a reliable source. Wall Street Journal is generally considered reliable. Eurogamer is generally considered reliable and all three of them are now conflicting with each other in various different ways. So tread lightly I guess is the best way to report it. I guess if there's one takeaway you could take out of this article along with the Wall Street Journal and Eurogamer is that we're getting Switch Mini this year. Switch Mini is happening in 2019. They all agree on that. So I guess that's one point if they all agree on it. It's probably true but there's a whole bunch of disagreements on the Switch Pro and man oh man I don't think we're gonna see like the more and more I'm hearing about it the more and more I don't think we're seeing Switch Pro this year. I don't think they're announcing it this year. I don't think it's gonna be at E3. I think they're just gonna let PlayStation Xbox do the thing this year and then I'll say next year release it next year. I don't know like they don't even I mean if this report's true they don't even have someone to lead the project. So I have no idea what's going on with this thing and I think that's really the biggest takeaway is none of us have any idea what the Switch Pro is gonna be right. This latest new report says there are debating a number of different things including usability which I mean obviously that's the functionality of the system. Improved image rendering which you know again improved you know that's like hardware improvements and changes to the operating system. I don't know what you need to change but okay and then among other things like we know nothing so stay classy and be sure to enter our Nintendo Switch Super Smash Result to make a giveaway because you know what we do know that thing exists that thing's real. So go to that gleam.io link in the description and enter and let me know I guess your hopes and desires for the Switch Mini and the Switch Pro and what if anything all these conflicting reports mean to you because to me they mean a whole lot of confusion on a product that Nintendo's not even confirmed to exist so I guess this is what happens when you live in the world of rumors and speculation. Alright folks, catch you in the next one.
