Switch Pro Release?

[Purpleswans]

I know the Nintendo Switch Pro is just a rumor based on leaks, but is something like it actually coming? I heard they were supposed to come out last Thursday, then last Friday... but now it looks like we won't hear anything about it until the end of E3 if at all.

 

I don't have a Nintendo Switch right now and have been holding off on getting one until the Pro version comes out, but if it's not coming I'm going to feel really stupid.

Since the original Switch is essentially just a highly customized nVidia Tegra X1 tablet, I would guess a new version is coming sometime, but only Nintendo will officially know if and when. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tegra#Tegra_X1

Well.... Nvidia stopped having the Tegra Chip thats in the current Switch produced. So. A lot of people are speculating that Nintendo has a new console in bound. Nintendo does its own thing around E3 time, so you will have to wait for their event and watch it to find out.

but I'd expect it during Holiday season at earliest.

If it was coming during the Holiday Season Nintendo would have announced it. The fact they didnt leads me to believe that they might be waiting on the supply chain to get more back to normal.

Nothing has been confirmed yet so we're jist speculating.

Okay, looks like it IS real under the name "Nintendo Switch (OLED model)" and it will be here October 8th. Not as big spec improvement as we heard, but maybe that means there won't be as much competition to preorder before they run out. 

 

On that note, does anybody know a website, notification, or other communication I can use to track down when preorders are available? I've heard horror stories about the PS5 debacle.
