Nintendo will launch an updated version of the Switch in 2019, according to a Wall St Journal report.
There’s no firm detail on what this will entail, however – the article [paywall] simply mentions a “brighter, thinner” screen as one of several possible options. As for a release date, a broad summer to late 2019 release window is apparently on the cards.
An earlier Wall St Journal article [paywall] from March this year stated the opposite – that Nintendo was “holding off on Switch 2.0” to make money on peripherals instead. But after several years on sale, a refresh for Nintendo’s console is hardly surprising – especially after a noticeably quieter year for Switch following the console’s meteoric launch.
