It appears rumors of an upgraded Switch are coming true.
However, I personally can't get too excited about a unit that is as powerful as a PS4. That's already one step behind the next gen systems, no?
New Nintendo Switch Pro leaks just dropped, and it sounds incredible
Quote:
According to Bloomberg, the new Switch Pro will feature a 7-inch display (as opposed to the current model's 6.2-inches). What's more, it will do away with LCD technology in favour of an OLED screen – making it much brighter and crisper.
Bloomberg's report also corroborates recent rumours that the new Switch will support 4K output when connected to a TV. While the Switch currently supports 1080p output while docked (or 720p in handheld mode), 4K video would be a new frontier for Nintendo. Exploring Breath of the Wild's Hyrule or zooming around Bowser's castle in Mario Kart will be more immersive experiences than ever in crisp 4K.
Last week, well-regarded Nintendo leaker Nate Drake took to the ResetEra forum to claim that the new Nintendo Switch will be "like a PS4 with DLSS and a more capable CPU". While we can hardly expect the tiny Switch to compete with Sony's enormous PlayStation 5 (here's where to buy a PS5), a 4K handheld device as powerful as the PS4 sounds pretty incredible.
