Nintendo would be working on a simple version of the Switch and a version with much better hardware

It seems that Nintendo is working on two variants of the Nintendo Switch, one cheaper and the other with more powerful hardware.

Last year the second best-selling console, curiously, was the Nintendo Switch. Despite being a fairly simple console and with a growing catalog, but not overwhelmingly large, it has great acceptance. It seems that Nintendo is working on two new versions of this console, thinking of different users. The first version would be a more powerful and renewed version of the Switch. There will also be a version with trimmed features that will also cut the price.

Who has revealed this information has been Takashi Mochizuki, from the Wall Street Journal, which usually has very good sources. According to his sources related to Nintendo, the idea of ​​the company is "to maintain the momentum of sales." For this they would launch a minimally updated version with a cut price and a much more powerful version.

"My latest news about the new Nintendo Switch is that it will arrive this summer," Mochizuki tweeted on his Twitter account. "There would be two models, and people who have seen them said that the designs of new devices are different from the originals and that they will surprise you."

Although the console will receive a hardware update, it will not reach the performance of the Xbox One or the PlayStation 4. Nor is it that Nintendo needs a console that performs as much as these desktop consoles, due to its audience. It is more focused on casual gaming and group entertainment.
