Rumors of a Nintendo Switch redesign have been cropping up with increased regularity in recent weeks. Some have pointed to a Switch upgrade with improved specifications, while others have hinted at a more affordable version of the hybrid console. It even appeared as though the company had taken notice last week, as Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa said in a interview that they are “not considering a successor or a price cut at this time.”
But this week, Japanese publication Nikkei added more fuel to the fire Nintendo attempted to put out by reporting that a cheaper, smaller Switch variant would arrive at some point in the 2019 financial year (April 2019 – March 2020). As GearNuke notes, the report claims the redesigned Switch will be “portable” and “easy to carry around.”
