8 Things We Know About the Future of Nintendo Switch

With the release of the Nintendo Switch in 2017, Nintendo crowned itself the king of gaming once more.

The portable Nintendo Switch’s ability for gamers to enjoy it at home or on-the-go has made the system a worldwide phenomenon. And since Nintendo’s never been one to rest on its laurels, there are new announcements for this system and its games just about every day!

Wondering what the future of the Nintendo Switch holds? Here are just a few pieces of Nintendo Switch news we’ve already learned.

1. The Future Is Portable

Nintendo has a long history of releasing different versions of the same system. Just ask any fan of the Nintendo DS! And it looks like this tradition is continuing with the Switch.

Some fans were hoping for a “new and improved” Switch in the same vein as the Xbox One X and the PS4 Pro. However, Nintendo surprised us all by announcing the Nintendo Switch Lite.

This will be a portable only version of the Nintendo Switch that plays all the same games and has most of the same features (except for detachable Joy-con controllers). This will boast a lower price to lure in new buyers (more on this in a minute). Of course, Nintendo is certainly hoping megafans “double dip” and buy multiple systems.

The Nintendo Switch Lite will be released on September 20, 2019.
