Hoping the pro version is real too although I may just stick with the mini, loved my psp and vitas portability. Base switch is too big and heavy lol.

the original one is fine don't need a mini lol the one itself is already small lol!

Nice. I'd only really play it in handheld mode so this cheaper option without a Dock sounds good to me

https://www.myinstants.com/...

it should be called the LiteSwitch

Until Nintendo jumps out of the bush and yells surprise with the new model of Switch I don't buy it.

Pffff, no thanks

Meh. This still cant play RE 2 remake and my dad's 300$ laptop can. Albeit at 25-30fps but is still noticeably MIA on supposedly the "hottest system out right now"🙄

This was found to be a fan mockup.

Cute. I'm guessing this is strictly a handheld now or can it be played on the tv as well like the original hybrid.

The pics of the system all look like mock -ups, not actual physical devices. I wonder if those images are preliminary. They all look...sort of...plain I guess is the word I'd use. Wouldn't surprise me if the final machine is a bit dif.

That's the version for me. The screen could be smaller.

whether its real or not its still whack, this limits the kinds of game folks will be able to play, if they want a cheaper item get a 3DS....sheesh man!

If this is gonna split the games like New 3ds and 3ds where some games wont run on this budget model then ugh

Not for me. I never take my switch out of dock.

Whenever I wish Nintendo would do something they always go in the opposite direction. Was really hoping for a non handheld version that just hooks up to the TV at a reduced price.

My question would be what would happen if the joycons give out since I always hear about people having drift issues or random disconnects when you're playing docked

They should build one with proper handles. I got the best handles for mine and it makes a WORLD of difference because of how uncomfortable the Switch is without one. Im pretty sure tons of people are playing theirs without proper/good handles and its a shame.

This is likely to be a switch mini ie made as a handheld only

That's great news for those looking for a cheaper model. I for one am holding out for the rumored upgraded model.

Question, with the rumor having no HD Rumble or joycons, ( picture above ) No Super Mario Party???🤔
unless maybe joycon support still there?

Quit spreading this bullshit.

However, if the Battery Life is still unimproved...

I would say it's great that everyone can run the same games with the same carts. I still want games from 3ds on switch and its annoying

Why have they done a mock up (as it is, you can tell from the sub-par images) without the share/screenshot button?

Nooooooo i need a Pro

How do you play Mario Party on this? what if the Controller still Drifts? if its gonna be Mini at least get rid of those atrocious Bezels

Hey look its an over sized vita

Interesting. Maybe I'll finally bite if the price is right.

Should have made it with a DS slot

The people that are buying switches use it mainly as a handheld, they arent buying switches to be a home console. This is a good move for nintendo, eventually they wont sell the docked version of the switch.

Will any version of the Switch go $199 any time soon? Then I'll buy the Switch

If this is true, it will depend on the price.

Personally I would like to buy a portable handheld only version of the Switch.

Fake. WSJ pushed this made up story.

Got no respect for WSJ since this. Liars

DPAD BIIIIIITCH!

Why would they not even mention this at E3 wtf

They are indirectly lying and everyone is still knowing something is in the making.. Does it really help the sales?

Haha I called it, a non-transformable Switch. Anyone thinking for themselves can tell the Switch price never drops because the bill of parts was too expensive. Absolutely hindered kids buying into the system, for the same reason a mainline Pokemon could only be released till now.

Now I'm just rubbing my hands at the expected future Nintendo stock earnings. I'm going to make a killing on this.

Looks like the new PS Vita.

We joke but if Nintendo prices this at $199 the it’ll be the next 3DS and obviously backwards compatible to all current switch titles.

I’d prefer a Maxi... bigger screen, bigger buttons, bigger battery, more powerful... and thumbsticks that don’t drift after a few months.

I don't get how this got approved with the massive clickbait title.

looks like crap

Eh it’s crappier than my OG Switch . I want something better not worse . Wake me up when it gets revealed

This is not the Switch I was hoping for :/ Where is the higher end model? I like to trade in mine and upgrade to a slightly beefier model, like they did with the New 3DS.

Still waiting for a Switch Pro

I can see the value in this, but just like the regular docked-controller switch, it will probably need a grip to not be uncomfortable to hold for more than 10 minutes.

I'm still more in the camp of wanting a more console focused version with more power, so maybe that will be next.

Will it have the option to back up saves?

Mockups look cool

was hoping for a more powerful version so we can finally get a Bayonetta that looks graphically better.

Guessing $200. Anyone think it will go higher or lower than that?

Would have preferred a switch pro tbh.
