Coming off the Nintendo Switch’s second birthday<\/a>, the much-beloved console playable at home and on-the-go will be getting two new models.<\/p>\n

According to an article from The Wall Street Journal<\/a>, the Nintendo Switch will receive two new models later this year. The first new model is a beefed-up version for more hardcore gamers<\/strong> who want to play with the same graphic capabilities of systems like the PS4.<\/p>\n

The second model is supposed to be cheaper<\/strong>, more focused on the Switch’s handheld aspect and possibly a replacement for the Nintendo 3DS. The second model also will not have some of the features of the original Nintendo Switch (for example,\u00a0that model wouldn’t have vibrating controllers).<\/p>\n

Nintendo is expected to announce the new systems this June at E3<\/a>, and the consoles are expected to be released this summer prior to the release of “Pok\u00e9mon Sword,” “Pok\u00e9mon Shield”<\/a> and “Animal Crossing.” This will be the first E3 for Doug Bowser, the new president and COO of Nintendo, after the retirement of Reggie Fils-Aim\u00e9 back in February.<\/p>\n

Nintendo ran out of the gate this year with several games announced in February’s Nintendo Direct<\/a>, and the long-awaited eighth generation of Pokemon<\/a> announced two weeks later.<\/p>\n
