RUMOR: Nintendo Developing Handheld-Only Switch Mini?

The Nintendo Switch is a hot commodity and has exceeded sales expectations across the board. Bloomberg has published speculation by analysts that a new variation of the home console could remove the docking feature and solely be a handheld gaming device.

Citigroup Inc. […] expect the Kyoto-based company to release a smaller version of the Switch in the fiscal year through March 2019, according to analysts including Minami Munakata, Kota Ezawa and Alicia Yap. — Via Bloomberg

Interesting speculation which may mean a lot for Pokémon fans if a main franchise title does indeed end up on the Nintendo Switch.

If there were a handheld-only version though, would it defeat the purpose of the “Switch”? Weigh in below!

  5. so out of the blue, i really hope we get the next installment of PMD soon, the itch strikes hard and fast
    this time with an Alola cast, but where could they go from Super Mystery Dungeon?
    i kinda wish they let you be more then just Starters, but not like everything
    if i could only give 10

    Rowlet
    Litten
    Popplio
    Rockruff
    Fomantis….
    Maybe A. Vulpix
    Crabrawler could work but i dunno
    ok the Alola National dex sucks with decent pokemon that could be playable that aren’t op or along the lines

    and moreover a plot
    Natural Disasters, Time Stopping, planet wide animosity, and now dark matter, i mean what could work? Eternal night and Day? Ultra Space aliens? or a great prophecy

    • Hmmm…
      Your options work out very well, they could be contenders for it. I think for the last two it would be Stufful and Alolan Meowth

    • Red/Blue Rescue Team: Rescuers
      Explorers of Darkness/Time/Sky: Explorers
      Gates to Infinity: “Paradise” cultists
      Super Mystery Dungeon: Persona classmates…then explorers again

      I kinda want a PMD game where you join a detective agency instead and solve mysteries around the area with Gumshoos is the head detective

  6. So pretty off topic, but figured I’d tell some of our over watch and other blizzard game players that if they ever had any interest in hero of the storm you should download the game and log in on the 25 this month. Their giving away 20 free characters in various bundles to everyone and I think some of the over watch characters are in them like Tracer.

    • Here’s what the bundles are if anyone cares.

      The Assassin Bundle contains: Alarak, Chromie, Falstad, Greymane, Gul’dan, Kael’thas, Kerrigan, Li-Ming, Lunara, Nazeebo, Nova, Raynor, Sylvanas, The Butcher, Tracer, Tychus, Valeera, Valla, Zeratul, and Zul’jin.

      The Support & Specialist Bundle contains Abathur, Auriel, Brightwing, Chen, Dehaka, E.T.C, Johanna, Kharazim, Li Li, Lt. Morales, Lucio, Malfurion, Medivh, Muradin, Rehgar, Stiches, Tassadar, Tyrael, Uther and Zarya.

      The Tank & Bruiser Bundle contains Alarak, Anub’arak, Artanis, Arthas, Chen, Diablo, Dehaka, Illidan, Kharazim, Leoric, Muradin, Ragnaros, Rexxar, Samuro, Sonya, Stiches, Thrall, Varian, Xul and Zarya.

      Finally, the Flex Bundle contains Abathur, Arthas, Azmodan, Brightwing, Diablo, E.T.C, Greymane, Johanna, Kerrigan, Li Li, Li-Ming, Lt. Morales, Nazeebo, Rehgar, Rexxar, Sylvanas, The Lost Vikings, Tychus, Varian and Zul’Jin.

      you simply get to pick one of them for free and get the 20 characters in that bundle. And the games free to play, so it might be worth doing just to have something to play when you have nothing else to do.
