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!

  1. I am somehow reminded at the disappointment that was the HGSS release in the Benelux. I would walk into to the store to pick up my preorder only to be greeted with: “Sorry, there’s been a production fault with all the cartridges resulting in failing save games, all games have been recalled and will be delivered at later unknown date.” I really was crushed for over a week.

  2. I feel like that with the Z weather moves, it can help out with a lot of Pokemon in becoming weather sweepers and also letting them shine for once. Like with Arcanine, it can be like a bulky fast attacker due to Morning Sun and Z-Sunny Day. And even Castform, like the set I used a week ago made it perform very well in PU.

  9. Okay fun new game: Try to describe how I look. Hair color / hairstyle, eye color, height, face shape and overall build. If someone gets it right I will post a real picture of myself.

    I’m mostly curious how people imagine me on the internet.

  10. So, Sophocles is leaving the gang in episode 26. I’ve theorized that they’re slowly working towards an Island Challenge for Ash and are now starting to prepare the trial captains. Sophocles is the first to go and my guess is that Lana will follow (the two least favourite characters so far) and the others will come after that.
