Nintendo is reportedly asking developers to make 4K-ready games, which could suggest that a new, higher-resolution console is on the way.

A Bloomberg report about Nintendo's plans to boost Switch production includes a brief mention of Nintendo's apparent request. Third-party developers have reportedly been asked "to make their games 4K-ready," which implies the company is at least considering a model of the console that can output at a higher resolution than Switch is currently capable of.

That report comes shortly after we heard rumours of a new Nintendo Switch model with a better display. Those rumours say the console is currently in production, and is due for release in Q1 2021. Rumours of a Switch Pro have been bubbling for some time, with numerous reports arriving in January suggesting that the console would launch later in 2020. Nintendo was quick to bat away these rumours, noting that they had "no plans" to launch a new Nintendo Switch model this year.

It's probably still a ways off if they're just now asking developers.


Plus, I'm sure nintendo will come up with an expansion pak style attachment you can snap on to the current switch in order to play the newer games.

I love the concept of modular add-ons.

Reminds me being a kid with all the Nintendo and Sega attachments/expansion packs.

Edt: Yes dumb, but fun at the same time.

Was wondering when Nintendo was going to kick it into high gear. Was fun playing Mario Kart with my kids on our recent flight, kept them occupied and my flight peaceful. Would buy a Switch Pro for his birthday.

I just bought a Switch from Best Buy. I've been trying for months. I can't imagine trying to buy a 4K one at release.
