As Bloomberg reports, people familiar with Nintendo’s plans have stated manufacturing of the new hybrid console is set to start in July followed by a release in September, although it may be delayed until October. The current models include a $199 Switch Lite and $299 Switch, but it’s thought the new model will command a higher price mainly due to the upgraded components it uses, which also suggests it will have a new name such as the often suggested Switch Pro.
