Despite multiple rumors suggesting otherwise, Nintendo didn’t reveal the Nintendo Switch Pro at E3. But when can we expect to see it?
After appearing to be almost a certainty a few weeks ago, the Nintendo Switch Pro wasn’t announced at E3. Instead, Nintendo focused on showcasing upcoming Nintendo Switch games for 2021 and 2022, and that’s exactly what we got. While it wasn’t the most thrilling Nintendo Direct we’ve ever seen, it at least gave fans another glimpse of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2, which is due to release sometime in 2022, and a couple of surprises in Metroid: Dread and Advance Wars 1+2 Bootcamp. Funnily enough, despite making it clear that its E3 presentation would strictly focus on Switch games, Nintendo did actually reveal some new hardware: the Game & Watch: The Legend of Zelda console. However, the upgraded Switch that so many industry insiders and analysts had predicted was nowhere to be seen. With so many sources pointing to the existence of Nintendo’s new Switch, such as this report from Bloomberg, we’re still confident that the console is in development. Nintendo clearly isn’t quite ready to reveal it just yet, however, and E3 wouldn’t have been the best place to do so.
