Despite ongoing rumours about a pro model Switch arriving at some point this year, Nintendo hasn't said anything about it. If it does exist, though, don't expect it to be released anytime soon. During the company's latest financial results briefing today, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa said there were "no plans" to launch a new Switch model in 2020.

In 2015, the fabled "Nintendo PlayStation" turned out to be a real thing, discovered in an estate sale of all places. After a whirlwind, five-year world tour, this incredibly rare, one-of-a-kind device's handlers have had enough—they are putting it up for sale.

Nintendo and Sony worked on the console in the late '80s.

Nintendo and Playstation in one console? The collaboration between the two video game giants almost happened and the prototype of the "Nintendo Playstation" is now going up for auction this March.

Nintendo is rumored to be working on a new Nintendo Switch model, and it seems like the Japanese company and NVIDIA are working for a new SoC for the console. According to a rumor circulating online, a new Nintendo Switch model could be released in the final quarter of the year. This new model will not adopt the new TegraX1+, but new custom processors Nintendo is developing with NVIDIA. The GPU will be based on the Volta architecture.

Most games cost $60 these days, and if you want to play a lot of them, that can add up quickly. It's one reason why many players turn to third-party online stores, where they can buy Nintendo games for cheap instead of buying them from Nintendo directly. Historically, Nintendo games rarely go on sale. But how many would go down that path if there was a chance that buying from these stores could result in all of your games being taken away?

Just before Christmas, a trip to Nintendo Co.’s flagship store in Tokyo would have required an hour’s wait just to get in and buy a plush Mario toy or a set of chopsticks bearing Luigi’s face. Opened in November on the sixth floor of the renovated Shibuya Parco shopping mall, the constantly packed 300-sq.-meter showcase exhibits the appeal of Nintendo’s intellectual property contrasted against the conservatism that leads it to habitually underestimate its popularity.

It looks as though the Bioshock Collection will be coming to Nintendo Switch at some point in the future, as four new BioShock ratings have popped up on the Taiwanese games rating board.

The classic oval could have changed to “a graffiti style” or something “aged up.”

The Nintendo Switch is getting two more Resident Evil ports. Nintendo and Capcom announced during a Nintendo Direct E3 2019 presentation that Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6 will be released for Switch this fall.

Mario’s maker is keeping an eye on streaming games

When most people think of Nintendo, they probably think of Super Mario and Donkey Kong and Mario Kart. They almost certainly aren't thinking of Nintendo's handheld consoles first and foremost, but maybe they should be. Those consoles — the Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS — are the company's best sellers. In fact, the Nintendo DS is the best-selling Nintendo game console ever made, with over 150 million units sold.

Last week, we broke down the evidence that Nintendo was working on a new model of the standard Switch to go alongside the recently announced, portable-only Switch Lite. Today, Nintendo confirmed the existence of that new model via product page listings that promise improved battery life over the existing Switch.

Nintendo's handheld gaming system proved to be a huge success, thanks to its durability and battery life

Dr. Mario World generated $1.4 million in player spending and was installed 7.5 million times in its first month, Sensor Tower Store Intelligence data shows.

A popular YouTube channel dedicated to sharing video game music was recently hit with over a hundred copyright claims, the latest to fall under intense scrutiny as Nintendo appears to be ramping up efforts to prevent the illicit distribution of its music.

Nintendo has kicked off its marketing campaign for Nintendo Switch Lite, in a pair of videos published on its UK and Japan YouTube channels. In the Western advert the platform holder promotes Lite as a companion device to the original Switch model, noting that the new hardware is “dedicated to handheld play.”

I’ve seen it, it’s real, and it’s a little bit like magic. The Witcher 3 runs on the Nintendo Switch – and sure it looks worse, but who cares? It fits in your pocket. That should probably be CD Projekt’s official marketing line for the Nintendo Switch version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – “Yes it looks worse, but it fits in your pocket, shut up.” What you’ve got here is a version of one of the greatest and largest RPGs of all time that’s been scaled back visually but is also uncompromised in terms of content...

Comfortable and capable, the Switch Lite is the definitive Nintendo handheld device.

Who would have believed it? The Switch that cannot actually switch is an absolute triumph - a pared back rendition of the hardware that demonstrates quite spectacularly that beyond the hybrid console functionality that defined the system, this was always a handheld at its core - and a brilliant one at that. Yes, the new model is cheaper, pared back, significantly simplified and missing some nice features, but there's the sense that having settled upon a dedicated handheld companion product, Nintendo aimed to make it the best it could possibly be. Is it perfect? No. Is it worth buying? Absolutely.
