#SEQUEL PRO REPLACEMENT UPGRADE#

Nintendo has only ever brought such a massive upgrade to the 3DS family of systems, but rumblings of a Switch Pro seem to be changing that.Īlthough rumors and supposed leaks are all that fans have to go off of so far, the possible upcoming Switch revision is shaping up to be a very similar upgrade to that of the New 3DS. This version of the console was a full-on upgrade, adding improved processors and RAM, a brand-new C-Stick nub, the addition of the ZL and ZR buttons, eye-tracking 3D, built-in NFC, and perhaps most importantly, exclusive New Nintendo 3DS titles, like Xenoblade Chronicles 3D and Fire Emblem Warriors. Just as the 3DS received a more affordable version of the system in the 2DS, it received a major console revision in the New Nintendo 3DS in 2014. But, aside from the Switch Lite releasing in the same year that the 3DS got its final first-party games, how does this all tie into the 3DS line of systems?

Where portability was once a nice option and a nice perk, it is now the standard with the Switch Lite. However, the creation of the Switch Lite had much larger implications for the Switch, essentially cementing it as not only Nintendo's flagship home console, but its major handheld console as well.

On the surface, the Switch Lite seems simply like a logical step: reach a wider market by making the hit console more affordable, appeal to more casual gamers with a handheld-only format, and improve its battery-life to better fit its portable nature. While docking the system to play it on the big screen all fine and dandy, the Switch's portability is one of its major selling points, so much so, that Nintendo decided the Switch Lite was a necessary iteration. And while the Switch existed alongside the 3DS for a few years, Nintendo has seemingly poured all of its resources into the Switch now, making it the go-to console for both home and handheld gaming for many fans.

First, it's important to view the Nintendo Switch for what it is. The Switch is most known for being what the Wii U couldn't, a hybrid handheld-home gaming console.
