From where we talk about the famous Nintendo Switch Pro: after more than a year of various and varied reports regarding the possible existence of a more powerful console model, the rumors still do not seem ready to dry up, and this even after the announcement of the Nintendo Switch model OLED coming soon.
A new article from the Bloomberg site tells us that some developers around the world have received, from Nintendo, development kits for a console that can display a 4K resolution … Which would suggest that a more powerful console would be in the boxes of the Kyoto firm.
11 secret developers
No less than 11 studios would have received these famous development kits, essential for any developer wishing to tailor their games to the specifics of a home console. Among them, we would find some publishers who have still not taken the first step in the console games market, including the all-powerful mobile gaming specialist Zynga Inc. These development kits have the particularity of being able to display a 4K resolution, unlike the old kits of the current Nintendo Switch limited to 1080p.
Many have been waiting for the announcement of a more powerful Nintendo Switch in recent months, with a new chip with 4K capabilities and an OLED display. It was ultimately only this improved screen that was chosen for the new Nintendo Switch model to come. Scheduled for next October, the Nintendo Switch – 4K model does not benefit from any improvement in terms of hardware except for this new OLED screen offering better contrast and better image quality in mobile gaming.
Still according to Bloomberg sources, this OLED model would originally have had a new more powerful chip manufactured by NVIDIA, capable of displaying a 4K resolution. But problems with the stock of electronic components, a real plague born of the health crisis for many industries at present, would have upset the plans of the Japanese manufacturer.
We should therefore not wait for the release of a new, more powerful Switch ”before the end of next year at the earliest“Says Bloomberg – if Nintendo plans to release a model of the genre.
Nintendo denies
Nintendo was quick to deny these rumors through its official corporate Twitter account. This is the second time that the Kyoto firm has decided to respond directly to rumors concerning the possible existence of a 4K console, a few months after another Bloomberg report which suggested the release of another Nintendo Switche model. in addition to its OLED iteration.
“A report from September 30, 2021 incorrectly claims that Nintendo is providing game development tools for a Nintendo Switch with 4K support. To ensure full transparency to our investors and consumers, we would like to point out that this report is unfounded. ” can we read in un tweet posted the night of September 29 to 30. “We also want to reaffirm that, as announced in July, we have no plans for a new model other than the Nintendo Switch – OLED model, which has a release date of October 8, 2021..”
