Fresh speculation about a Nintendo Switch<\/a> Pro and a PS5 Pro has been sparked thanks to an “uncle”. (Image source: Nintendo\/Sony – edited)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\n

A Nintendo Switch<\/a> successor has been mentioned in a new social media post from a user who has been nicknamed \u201cretail uncle\u201d or \u201cbuyer uncle\u201d, but not in the form of the widely used “Switch 2” moniker. The source brings back the \u201cSwitch Pro\u201d and even more puzzlingly also includes a mention for the PS5 Pro in a now widely discussed tweet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Just as the final whispers about a Nintendo Switch Pro<\/a> console had seemingly scattered into the wind, it comes back with a surprising vengeance. Not only that, but the almost-forgotten rumored device has been mentioned in the same breath as the PS5 Pro. Because the post comes from Tamakichi<\/a> (@segamega99), who is widely believed to work as a retail buyer in the Japanese video-games industry, it has sparked a lot of discussion on forums and sites as to what it could all possibly mean. The tweet in question even ends in an appropriately highly ambiguous manner that can be machine translated as either \u201cwow, you\u2019re going to become a great manufacturer, a wholesaler\u201d (Google) or \u201cwow, manufacturer, wholesaler, I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll be a big fan of this\u201d (DeepL).\n<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t immediately discount this tweet as simply wishful thinking from the \u201cuncle\u201d (so called because of the common claim of people having an \u201cuncle\u201d that works at Nintendo, etc., providing them with leaked information), then it is open to many interpretations. It has already been reported that the PS5 Pro<\/a> might appear in late 2024, which seems a long time to wait for a Switch successor. It is arguable here that either Tamakichi simply meant a revised PS5 console, such as the one expected to arrive with a detachable disk drive (PS5 Slim<\/a>?) that could be unveiled before 2023 has finished, or it could be that the source really means Nintendo fans will have to wait until the end of next year to enjoy a next-gen Switch device release.\n<\/p>\n

The same source has recently discussed<\/a> the Switch 2\/Switch Pro, stating that the next-generation Nintendo console will have \u201cZelda, Mario, and Splatoon at launch\u201d. Yet again, this can be either interpreted as just stating what impressive IPs are already awaiting the future Switch or that new Zelda<\/i>, Mario<\/i>, and Splatoon<\/i> titles are incoming. This is possible but unlikely, as opined by a report from Gameranx<\/a>, reminding readers that Splatoon 3<\/i> was only released in September 2022 and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom<\/i> is due on May 12 this year. This could also be a hint of backwards compatibility for the Nintendo Switch<\/a> 2 or Switch Pro, but a follow-up tweet<\/a> from the buyer uncle in regard to the release of next-generation consoles simply states \u201cpending train\u201d.\n<\/p>\n

If you take the second translation from above, via DeepL, then it seems that Tamakichi is just opining that manufacturers and wholesalers are going to have a great old time when consoles like the PS5 Pro and Switch Pro come out, and there may be nothing further in it. Undoubtedly, both devices would fly off the shelves upon release, so it\u2019s stating the obvious. But if this post is an actual leak from a Nintendo \u201cuncle\u201d, it\u2019s also arguable that \u201cSwitch Pro\u201d has been used as a placeholder as nobody is really sure what the next console<\/a> from the Big N will be called. There are quite a few signs that gamers can look forward to new gaming hardware from Sony and Nintendo in 2023, but it might not<\/a> end up being the revolutionary advance that most are hoping for. <\/p>\n
