Nintendo is recently planning to release an upgrade of the Nintendo Switch in early 2021. The company is targeting to boost computing power and 4K visuals with the new device. There have been several rumors about upgraded versions of the Nintendo Switch.
The Nintendo Switch Lite will be a much smaller and portable version of the original Nintendo Switch that was released last year. Still, Nintendo traditionally released different versions of the consoles, particularly in its handheld lineup. Nintendo also stealthily released varied versions of the original Switch with enhanced battery life, though they weren’t marketed or sold as a new model product.
4K Nintendo Switch
Nintendo so far sold more than 60 million units of the Nintendo Switch, and the machine is still fast like pancakes. Though there isn’t a definite reason for Nintendo to release an upgraded version of the upgrade that does happen, it would be similar to the upgrades Nintendo did with consoles like the DS and 3DS. These consoles are almost the same but provide a power boost to existing and future console games.
Upgraded Nintendo Switch
Nintendo is also planning many new games and the lineup, which is why 2020 has been relatively bare for Switch releases. According to a report, the new console wouldn’t be assembled until 2021, as Nintendo is focusing on making new units of the Switch and Switch Lite.

Switch two specs and design
As the Nintendo Switch Lite features similar internal hardware like the existing Switch, Switch 2 will upgrade and impress impressive specifications. The device has 8GB RAM, which is double that of the current console, and the on-board storage will be upgraded to 128GB. The present Switch has only 32GB of storage and requires a micro SD card to store more than one game.
Switch 2 will also support 4K output and a 1080p display. The TV’s 4K output will also be there to give a tough competition to the upcoming PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
The games for the new Nintendo Switch can also be played on the existing Switch and vice versa. Backward compatibility is something that Nintendo usually tops at, with different versions of GameBoys and DS consoles all being backward compatible.
