Nintendo Might ‘ Already Be Working On A New Switch Lite’ 2 October 2019 by Lara Jackson It seems as though Nintendo might already be working on a new version of the Nintendo Switch Lite, despite the handheld console launching just a month ago. Digital Trends has spied something very interesting by way of some documents filed by Nintendo with the Federal Communications Commission, suggesting a new version of the Switch Lite is coming.

Where the Switch Lite used “BKEHDH001,” the new filings from Nintendo read “BKEHDH002,” indicating a version two of the previous model. ADVERT ADVERT Of course, this is all speculation for now, but it makes sense considering some of the backlash the Switch Lite has received so far. Credit: Instagram/Nintendo The recently-launched Nintendo Switch Lite has gotten mixed reviews thanks to it seemingly using the same Joy-Con design as the regular Switch – meaning drifting Joy-Cons could be a problem. If this is the case, it’s going to be a much harder fix than replacing just the Joy-Cons, as the Switch Lite doesn’t use detachables and instead has them fixed to the screen. It’s definitely a strange move to release an updated console so quickly after the first, and if this is really what’s happening then Nintendo might have some very angry new Switch Lite owners on its hands…ADVERT ADVERT Credit: Instagram/nintendoswitcheurope As always, take this rumour with a grain of salt until we hear otherwise from Nintendo.
