Nintendo's rumored plans to produce a revised Nintendo Switch model picked up steam on Thursday with a tantalizing bit of new information. Last year's rumor mill simply predicted a new model could arrive in 2019, but a Japanese report has narrowed fans' expectations based on its sources' intel: Nintendo may have a new SKU with portability and price, not power, in mind. (And the news outlet uncovered one other possible "service" to come as well.)
The report from official stock exchange news outlet Nikkei.com (helpfully translated by Nintendo Everything) cites a combination of hardware partners and game developers who all suggest the next Switch model will be "miniaturized." The resulting system will reportedly emphasize "portability" and "playing outside," and it will "cut features" to bring the retail price down.
Nikkei's report does not include more specifics, which still leaves plenty of questions about this rumored SKU. If we add up the details offered by Nikkei, though, we can guess that one of its cut features might be the removal of a bundled Switch TV Dock; this product can currently be purchased separately at an MSRP of $89.99. Cutting that combination of chipset, plastic mold, and increased box size and weight would be the easiest way to reduce the system's current $299.99 MSRP.

And I also preordered some game where you play as an old lady with a little farm. It looks like an arty game which can be hit or miss but you can apparently breed goats so I'm sold.
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
Look at this guy, with his scrubby USB hub made outta platinum and gold.
All the good switches came with artisanally crafted adamantite and mythril.
This soul system is really neat and might be the extra bit of RPG stuff I needed to make Castlevania fully engaging
The souls system was so much fun, trying for the rarer souls and testing different combos
Single player is a slog, since stuff doesn't really get any less HP than multi it seems.

Huh?!
This will be here until I receive an apology or Weedlordvegeta get any consequences for being a bully
also, why bother since there are only 3 or 4 games that are cross console compatible?
Nintendo's been open recently to letting people use their own authentication / SSO mechanisms. Offering an SDK framework that supports that makes sense. I doubt Nintendo will let them stream games, or open up their app store or something.
Is Nintendo seriously outsourcing all of the actual 'online' functions not included in their online service?
EDIT: Though honestly if Microsoft is looking to mostly get out of the console biz but tries to create a true cross-platform online infrastructure, that would probably be pretty cool.
I feel pretty confident in saying Nintendo's online service will not run through Microsoft's XBL infrastructure. This would just be connecting your existing Live account to get certain Live features, the way you can with your PC currently. Potentially it would let you do multiplayer in cross-platform games via XBL instead of Nintendo's online if you wanted, but it's almost certainly not going to apply to Nintendo's own games.
Like, Xbox Live isn't just the Xbox multiplayer infrastructure, it's an entire service separate from that.
gotcha
I haven't had live in about a decade so I really don't remember too much about it
Oh man that would be dope as fuck
I doubt it will go beyond cross play and being able to use the social features of Live
I am VERY doubtful it would happen but also there’s some pc games you can do it with so I can dream.
I actually rage quit a level the other day because of that. You start with a handful of units and have to capture your way to having a base then fight a battle on two fronts and I just did not have the amount of units alive to do so.
