Chronicling the Rumours and Nintendo's Acknowledgement
The rumor mill revolving around the Nintendo Switch successor has been buzzing incessantly for years. Initially, it was rumored to launch in 2024. The gaming giant, Nintendo, only recently acknowledged the existence of a successor. Historically, 2019 was a year rife with speculations regarding a 'Switch Pro' with an OLED display and superior internals. Although these rumors did not manifest as expected, they still led to the launch of the Switch OLED with the same internals as the predecessor but with a larger and clearer screen.
