Leaker shares mounting Nintendo Switch Mini or Switch Pocket evidence, offers up release date and price predictions - eviltoast
A Nintendo Switch Mini or Nintendo Switch Pocket handheld console could be in the pipeline according to a popular X-based leaker. It seems the source has dug up numerous patents that point to a miniature Switch, although patents often lead to nothing more than the public description of an idea. However, this hasn’t stopped the leaker predicting a price and release date for a Switch Mini.

I think we all know that patents don’t usually mean anything and aren’t an indicator of a product actually coming to launch, but what do you all think of a potentially smaller, more portable Switch?

    Man, even though you didn’t actually mention it, reading your comment and seeing all the words so close together, I really want a Steam Deck Nano.

    Remote play first device with a focus on portability and first party support from Valve. I feel like the market for that is probably too small for Valve to bother, but I’m so down for that.

      I think the steam deck is as nano as I’d ever want it. It’s perfect for my (rather large) paws and it’s still light and portable. My Switch makes my hands hurt after an hour so I mostly use it docked.
