Report: Nintendo planning two new Switch models

Enlarge
Nintendo has plans to release two new models of the Nintendo Switch 'as early as this summer,' according to a Wall Street Journal report citing 'parts suppliers and software developers for Nintendo.'
One model would be a higher-end system with enhanced hardware akin to the Xbox One X or PS4 Pro, though not as powerful as either, according to the report. The other would be a 'cheaper option' intended to replace the aging Nintendo 3DS, whose sales have finally started to collapse.
This cheaper Switch would reportedly cut costs by losing features such as controller vibration. That's a move which would render portions of games such as 1-2-Switch and Super Mario Party unplayable, but Nintendo 'judged the new Switch models won't need the vibration feature because there wouldn't be many games released using the full benefit of it,' according to a quoted supplier.
