Nintendo unveils new Switch hardware bundle

What's this? Some new hardware?

Nintendo has revealed new Switch hardware; however, it isn’t the sort of hardware fans were hoping for.

Much like we did before the PlayStation 5 Pro was revealed, we’re all scrambling to find details about the Nintendo Switch 2.

According to Nintendo, the new Switch won’t launch this year. Still, that isn’t stopping fans from digging online to find specs about the upcoming hardware.

So far, seriously unexpected influences seem to have impacted the design of the Switch 2, if recent leaks are to be believed.

What is more, we may already know the official name for the next console thanks to another leak circulating online.

Nonetheless, while all these leaks increase the hype surrounding the Switch 2, they don’t bring us closer to seeing the new hardware in the wild.

While this latest Nintendo unveiling isn’t for its next-gen console, it is an upgraded model of the original Switch.

For autumn, Nintendo are releasing the ‘OLED Model: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle’.

Before you say anything, we know – this is pretty underwhelming, not least of all because Nintendo has created similar bundles using the same game in the past.

Consequently, fans aren’t overly impressed.

“Wow, very creative bundle here! Never seen anything like this before!” Twitter user @RGT_85 sarcastically posted.

Other fans were less bitter about the familiar bundle being used and managed to generate some excitement about the release.

“Old faithful is returning!” commented @PaulGaleNetwork, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. But improving it with 12 months of NSO? Nice!”

There are plenty of other titles Nintendo could have paired with its OLED Switch, but here we are. At least having 13 months of Nintendo Switch Online membership helps make this deal feel a little more rewarding.

If you’re not excited about the upcoming bundle, there are other ways to enjoy your Switch this autumn; chiefly, by checking out these free downloads.

For the time being, it’s the OLED Switch or nothing at all as we continue to wait for that first look at the Switch 2.
