New Nintendo Switch Mini Vs Official Nintendo Switch VR

Nintendo has been killing it with the Nintendo Switch recently. However Nintendo sales reports for 2018 actually show a drop in Nintendo Switch sales.

Maybe it's time Nintendo sparked some life into the middle aged console. But how should they do that?

New reports coming out from Nikkei state that Nintendo Switch mini or micro is likely in 2019. However is this a good idea or should Nintendo focus on bringing us the Nintendo Switch VR?

Rumours of a sequel Switch have been around since the launch of the console itself. The latest rumour isn’t of a new Nintendo. It is of a smaller, more portable Nintendo Switch.

In theory a Nintendo Switch Mini, which would be easier for gamers to transport. The Nintendo Switch mini, if it does exist, could be on the way by the middle of this year.

It seems like Nintendo is hoping to expand its user base with a more affordable price tag. However, would that mean a trade off of more limited functionality?

Nintendo are probably also looking into a more portable version of the Switch to make up for decreasing 3DS and 2DS sales. But if we get a Nintendo Switch Lite does that mean we won't get a dedcated handheld console?

I hope not! I for one love the idea of Nintendo always having two consoles per generation. A main console and a handheld. Nintendo's history and excellence with handhelds warrants the Nintendo handheld consoles to exist in their own right with their own games library.

The Switch mini might ultimately dilute the success of the Nintendo Switch. Whether Nintendo would do this with a smaller, more limited Switch is debatable.

If they did make the Switch Mini more limited, what would they change? Would they remove the dock? That initially doens't sound like a smart idea as it completely takes away the home console feel of the Nintendo Switch. However, lets not forget that Nintendo took the 3D out of the 3DS! I guess the Switch Mini could still interface with your TV via a cable.

Another option for Nintendo is to make the Joy-Con controllers part of the console itself, rather than devices which slide off the sides. Again, I think this kind of defeats the point of the Nintendo Switch. I guess maybe you could still use standard Joy-Cons with the Switch Mini but that doesn't' seem as slick. This would definitely make the Switch Mini more portable though!

If Nintendo did not go down the Switch mini route then what other option are there for injecting life into the Nintendo Switch.

Nintendo Switch VR is the answer. In December 2016 Nintendo filed a patent for a VR headset which would enable the Switch screen to slot in. Kind of like a mobile VR headset but with added accelerometer.

The very idea of Nintendo Switch having a VR headset - and VR games to use with it, of course - has been a rather hot topic for debate over the console's life. Recently it may have subdued a bit. However many have expressed a desire to see it happen, Some have even gone to the lengths of creating their own homemade kits. You can find a few Nintendo Switch VR videos on YouTube.
