Nikkei: Smaller and more portable Nintendo Switch launching this year

According to a new Nikkei report, Nintendo will release a smaller version of the Nintendo Switch in 2019. It will reportedly cost less for consumers to purchase, but it is also said to omit certain features to focus on the console’s portability aspect. Nikkei is reporting that Nintendo has told multiple suppliers and game developers of plans to release the smaller Switch as early as this year. Nikkei is also claiming that in addition to the Nintendo Switch Online service launched, Nintendo plans to launch a more expensive service later this year.
