The mock up is a little PSVita-ish. And I would've liked to see something that would still fit in the existing dock. Both of those seem like the buttons/stick/circlepad would get in the way (and the port on the lower one).

I think they look good though, and colors are a must.

Ian Sane:
Having the budget model not have detachable joycons fits the rumour about it not having HD rumble. Obviously if they're built-in you can't just connect existing rumble joycons.

Does the budget model dock or is it strict a handheld? Can you connect other controllers to it? Lots of questions about such a design.

I feel like the smart business move is make it dockable, but don't include a dock with it. Helps keep the sticker price lower on an entry model but then you can upsell kids/parents on a dock and a separate controller later once they realize they want a way to play on the tv somehow, too.

I'm curious about this bubbling up of news only because my wife has expressed interest in getting a switch of her own once Animal Crossing comes out. It'll literally be just an Animal Crossing/Stardew Valley machine for her. It'll sort of determine whether or not we get her a lite or we get the upgrade one and she uses the old one as her dedicated device.

...if they have an Animal Crossing branded little one, then it'll be a no brainer for her.

It's hard to say. If they go with the x2 or Xavier processor they can do more processing at lower power. This works for both a mini and a pro. A mini would have the power of an OG Switch without the need to dock. A pro would have even more power.

A mini might just have an HDMI port. A pro might become somewhere between Xbox One/ps4 and pro/x powered when docked. You'd still be able to Switch.

Also, interesting how nVidia treats this. PS3 had nVidia chips and it was a sluggish seller initially. Switch is selling like gangbusters. They might give some sweetheart chip deals to Nintendo over the next few years.
Maybe they'll call it Switch NX2.
