It seems that the Kyoto company is not in too much of a hurry to announce the more than expected successor to its super successful console, because this morning through a press release and information on its social networks, Nintendo announced a new model for the Nintendo Switch, one that laptop lovers will surely love and that of course takes us back to the era when the Game Boy Advance was saying goodbye definitively with a product that was somewhat misunderstood at the time.
The Nintendo Switch Micro has been announced, which will have an OLED screen of just 2.9 inches, making it the smallest portable console on the entire market. Its resolution will be 720p as in previous models. Something that will surely be a problem for more than one is that due to its very small size, the new Switch will not have a slot to insert physical games, so everything will be in digital format.
“The truth is that we see our players very anxious about what the Switch 2 will be, and we thought it would be more fun to launch another model of our current console, only to see how they got angry on social networks. It amuses us greatly to see your reactions every time we make an announcement and it’s not about the successor to the Switch. Don’t change, you make us laugh a lot,” said a representative after the announcement.
The Nintendo Switch Micro will be on sale next December 31 at a super attractive price of $99, just to close this intense 2024. At the moment no further specifications were given about the console, but from what we see in its first image , anyone with large hands is going to have a big problem being able to hold it correctly. Likewise, it is expected that all the colors in which it will be available will be announced shortly. There is already talk of a special edition to celebrate the company’s 135th anniversary, which just happened this year.
What about the price in Mexico?
The Nintendo distribution chain for our region did not waste time and quickly published a document in which it speaks directly about the price at which the Nintendo Switch Micro will arrive in Mexico. At the outset, we can tell you that despite the very low price it will have in the United States and other markets, here we will have to open our wallets to be able to have it day one.
“The new Nintendo Switch Micro will be sold at a suggested price of $10,000 pesos. Yes, we already know that $99 dollars is not that amount in national currency, but you already know that whenever a new Switch comes out, we have to sell it for $10 thousand pesos, eventually they will pay for it. If you don’t like it, we recommend waiting for Korean versions to arrive on Amazon a few weeks later with truly amazing discounts,” it was communicated to all the media.
Well there you have it. Of course, this is just a little April Fool’s Day joke, don’t hate us. Although the truth is, the idea of a Nintendo Switch Micro would be quite interesting, don’t you think? We hope you have a happy December 28 and of course, a great new year. 2025 looks to be crazy and I hope you can join us as always on this journey.
