One of the most persistent and believable rumours of the last few months is that Nintendo has been developing a new version of the Switch intended to offer up a better screen, a smaller design for greater comfort and also improved WiFi functionality.

Whether it's called the Switch XL, the Switch Pro or something else entirely, releasing it shortly after the Xbox Game Pass announcement makes a ton of sense, especially if it indeed includes enhanced WiFi.

Every semi-credible leak points to the revision landing in the second half of 2019, probably just in time for the release of Pokémon Sword and Shield. But Nintendo being Nintendo, they probably won't bother fixing the head-smackingly awful placement of the USB-C port.
