Coming this September, Nintendo will release a new model of the Nintendo Switch. This one will be handheld only and costs $200 ($100 less than the normal model). The new model will be much smaller than the original, but will also have a longer battery life.
Unlike the original Switch, the new model will not have removable joycons. Instead, they will be built in.
Not every game in the Switch library will be playable on the new model. Only games that can be played in handheld mode will be playable. However, there will be a compatibility controller available for purchase that will allow you to play every game in the Switch library.
The new model will be available in three colors: yellow, gray, and turquoise. When Pokémon Sword and Shield come out this November, there will be two other designs based on the game’s legendary Pokémon Zacian and Zamazenta. Along with being handheld only, the model also won’t have the HD rumble and IR motion camera features.
