I'm not 100% sure, but those might be 3rd party. Licensed by Nintendo, but not manufactured by them. I've seen controllers like that in various stores, but I can't recall for sure. Check the branding on them to be sure of the manufacturer, and go from there. We only have Nintendo made controllers, so far.
Next Pokemon game(s): Pearl
Last finished Pokémon game: Shield
Other games: Skyrim Special Edition (Switch), Spyro Reignited Trilogy (Switch & PS4), Okami (Switch & PS4)
Other gaming goals: completing a Living Pokedex (minus some event Pokes) and going through at least 1 game per generation

Thanks for your response Wolf Bird. Yes, I think they were licensed by Nintendo but I will tell them to check for the manufacturer, etc.

Keep your eyes out for not one, but possibly two versions of the Nintendo Switch that may be released as early as this year. It seems one version may cost less than the regular Switch price (nearly $300.) and one version may cost more than the regular price.

https://www.foxnews.com/tech/report-che ... his-summer

Since I am one of those customers who bought a Switch console for nearly $300.00, it might make me a little bit angry to find that now there may be a cheaper version coming out. Anyone else feel this way??

And, if the $300.00 regular price is so high, how do they think customers will pay even more than that for one of these consoles??

Comments or Opinions anyone?

Again, I've seen the news in a french article yesterday.
But about what I've read, one thing has caught my attention ! The fact that one of the two models is going to be a sort of "new 3DS" ! And as I'm only playing video games on handheld devices..it interests me a lot ! :)

Sad news, but it looks like there may not be a new Nintendo Switch atleast in June at the E3, but maybe we can hope for sometime later:

Bluetooth audio support for the Nintendo Switch is available now. It remains to be seen how this will go over with video gamers as yet though.
