Recently, it was revealed that Nintendo was selling a dock-free version of the Switch handheld. That’s right – purchasing the Switch Dockless Bundle will cost 26,978 yen or about $246 USD approx. That’s a decent $50 saved off the current bundle price (the Switch costs about $295 in Japan).

However, even with the appeal that such a bundle could provide, Nintendo won’t be releasing it outside of Japan. US Gamer spoke to Nintendo of America and a representative said that there are “no plans to release this configuration in the Americas.”

Which is a shame, considering all the concerns at launch about the dock scratching screens and whatnot. However, releasing a different bundle for the Switch could be confusing for some consumers, especially since the Switch is roughly older than a year. Besides, this isn’t an Xbox One and Kinect situation where fans outright hated the dock to begin and wanted it gone.

The Switch Dockless Bundle only features the Nintendo Switch Gamepad, Joy-Con (Left and Right) and Joy-Con Grips (Left and Right). What are your thoughts on seeing it release outside of Japan? Let us know in the comments.

The trailer appears to show a PS3 being operated on by machines in a labratory [0:06]. The console is twisted and turned, but what it morphs into isn’t clear. At first it appears to turn into some kind of a music station [0:12], then changes into what can only be described as a chrome toolbox [0:16].

Take a look for yourself.

After changing into some kind of an insect type thing [0:23], the screen fades to black with just the words TwistDock printed on a cube [0:28]. Finally, three messages flash across the screen; Level Up PS3, TwistDock, June 2010. We are most certainly intruiged.

While most of the editors here at GamingBolt are (fairly) sure that Sony aren’t creating a whole new PS3 that can play music, be used as a iPod dock and turn into your very own creepy metal animal, we do want to know more.
