Reports about new hardware versions for the Nintendo Switch have been a dime a dozen of late. As reports go, Nintendo has two new Switch models in the pipeline- a smaller, cheaper model to replace their dying 3DS, and a more powerful hardware upgrade. In the wake of Nintendo announcing their distribution deal with Tencent, which will see them entering the Chinese market – a deal that has seen the company’s stocks soar – a new report has emerged on Bloomberg that suggests that the Japanese manufacturer wants to keep this momentum going. One of the ways it’s going to do that is by introducing new hardware variations of the Switch to drive up sales.

Anonymous sources have told Bloomberg that a cheaper model of the Switch is imminent, and will be out as soon as by the end of June. Meanwhile, Nintendo also has a more powerful Switch in the pipeline- though that’s being touted as “a modest upgrade” rather than a significant one, and that, too, will be out by the end of the year. A more powerful version of the Switch beyond that, though, is allegedly not part of Nintendo’s plans, contrary to recent reports.

While new models of the Switch have been in the rumour mill for months now, what those new models will be and what exactly they will bring with them by way of upgrades or changes is something that we keep hearing new things about with every new report. For now, it’s hard to be sure about any of it – maybe other than the fact that at the very least there will be new Switch hardware down the line. Stay tuned to GamingBolt for more updates as they come our way.

When they announced a new season for Dragon Ball FighterZ, Bandai Namco also announced a brand new action RPG in the Dragon Ball franchise that is set to launch this year. So far, they have yet to share details, but a new tweet made by the game’s official account gives us some idea of what to expect from it regardless.

The game will be set in a “never before expressed, nostalgic, and new Dragon Ball world”, apparently, which to me seem to be three totally irreconcilable adjectives. But we’ll see, maybe it somehow manages to be all three. We also got a new picture that may be concept art for the game attached to the tweet, which seems to be reminiscent of the classic Dragon Ball anime.

Whatever the game is, we should learn more about it at the World Tournament for Dragon Ball FighterZ that will be held later this month. Hopefully we get the kind of ambitious console RPG set in the franchise’s world that fans have been dreaming of for years.
