Evidence of the Nintendo Switch Pro has possibly been discovered in the latest Nintendo Switch update. This week, Nintendo released the 12.0.0 update for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite. The patch notes of this update don’t reveal much, but it looks like the update is more than just what the patch notes reveal. Diving into the files of the update, dataminers have discovered references to what appear to be the Nintendo Switch Pro, the long-rumored new model that is said to be more powerful at the cost of being more expensive. So far, Nintendo has not commented or validated any of these rumors, but these files may do just that.
The Dock itself only contains USB chips, a MyDP -> HDMI converter, and flash memory to store its firmware. I’m not sure what the point of an update would be considering how basic it is inside. (As far as I’m aware, it has never received one before.)https://t.co/YaUEZaUo6b
[Nintendo Switch Firmware Update]
About my earlier tweet about update 12.0.0 being able to upgrade the dock firmware…
There is also this setting:
“is_crda_fw_update_supported”
“CrdA” = Cradle (Dock) for Aula. Aula is the codename for the new model.
