Nintendo denies the existence of the Switch Pro-totype

Nintendo issued a denial of a recent news story about the existence of the Switch Pro, saying the story “falsely claims” that the company is working on a new console when they’re not.

The report came from Bloomberg, which claimed that several game developers were in possession of development kits for a 4K console from Nintendo. Bloomberg is also the publication that really started the ball rolling on the rumors of the so-called Switch Pro, a souped-up Switch model that supports 4K, among other things. Bloomberg’s sources stated that a 4K console wasn’t due to be released by the company until late next year.
