The Switch Pro (which is definitely the name they&#8217;ll pick for it) is, according to this leak, coming on the 23rd April , with 4K support, Bluetooth audio support, a 256GB memory, and a &#8220;Dock Pro&#8221;. What could a Dock Pro be? Maybe it&#8217;s just bigger than before. Or shinier. The Switch Pro will cost $399 (around \u00a3300), according to the document &#8211; that&#8217;s a steal, if true. And it&#8217;s definitely true.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"picture strip\"><a title=\"Leak part one\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/769d8c3683c4f\/leak-part-one.original.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' viewBox='0 0 900 492'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" width=\"900\" height=\"492\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/769d8c3683c4f\/leak-part-one.900x.jpg\" alt=\"Leak part one\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>Meanwhile, on the software side of things, we&#8217;ve got a whole host of much-awaited sequels: <strong>Super Mario Odyssey 2<\/strong>, <strong>Splatoon 3<\/strong>, <strong>Bayonetta 3<\/strong>, a new <strong>Metroid<\/strong>, new <strong>Kingdom Hearts<\/strong>, new <strong>Fire Emblem<\/strong>, and <strong>Mario Kart 9<\/strong>. It&#8217;s almost like someone made a list of all the games we&#8217;ve been yelling about on social media for a while. How weird!<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s also a new game called &#8220;<strong>Nintendo World: Park Tour<\/strong>&#8221; which will presumably tie in nicely with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2020\/11\/super_nintendo_world_will_open_february_2021_new_images_and_mario_kart_ride_detailed\">opening of the Super Nintendo World theme park<\/a>. What would a park tour game entail, exactly? We don&#8217;t know, but we really hope it&#8217;s like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CW3cynv-IDQ\">PC <strong>Legoland<\/strong> game<\/a>.

These games are also listed as being available on the base Nintendo Switch, but as &#8220;Cloud Versions&#8221; (aren&#8217;t all versions of FF7 the &#8220;Cloud Version&#8221;?) which isn&#8217;t a bad guess, considering that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/reviews\/switch-eshop\/control_ultimate_edition_-_cloud_version\"><strong>Control<\/strong> managed it pretty well<\/a>.

We&#8217;re also not saying this is a little too good to be true, because sometimes Nintendo just releases every game we&#8217;ve been asking for all at once, right? That&#8217;s definitely happened before, hasn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n<p>Hmm. Maybe this list isn&#8217;t real after all. We do love getting a sneak peek into upcoming Directs, but it looks like this one has just too many red flags to be trustworthy. As always with leaks, be suspicious.
