<p>Nintendo hasn’t confirmed that a <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/guides/guide-nintendo-switch-pro-everything-we-know-so-far-4k-visuals-nvidia-tegra-and-release-date">Switch Pro</a> is happening, but we’ve certainly heard enough rumours and the company’s previous track record would suggest it will inject more power into its portable line in the fullness of time.</p>
<p>With a “Pro” model likely to include incremental improvements over the current version, the latest handheld from Chinese firm GPD – which is famous for its Windows-based handheld games machines – has us dreaming of could be possible if Nintendo <em>really</em> pushed the idea of a meatier, more potent Switch.</p>
<p>The GPD Win 3 looks a lot like a Switch – especially with that button and stick layout – but has some key cosmetic differences. The controls don’t detach from the main unit and the console’s screen slides up to reveal a keyboard – an essential feature when you consider that this is basically a tiny PC.</p>

<p>The company has released footage of the Win 3 running FromSoftware’s <strong><a class="external" href="https://www.pushsquare.com/games/ps4/sekiro_shadows_die_twice">Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice</a></strong>, which, it’s fair to say, appears to be running with some graphical detail toned down.</p>
<p>Even so, it’s an impressive showing, and indicates that there’s a lot more scope in pushing portable hardware with a new Switch model – as some have suggested, Nintendo will hopefully keep the Switch alive for years (if not decades) thanks to regular <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/10/switch_can_break_the_traditional_hardware_cycle_and_become_nintendos_iphone_says_analyst">iPhone-style hardware refreshes</a>. Who knows? We may even be playing next-gen games on the move in 2025.</p>
