a new report from the cma competition and markets authority in the uk has made reference to a secret piece of nintendo hardware and fans are speculating that it could be a switch followup consolethe report which continues the cmas investigation into microsofts activision blizzard deal mentions nintendos role in the market specifically its use of cloud gaming and nintendo switch online whats interesting is that when talking about the nintendo switchs online features it mentions that they are available on the aforementioned console as well as a secret piece of hardware that has been redacted from the documentnintendo switch online has been excluded from our shares as nintendos cloud gaming service is very limited the document reads nintendos cloud gaming service is only available on the nintendo switch device and redacted in the same paragraph the cma writes nintendo switch online gives gamers access to online play and cloud saving amongst other features we therefore see nintendo switch online as predominately an online multiplayer service rather than a cloud gaming service understandably this has let many fans imaginations run wild with speculation as demonstrated in this reddit post that the cma is making reference to a nintendo switch followup like the heavily rumored nintendo switch pro console it isnt too much of a stretch to believe that nintendo is working on a new console considering it has been making them regularly since the 1980s but whether this report has actually revealed that a new nintendo switch console is on the way is still up for debateas pointed out by ign reporter rebekah valentine on twitter theres no way of knowing exactly how much content has been redacted in that section of the report it could be a word for example insert name of a new nintendo console here or as much as a paragraph or more so dont start prepping for a new nintendo switch console just yet speaking of is a nintendo switch worth buying in 2023
