The new Nintendo Leak has unveiled a huge Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite feature that was cut inexplicably before the former debuted in 2017. The news comes from the Nintendo Archives and courtesy of a 2014 document showing a host of details related to the original console, including its original design, which looks nothing like the final product. In addition to revealing the console’s original design, the documents reveal that Nintendo planned to include 3D video support to make the console compatible with 3D.
It’s not entirely clear if Nintendo was considering universal back support, and it’s not clear why this feature was canceled, but the document shows that Nintendo’s initial plans for the switch were either cut or changed before release. .
For example, when the Nintendo Switch ended up boasting a 720p screen, in 2014, the screen was planned to be only 480p. Again, it’s unclear why Nintendo changed its mind here, but that’s a good thing.
Meanwhile, perhaps tied to the compatibility behind the 3DS, Nintendo didn’t make up its mind if the switch would have one or two screens. Of course, to simplify the possibility of two screens, it is quite possible that 480p was on the table.
Right now, none of these details are validated by Nintendo. In other words, while the documents leave little room for suspicion, they and the information they reveal should still be taken with a grain of salt. That said, if Nintendo makes any commentary regarding the leak, we will make sure to update the story accordingly.
