For years, some fans have wondered if Nintendo had any intention of making a successor to its Switch console. The company has denied claims of a 4K-capable Switch Pro, but it looks like a successor is being considered. At the least, sources claim that there's proof of this.

The pandemic has resulted in many staying indoors more. This also means that products like Nintendo Switch have become super popular. And one of the best things about this console is the free games you get as a Switch Online member. Well, that library of retro games will be expanded.

If you own a Nintendo Switch, you probably know how sub-par the Joy-Cons are. The buttons don't feel solid enough, are tiny, and the drifting problem on the analogue sticks is annoying. But while it might not be an upgraded Joy-Con, Nintendo could be working on a new controller.

Sony's next-gen PlayStation 5 (PS5) console went up on pre-orders yesterday (and quickly sold out, yikes!), so many of us look forward to 4K gaming now. But if your main display is a 1440p monitor, you'll end up having to game in 1080p. Fortunately, MSI has a solution for its monitors.

Back when Nintendo denied the possibility of a new Switch console in 2020, many fans were left disappointed.

Now, a new rumour suggests that Nintendo is in fact in the early stages of development for what could be a Switch Pro.

With the Sony PlayStation 5 (PS5) launching this year, many have wonder if we can reuse our PS4 controllers or accessories on the PS5.
