Thanks to a new product line from Honson, it appears Switch Mini is possibly still in production.
Not too long ago, we covered the rumor that a Nintendo Switch Mini is possibly in the works. There was a report from Nikkei that Nintendo was producing a tiny version to the Switch that would be more portable as well as more affordable. Until now, nothing else has really surfaced that points in the direction of this rumor. It looks like we might actually get one before the release of some of the major titles covered at this years E3, like Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Super Mario Maker 2.
But, if you head over to the official Honson website, you will see that their top category for their accessories is currently “Nintendo Switch Mini”. Currently for sale you will find screen protectors and clear protection cases for the console itself. Also for sale is an array of carrying cases for the console in question.
It appears that Nintendo has released the measurements of the new device to accessory makers ahead of the release of the console itself. The mock-up in the images is just that, but may indicate at least to some extent what the new console will actually look like.

It’s DEFINITELY still coming, imo. I think it may even be released by the time Pokemon is out. We all know they’re going to do alternate versions of the Switch sooner or later, cuz that’s just what Nintendo does. I think there will be a ‘Switch Pro’ version as well, as rumoured, but I think the Mini will come first to give more opportunity to people to buy a Switch for every family member, so that they don’t have to share (I would really hate sharing when it comes to Animal Crossing, that’s for sure…I want complete control over my island with no other players interfering.)

Yeah, we were thinking it might take as long as beginning of next fiscal year, as it seems that’s how Nintendo makes a lot of their decisions. Like how New Horizons comes out at that exact time.
