While Nintendo still hasn't unveiled a Switch successor, a new report says the company's next system will sport an 8-inch LCD screen and will arrive later this year. That would be the biggest display ever for Nintendo.

Omdia analyst Hiroshi Hayase is the source behind this latest info for Switch 2, according to Bloomberg. An LCD screen could also be seen as a step backward for Nintendo, since Switch OLED launched in 2021. The upgraded hybrid console features a 7-inch screen, while the original model has a 6.2-inch screen.

This latest info lines up with a report from last year that Sharp was making LCD screens for a new game console. The company was cagey at the time about the collaboration, even apparently taking down presentation slides after the fact. Meanwhile, the most popular PC handheld system just upgraded from LCD screens when Valve unveiled Steam Deck OLED in November.
