Switch Pro was allegedly real but was ultimately scrapped.

The most recent rumours concerning the purported update claim that although it had been in development, plans for it have been scrapped, thus anybody holding out hope that an enhanced Nintendo Switch would be published will be disappointed. For years, there have been online rumours about a more potent Switch model, but nothing ever came to pass. Given that the hybrid console debuted in March 2017, it is reasonable to assume that any plans for a mid-generation upgrade would have been scrapped in favour of starting development on the following generation.
