Rumors about the release of the Nintendo Switch Mini have been circulating for a while now. The Japanese company has yet to confirm this hardware revision, but there have been hints that its production may have gone into full swing.

Taiwanese Chip Supplier Macronix, which provides chips for Nintendo, recently confirmed that the Japanese company has ordered more chips in the past 2 months than expected. Macronix also noted how such high demand is very unusual, as the first and second quarter are usually quiet months from the company. The huge demand seems to hint at the fact that the chips are required for the production of the Switch Mini.
