TLDR:
Update: Nintendo has officially replied to the 4k Rumored Switch HERE
- 11 Companies have access and the tools to make 4k Switch Games
- Many of these devs are surprised with the access given with the software toolkit.
- These 11 companies span the globe and range from big to small studios
- A system for 4k capabilities is not expected to launch until late next year at earliest.
- Nintendo responded to a list of question by Bloomberg claiming that it's "inaccurate" and declined details.
- The lack of 4k support puts the next months release of OLED in a clear technical disadvantage.
- Developers have declined to speculate on Nintendos plans.
- Toshipba Corp has confirmed that they're fully booked to 2025 when it comes to components, perhaps that has something to do with the lack of a release.
- One of the Nintendo Assemblers feels confident they can meet demand but supply will be short even of a release is set.

A news report on Sept. 30, 2021(JST) falsely claims that Nintendo is supplying tools to drive game development for a Nintendo Switch with 4K support. To ensure correct understanding among our investors and customers, we want to clarify that this report is not true. (1/2)
We also want to restate that, as we announced in July, we have no plans for any new model other than Nintendo Switch – OLED Model, which will launch on October 8, 2021. (2/2)
