Twitter user Alphabeat spotted a listing on Amazon Mexico for a "New Nintendo Switch Pro" before it was pulled.
It is possible "New Nintendo Switch Pro" is a placeholder for something unrelated, however, the listing comes amid multiple rumors and reports on an upgraded Nintendo Switch model.

One report from Bloomberg last week cites multiple sources who claim the Nintendo Switch model, being dubbed the Switch Pro, will release in September or October and assembly will start as early as July.
Another recent report says the upgraded Switch console will come with a new dock that is a little bit wider at the rear than the current one. It will include two USB 3.0 ports and an ethernet port. The console itself will be a very similar size to the original Switch. However, it will have a larger screen that will eliminate the black frames around the edge. It will also have an OLED screen, which will be of higher quality than the current LCD screen.
The second report also says it will be compatible with current Joy-Cons, as well as other peripherals. The console will also have a new stand that is described as being similar to Microsoft's Surface. It also claims there will be a lmited number of consoles available at launch compard to previous Nintendo launches.
If the "New Nintendo Switch Pro" is real and the reports are right about it coming out this year we will most likely get an official announcement in the coming weeks.

Name is likely just a placeholder
So fake. Like Nintendo would call it a switch pro.
Why wouldn't they? They call there separate controllers Pro controllers.
When I worked at Best Buy we had a bunch of listings for products without an official name yet, and sometimes even products that they just expected even if the company hadn't confirmed its existence privately or otherwise. If Nintendo is going to announce a new Switch in the near future, say at E3, it's possible that they gave Amazon enough info to set up a preorder page, but didn't want to risk the official name leaking. It's also possible that Amazon simply made a page of their own initiative in anticipation of an announcement so they'd be ready to go, and put a placeholder name. Or, it's also possible that Nintendo is releasing a new product and calling it Switch Pro.
