Leaker Claims and Reddit Thread

The leaker's thread on Reddit, which has since been removed, was verified by moderators as authentic. The leaker states that they will reveal proof on Christmas, because the version they handled was a special game-themed edition that hasn't been widely seen.

Switch 2 Rumored Details:

  • Name: Nintendo Switch 2
  • Release Date: Mid-March 2025
  • Announcement: January 2025
  • Colors: White, Gray, and Game-themed (likely Mario Kart)
  • Joycons: Magnetic attach, button release mechanism, Hall Effect
  • USB: Two Type-C connectors
  • Screen: 8-inch LCD
  • Price: $399-499 USD (estimated)
  • Dock: Rounder design, potentially with a fan, 4K30 support

While the user couldn't power on the console, some of these details can be easily verified. The game-themed system is speculated to be related to Mario Kart 9, which the leaker confirmed as a 1st-party title.
