A significant leak regarding the Nintendo Switch 2 has surfaced, claiming that the console will be unveiled next month, and one user has seemingly had hands-on time with the console. The credibility of the leak has been supported by a third-party.
Leak Details
On Reddit, user NextHandheld claims to have seen the final version of the Nintendo Switch 2 and its dock. The unusual aspect of the leak is that at least one moderator of the subreddit has confirmed the information, albeit anonymously to protect their source. The leak also indicates that the official unveiling is expected in January.
Key details of the Nintendo Switch 2 include:
- A characteristic "2" as part of the logo, to avoid confusion with the original Switch.
- Magnetically attached Joy-Cons using Hall effect sensors.
- Compatibility with existing Nintendo Switch game cartridges.
- An LCD screen (with an OLED model possible later).
- Slightly larger sticks, buttons, and ZL/ZR triggers than the original Switch.
- A larger, curved dock with the same connections as the Switch OLED.
- A launch alongside Mario Kart 9, possibly with a special edition console.
