Exciting rumors are swirling around the Nintendo Switch 2, suggesting significant improvements to the Joy-Con controllers and the potential arrival of major third-party titles. Here's a summary of the latest buzz.
Hall Effect Sticks in New Joy-Cons
According to a recent teardown by NextHandheld, the new Joy-Con controllers for the Nintendo Switch 2 will reportedly feature Hall effect sticks. This technology should prevent the stick drifting issues that have plagued the original Nintendo Switch controllers. This would be a welcome change for users and a potential trend-setter for console controllers.
Special Edition and Mario Kart 9
The rumor mill also suggests a special edition of the Nintendo Switch 2 is in the works. This special edition is expected to be bundled with a ninth entry in a first-party series – likely Mario Kart 9. Keep in mind, the leaker also suggested that the title may not have a numeral in the final name.
Third-Party Games: Microsoft's Investment
Microsoft seems to be heavily invested in bringing games to the Nintendo Switch 2. In addition to previously mentioned titles like Microsoft Flight Simulator and Halo: The Master Chief Collection, a new video by eXtas1s claims that the following will be ported to the new Nintendo console:
- Diablo IV
- A Call of Duty Game
- Fallout 4
- Starfield
It's important to remember that these details are based on rumors and leaks and not official announcements from Nintendo or Microsoft. However, if true, these developments could make the Nintendo Switch 2 a highly desirable gaming platform.
