The Japanese console giant has been tight-lipped about its next-generation console, but leaks haven’t stopped peering into it. The Nintendo Switch 2 logo has also been leaked recently, which looks very similar to the last one.
Thanks to 91mobiles and OnLeaks, we now have high-quality renders and a 360-degree video of the highly awaited Nintendo Switch 2. The much-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 with a larger screen, bigger controllers, and several design tweaks seems to take things to the next level.
What the renders reveal
Leaks have shown an in-depth view of the new design. On top, it features a power button and volume rocker on the right, with the game card slot located on the left. This hints at the fact that Switch 2 is probably going to have backward compatibility with titles that exist in the existing Switch – a real gamer’s delight if he has an enormous library.
A 3.5mm headphone jack also makes an appearance, perfect for users who still cherish their wired headphones. Right next to it is a USB Type-C port, expected to handle charging. This addresses a common complaint with the current Switch design, which makes charging cumbersome, especially in tabletop mode. There’s also a mysterious sensor on the top—possibly an ambient light sensor.
The console has a minimalist bottom that is a central dock with guide pins on both sides and has two speaker openings on both sides of the setup. On the back of the device is a strong ‘U’ kickstand, much improved over the Switch OLED’s kickstand that itself was an improvement over the flimsy stand on the original Switch.
The Joy-Cons retain the same layout as before; there are the ‘+’ and ‘-‘ buttons, D-Pad, and sticks. But they are slightly bigger and now carry a mystical new button above the ‘Home’ button on the right Joy-Con. On the back side, there’s a new trigger button beside ‘ZL’ and ‘ZR’ to detach the Joy-Cons. The tight placement of these buttons could be an issue during gameplay.
A much larger display
According to OnLeaks, the Nintendo Switch 2 will pack a significantly larger 8.4-inch display. For context, the current Switch OLED has a 7-inch screen, and the standard Switch comes in at 6.2 inches. This is probably going to enhance the handheld gaming experience even further.
