Rumours about the Nintendo Switch 2 have exploded once again, with reports of photos of the device surfacing online.
The rumour mill regarding the Nintendo Switch 2 — the unnamed successor to the Nintendo Switch console — has begun spinning again, and this time, the internet has allegedly uncovered photos of the new device. This follows previous leak reports suggesting the console will use magnetic technology for detachable controllers, numerous release date speculations, Gorilla Glass patents, and even hints from Nintendo that they’re delaying the new console launch to deter scalpers when it becomes available.
On Wednesday, a new fan report surfaced online, alleging what the Nintendo Switch 2 might look like. These are stock design images of “something” that resembles the original Nintendo Switch and doesn’t deviate far from the original console formula. The alleged information comes straight from Reddit, where multiple links are listed, each showing a different stock image of what could be the next Nintendo console. It’s important to note that the leak includes specifications, making it seem more authentic. Previous reports of an 8-inch screen and magnetic Joy-Cons are also reflected in this leak.
Interestingly, the console leak suggests the new device will have “two Type-C interfaces,” which aligns with earlier reports indicating the console would have multiple interfaces. Among the leaked details, the Nintendo Switch 2 will allegedly feature 12GB of RAM, 256GB of onboard memory, and support DisplayPort to HDMI 2.1. The images also suggest Joy-Cons will have buttons positioned like a gun trigger, but aside from that and the multiple interfaces, it looks remarkably similar to the original Nintendo Switch.
Fans should keep in mind that although leaks are rampant in the gaming industry and no matter how accurate sources have been before, nothing is official until the company itself makes an announcement. While speculation is fun, fans should take every leak with a grain of salt until actual information is officially released.
