The excitement surrounding the Nintendo Switch 2 continues to grow as new leaks surface.
Recently, images of the system’s Joy-Con controllers have been shared online, seemingly coming from factory workers involved in building the new console.
The images, first posted on a Chinese website and later shared on Reddit, reveal some interesting changes to the Joy-Con design.
One of the most significant updates is the larger SL and SR buttons, which will be a welcome change for players who prefer using a single Joy-Con for multiplayer games like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
Additionally, the leaked images confirm the previously rumored color scheme with colored rails, which adds a fresh look to the controllers. A prior leak also suggested that the new Joy-Cons would attach magnetically, and these new images seem to back that up.
While these images appear authentic, it’s important to take the leaks with caution. It’s possible that these could be well-crafted fakes.
However, the controllers feature familiar details, including trademark stamps, suggesting they could be the real deal.
Nintendo is expected to officially unveil the Switch 2 between now and March 31, 2025, marking the end of its fiscal year.
The exact release date is still unknown, but rumors suggest it could arrive in the first half of the year, possibly around March, similar to the original Switch’s release in 2017.
Fans are eagerly awaiting more details, including the system’s design, pricing, and game lineup.
