- A 360-degree rendering of the Nintendo Switch 2 has apparently leaked online
- The rendered footage appears to show a full look at the unreleased console
- Renders of the handheld and separate Joy-Cons are also shown
Another purported look at the Nintendo Switch 2 has reportedly leaked online, but are we really surprised at this point?
The latest apparent leak comes from OnLeaks via 91mobiles, who recently shared a 360-degree render of the Switch sequel, giving us what could be the best look at the yet-to-be-released console.
In the accompanying images from OnLeaks – who have been known to leak renders of unannounced tech in the past – we can see that the handheld is black with matching Joy-Con controllers and is said to have an 8.4-inch screen, which is larger than the Nintendo Switch OLED at 7 inches.
The power and volume buttons will be located on top of the console as well as the game cartridge slot, just like its predecessor, along with the 3.5mm headphone jack.
The device also has a USB Type-C port next to the port, which 91mobiles theorizes could be the charging port when the console is in handheld or table-top mode.
Look at
The renders also show the console’s previously leaked ‘U’-shaped kickstand, which can be used in table-top mode, while the Joy-Con appear to attach magnetically to the console and lock into place with what appears to be triggers on the back; once again a detail that was leaked last month.
Apart from being larger than the Switch Joy-Con, these Joy-Con look relatively the same as the first console with their ‘+’ and ‘-‘ buttons, D-Pad and analog stick layout. However, there is a new button below the ‘Home’ button, but it is still unclear what this can be used for.
It’s unclear when Nintendo plans to officially announce the Switch 2, but we do know that it’s expected to launch in 2025. The company has also previously confirmed that the console will be backwards compatible with the original Switch.
