A mysterious video posted online appears to show the Nintendo Switch 2’s new design, fueling speculation among fans about the console’s features and release date. The footage, which is of poor quality, suggests that the Switch 2 will retain some key elements from its predecessor while introducing changes.
The man in the video can be seen removing a joycon from the side of the screen by pulling it off, revealing infrared sensors on both sides of the controller. The right shoulder button appears to be larger than the left, which aligns with previous leaks about magnetic joycons and a more complex design.
However, it’s unclear whether this footage is genuine or fabricated using leaked information from prior reports. Nintendo has confirmed that an official announcement for the Switch 2 will arrive before April 2025, but details on its specs remain scarce.
The console is expected to be backwards compatible with existing games, and Nintendo Switch Online will carry over to the new system. At least one game has been announced for the Switch 2, although no further information about it is available.
While the footage provides a glimpse into what the Switch 2 might look like, its authenticity is uncertain, and much remains unknown about the console’s release date and specs.
