A leaked report from NextHandheld claims that the Nintendo Switch 2 is set to be unveiled next month, with details about its design and features now available. The console is said to come equipped with an LCD screen, magnetically attached Joy-Cons, and a larger dock that showcases more of the device’s screen.
The leak suggests that the new Switch will have backwards compatibility with existing game cartridges, as well as slightly larger sticks, buttons, and ZL/ZR buttons compared to the current model. A special edition of the console is expected to launch with Mario Kart 9, a game that was previously only available on the first generation Switch.
The leak has been confirmed by at least one Reddit moderator, who is protecting the source for reasons of confidentiality. As new hardware is typically shown in advance to accessory manufacturers, developers, and retailers, it’s not surprising that more people are being given a glimpse of the Nintendo Switch 2. The presentation is expected to take place in January.
The leak provides several clues about what to expect from the Nintendo Switch 2, including an LCD screen that could make it easy for the company to later release an OLED model. With its various design changes and backwards compatibility features, the new console appears to be a significant upgrade over the current generation of Switch devices.
