A mysterious case manufacturer in China has sent a 3D printed prototype of the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 console to YouTube channel SwitchUp, sparking excitement among Nintendo fans. The mockup appears to be highly detailed and accurate, with some notable features including an expanded screen size, USB-C port, and cartridge slot.
According to reports, the Chinese company claims to have access to the final design templates for the console, which explains why the 3D printed prototype is so precise. The SwitchUp video also shows that the Joy-Con controllers will feature a larger screen, longer curved edges, and an additional button on one of the right-hand units.
Nintendo’s official announcement regarding the Switch 2 has not been made yet, but recent job postings and leaked information suggest that backwards compatibility with Nintendo Switch games is likely. The console’s release window remains uncertain, with some reports citing a possible launch in March or April 2025.
Notable details include:
* Expanded screen size compared to the O-LED model
* Addition of USB-C port on top of the console
* Cartridge slot similar in size to the Switch
* Smaller volume buttons and headphone jack in an ergonomic location
Stay tuned for more updates on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 console as this story continues to unfold.
