We’ve had a series of massive Nintendo Switch 2 leaks over the past few weeks, starting with DBRAND, and now we’re starting to see more from the accessory maker ahead of its unveiling early next year.
What’s consistent among the accessories is the fact that the console will be larger with an 8-inch display, which means the Joy-Con controllers will also be larger. It’s expected to connect magnetically to a button on the back for release, and the thumbstick will also feature a Hall effect stick.

Other hardware changes include a new U-shaped kickstand that’s consistent with all previous accessory drops, and a new “C” button located on the right Joy-Con. The purpose of this button is still unclear, but given that the capture button is still present on the left side, it doesn’t seem to be that button.

We know the Nintendo Switch 2 will be announced by the end of March, and Nintendo reaffirmed this at its latest investor conference, so it will be interesting to see what happens in the coming weeks and months. It’s interesting, but it seems pretty certain that everything we’re announcing so far we’ve seen.
We will continue to inform you as soon as we have further clarification.
