Another week, another Switch 2 leak, this time seemingly around the console’s Joy-Con controllers.
A video posted on the Chinese video sharing site Bilibili introduces the new Switch Joy-Con in detail.

The fairly low-quality footage doesn’t show much, but it does show the Joy-Cons folding rather than sliding, possibly indicating that the new attachment will be done by magnets.
Not much more is shown, but the video does feature the IR blasters found on both Joy-Cons. The original Switch only had one. It also looks like there were additional triggers previously, but it’s unclear if these are additional buttons, a release mechanism, or triggers for those who play with the Joy-Cons horizontal.
There have been many leaks about the Switch 2, especially a pretty significant one from three months ago, but the console has yet to be officially revealed and the release date is unknown.
