Renders and disassembled parts of possible Switch 2 leak online

Hambrew · Sep 20, 2024

You know what I kinda wonder now that I think about it?
Does the left joy-con have feature parity with the right joy-con? (it looks like it'll get the IR sensor, no clue about NFC)

I wanted a new console type, seems like it's "New 3DS" all over again for Switch... Assuming this is real, of course.

Thought many of you should've seen something similar to this by now:

Yesterday saw a post stating that this "leak" was a prototype made by an "enthusiast" working in his diy console or something along the lines, can't remember which subreddit was that (and my reddit history is basically porn...so won't find it again)... thus not quite official.

Wouldn't that make sense?

If this leak was official, Nintendo would've taken immediate legal actions by now. Remember when there was a mod for Palworld that basically turned the game into Pokemon with guns? (and literally you played as Ash)... it got taken down in it's entirety 2 hours after the fact.

Why would this leak be the exception?

I'm calling this fake. And y'all better wait till late December or early 2025 for an official announcement.

Theoretically, it can go above 2TB but it will take a while to get there, probably in a few years or by the time the revision releases. The initial batches will probably be at 256gb.

The problem is that they insist on NAND instead of NVME.

Regular switch devkit has 6gb and OLED has 8gb

Maybe the consoles are different, but the handheld devkits were on par with retail units or slightly weaker. I know the DS one was a lot more powerful (comparatively) but that monstrosity utilized proprietary emulation.

If the devkits for the Switch have 1.5-2x the RAM, maybe that's one of the reasons so many games run like crap.

usually dev kits have more ram to account for the debugging software running on top and the fact the builds have debug symbols

Interesting "trigger" placement.

The triggers look normally placed. are you talking about the buttons under it?

The renders show the device from all angles and even comparison shots with the original Switch are included. The most notable changes are the large 8 inch screen and two USB Type-C ports on the top and bottom of the device.

I've seen someone on another platform claim to make the renders. They seem easy to fake, since anyone can make a CAD file. It looks like someone just modeled out some new Joy-cons to attach to an OLED switch

I think it's a decision based on power constraint. Based on the photo, Switch 2 will sport a 20WH battery. The steam deck has double that.

Could be but I doubt it, why the hell would someone go all the way and make their own project have Nintendo style features like the player indicator and +/- and the IR on the joycon. That's just asking for trouble from the ninjas.

That ZenDeck guy is making his own console but that features his own design language and not Nintendo's for example

Plus it has that rumoured magnetic attachment rail.

If nintendo go after this then it would cause a Streisand effect.

I think it's real and to quote the X Files, I want to believe

so is this upgared switch or a new console.
I expected a new console after 7 years not another revision. Disapointed.

Nintnedo being nintendo, stingy with hardware and memory and sueing people. Nothing new here.
I WAS expecting a NEW console and not another hardware revision of Switch.
Pathetic if true (i would still buy it though but pathetic non the less).

Not sure what you're honestly expecting, did you really think Nintendo was gonna try to squeeze the power of a PS5 into a handheld? Do you REALLY think that would realistically have great battery life? Or that it's even possible to scale down tech like that at a reasonable price in 2024?

I wasnt expecting anything from nintendo, thats why im saying this.
Just a usual nintendo BS.
Also, the name and console is unoriginal, something that Nintendo is not known for.
Each new console im excited about what they will release. This is the only time i'm not (if this is true).

not gonna lie, this is probably the one time were i actually preferred that Nintendo played it safe, and i think a lot of people can agree with me here

the Switch is like the only time where their silly gimmick every gen was actually practical for once, why NOT build off that? Especially if it'll be backwards compatible with countless other games from it's previous library

I don't need Nintendo ruining their next system forcing something stupid like a tablet or motion waggle that's just gonna get in the way of making great games or turn off third-party devs. And I'd rather not make them try to play catch up with the big boys and spend a decade making only 3 first-party AAAA titles that cost billions of dollars

NGL, I would have loved a clamshell design similar to this, with with detachable Joy-Cons, and a dock like this and etc. But I'm probably the only one.

CaptainHIT · Saturday at 7:52 PM

That thing needs a nvme Storage port. I'd throw a neat 2TB nvme in it right when i get my hands on the bad ass console.

kcmando · Sunday at 2:12 PM

256GB? Wow i'll be able to fit 5 games now instead of 3 thanks nintendo
