Nintendo Switch 2’s Joy-Con controllers have surfaced online, revealing significant changes from the current models. Initially spotted on Chinese social media and later shared on Reddit, these images offer a glimpse of what’s ahead for Nintendo’s next console.
What’s Different About These Joy-Cons
The leaked photos reveal a shift in color; the Joy-Cons are predominantly black, with blue only visible on the rail connecting to the console—providing a more mature aesthetic compared to the familiar bright red and blue.
The images showcase both the inside and back of what appears to be the left Joy-Con. For those who enjoy playing games like Mario Kart with a single Joy-Con, the SL and SR buttons are now noticeably larger.
The most significant change is that these Joy-Cons no longer slide onto the console but attach magnetically. A new button next to the ZR trigger likely allows for easy detachment. This could simplify connecting and disconnecting the controllers, though we’ll need to see how strong the magnets are in practice.
How Real Are These Photos?
The photos contain details typical of genuine Nintendo products, such as trademark stamps and serial numbers, indicating they are not mere mock-ups.
Additional information about the Switch 2 has emerged, including potential images of the console’s motherboard and discussions about demo units.
Until Nintendo officially unveils the Switch 2, it’s wise to approach these photos with skepticism. However, they align with recent rumors about the console, including the magnetic attachments and subdued colors.
