The recent rumors and leaked prototype images of the next-generation Nintendo Switch 2 have sparked excitement among fans. The design, based on these leaks, suggests that the Switch 2 will closely resemble the original but with key improvements. Some notable features include a larger size, as noted by many users, and a new magnetic Joy-Con attachment system.
Earlier in May, Famiboards forum member LiC shared leaks that suggested the Nintendo Switch 2 could feature 12GB of RAM, consisting of two 6GB LPDDR5X modules with a transfer speed of 7,500MT/s, along with 256GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. These specs point toward a significant performance boost over the original Switch, aligning with the latest rumors circulating from other sources.
Additionally, the rumored magnetic Joy-Cons, as reported by the Spanish publication Vandal, suggest a departure from the original sliding rail mechanism, introducing a more convenient attachment method. Vandal’s report also indicated that the Switch 2 would be larger than its predecessor but still smaller than the Steam Deck, striking a balance between portability and enhanced functionality.
These rumors point to a more powerful and versatile device, generating a lot of excitement within the gaming community.
As Nintendo has not officially responded to the leaks, the details remain speculative for now. However, VGC reached out to a source familiar with Nintendo’s plans, who confirmed that the images leaked on Reddit align with what has been shared internally by the company.
Nintendo’s President Shuntaro Furukawa recently indicated that the Switch successor is slated for an announcement within this fiscal year, though the multiple leaks may influence the timing of official reveals.
