Unlock the Truth About Nintendo Switch 2 Leak: Separating Fact From Fiction

Nintendo Switch 2 Leak: 8-Inch Display, 12GB RAM, and More?

The Nintendo Switch has been a phenomenal success for the company, and many are eagerly awaiting the next iteration. While Nintendo has been tight-lipped about the Switch 2, a recent leak has emerged online, claiming to reveal the design and specifications of the upcoming console.

Alleged Switch 2 Images

The leak, which originated from an unverified source on a Chinese social media site, shows what appears to be the Switch 2’s design. The console has an 8-inch screen, magnetic Joy-Cons, and USB-C ports on the top and bottom. Additionally, it’s claimed that the system will have 12GB of RAM, support for HDMI 2.1, and 256GB of internal storage.

Other Rumored Features

Based on the images, it looks like the SL and SR buttons on the Joy-Cons may have been revised. The release button on the controllers also appears to have been changed.

Veracity of the Leak

While you should remain skeptical of this leak, the images reportedly match what Nintendo’s partners have been told to expect according to Videogames Chronicle’s source who has not seen the Switch 2 but has been briefed on the plans. The details also appear to be in line with previous leaks suggesting an 8-inch display.

What’s Next?

There’s still a lot to learn about Nintendo’s next console, like what type of display will it have? Rumors have suggested that it could launch with an LCD display instead of an OLED. But we should find out more the closer we get to launch. Speaking of the launch, Nintendo did tease that it would make an announcement "within this fiscal year." The current fiscal year ends on March 31, 2025, so there’s a good chance we’ll see the new system then.
