Photos of what appears to be an updated Nintendo Switch matching all of the previous leaks of the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 have appeared online. Obviously we’re getting to the point where leaks would be ramping up for the Nintendo Switch 2 as production is rumoured to have begun, but equally we’d expect fake images to increase as well, so whilst the below matches up with everything we believe to know about the Nintendo Switch, it’s worth being cautious.
These photos originated on Reddit and seem to come from a Chinese production line or manufacturing company. The 10+ photos of parts and renders can be found HERE.

The photos show off a larger Nintendo Switch which is rumoured to have an 8-inch screen, there’s a USB-C port at the top and the bottom, which has been long requested for charging when in tabletop mode and it’s our first look at the updated Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con which are rumoured to connect by magnets and appear to have bigger side buttons that won’t require the wrist strap railing. There’s a button on the back of each Joy-Con, but it’s unclear if this is just the mechanism to release the Joy-Con or a third shoulder button.
As far as the specs go, it’s said to have 12 GB of ram, a 256GB SSD as well as HDMI 2.1 out support. Based on the specs, it’s rumoured to be somewhere between a PS4 Pro and Xbox Series S performance wise, before DLSS will presumably enhance performance.

We’ll keep you posted on if we hear more about this and obviously if Nintendo announce anything (beyond them saying they’ll announce the console before March 2025), we’ll let you know.
