A 3D Printed Nintendo Switch 2 Mockup Shows How Much Bigger It Might Be

HUGE!

The first Nintendo Switch 2 components and subsequent renders seemingly leaked online earlier this week, and a YouTuber has used the renders and measurements to 3D print what it could look like and compared it to several handhelds.

It seems to be a lock at this point that the Nintendo Switch 2 will have a larger 8-inch display, and one of the areas that have been critiqued about the original console is the Joy-Con design which will also seemingly be improved both in how they connect (magnetically), the size of them to improve ergonomics and also the buttons on the side being big enough to be used without the wrist strap attachment.

In the video we see comparisons to the Nintendo Switch OLED, the PlayStation Portal and the Steam Deck. Interestingly enough, despite having a larger display, it’s smaller than the Steam Deck OLED, and almost as big as the PlayStation Portal.

Given the size of it, it’ll be interesting to see how it feels ergonomically as if there is one thing that many other handhelds have improved on since the Switch came out, it’s ergonomics, and especially with a bigger foot print, Nintendo will need to do some work there to make this comfortable in handheld mode.
